WSJ: Iran war exposes gaps in US defence systems
The Wall Street Journal reported that the Iran war has provided countries including China, Russia and North Korea with insights into the capabilities and limitations of the United States military.
The report said the conflict offered a rare opportunity for rivals to observe US systems in active use.
It added that Iranian drones appeared to challenge elements of the THAAD system, with reported impacts including damage to radar infrastructure in Jordan and the United Arab Emirates.
