"In recent months Israel and the United States have discussed the
possibility of an Israel acquiring the American-made missile defense system
THAAD, instead of developing a new generation of the indigenous Arrow
defense missile.

Israeli decision-makers will have to make up their minds in the coming year
whether to commit to acquiring the American weapon system or invest in the
development of a more advanced Arrow

The American THAAD (Theater High-Altitude Area Defense), developed more
than a decade ago, and whose mission is similar to that of the Arrow,
failed in initial testing and the timetable for the completion of its
development has been delayed on a number of occasions. However, in 2006 the
system passed a number of critical tests, including the interception of
targets simulating enemy missiles.

The system includes components and technologies that are not part of the
current generation of the Arrow, which is in operational service with the
Israel Air Force."

Check the range of the THAAD. Check the wording of the MCTR. Check recent
statements wrt Israel & nuclear weapons.

So is the US to be a supporter of nuclear/missile proliferation?
