Ted Postol

MIT professor Ted Postol, a renowned technical expert on missile defense, exposes the flaws in the U.S. missile defense system. He argues that the touted 61% interception success rate is misleading, likely closer to zero in real-world scenarios. Ted details how tests are rigged for favorable outcomes and highlights the simplicity of countermeasures that can easily defeat current systems. He also discusses the challenges of accurately discriminating between warheads and decoys, revealing significant vulnerabilities that could undermine national defense.

Ted Postol, a former MIT professor and missile defense expert, critiques President Trump's ambitious Golden Dome initiative, claiming it's as unrealistic as Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative. He argues that like the 'Star Wars' concept, the Golden Dome oversells unproven technology while repeating historical mistakes. Postol shares insights about the misleading nature of military technological claims, the complexities of missile interception, and the deceptive tactics used by adversaries. His analysis raises concerns about national security policy driven by fantasy rather than feasibility.
