The New Dark Age

Wednesday, 11 March 2026 — Dialog Works Highlights

A deep technical discussion on the real capabilities of modern missile defense systems. The interview examines Patriot and THAAD intercept rates, the importance of early-warning radars, and how the destruction of key radar infrastructure can disrupt missile tracking and defense networks. It explores how drones and missile strikes have challenged U.S. bases in the Persian Gulf, potentially shifting regional political dynamics. The conversation also looks at the engineering limits of ship-based interceptors and radar systems, arguing that many missile defense decisions were driven more by politics than by technical analysis.
