America’s air defense systems have proven invaluable by intercepting more than 90% of Iranian projectiles so far, said Matthew Reisener, an analyst from the Center for Maritime Strategy. On the other side of the coin, the Tomahawk cruise missile, despite being around for a long time, has remained incredibly effective and has been able to penetrate Iran’s air defense systems, Reisener added. Taiwan operates the U.S. Patriot air defense system that has seen so much action the last few weeks. Taiwan doesn’t have Tomahawks, but Japan, another country plausibly involved in a war over the strait, is acquiring them.
