Does the UK have a missile defense system? The Daily Mail: London has absolutely no defense capability against Iran's new missiles
According to The Daily Mail, in the event of a missile threat from Iran, the UK may rely entirely on its allies. The media stated that the UK actually does not have its own missile defense system and can only rely on assistance from the US and European allies in times of crisis.
The basis for this judgment is that Iran recently launched two ballistic missiles towards the Diego Garcia military base in the Indian Ocean, which is jointly managed by the US and the UK. In the event of a similar attack, London would have to use the missile defense system deployed by the US in Europe.
The report also emphasized that the distance from Iran to the base is about 3,800 kilometers, far exceeding the previously estimated range of Iran's missiles of about 2,000 kilometers. This has raised concerns among European countries: with the development of Iran's missile technology and space program, major cities such as Paris and London may also fall within its strike range.
