Iran has developed the Shihab-3 Missile.
They can reach up to 1200 miles now!
I think its more like 1200km or about 900 miles, that puts Israel in the sphere but Poland is still about 500 miles out of range. If the reason is to defend from Iranian missiles, why aren't Turkey & Romania deploying anti missile systems?
It seems counter-factual to argue that the missile defense system is intended as a safe guard against Iranian missiles. I am sure it is intended to counter a potential Russian attack. If I were running the Russian Federation, my natural response would be to up the number of short and medium range ballistic missiles in order to make up for any erosion caused by the Polish defenses in the event that a Russian missile launch is warranted.
