Ukraine’s ballistic missile interception rate plunged from 37% in August to just 6% in September 2025 as Russia upgraded Iskander-M and Kinzhal missiles with new software.
These missiles now fly predictable paths at first, then pull sharp maneuvers, steep dives, or terminal shifts to evade Patriot interceptors.
Ukrainian officials call it a “game-changer.”
The issue echoes U.S. carrier defense worries in the Pacific: China’s DF-21D/DF-26 anti-ship ballistic missiles also use terminal-phase maneuvers at Mach 10+ to overwhelm Aegis defenses.

NEW: The U.S. is expanding its THAAD missile defense base in Israel, increasing launch pads from 6 to 11.
During the 12-day war in June, Israel used ~150 interceptors (¼ of stock), with THAAD handling half of all Iranian ballistic missile kills.
As of Sept 2025, the U.S. fields 8 active THAAD batteries (42–48 launchers, ~550 missiles).
Satellite images show 6 pads in use plus command posts with AN/TPY-2 X-band radar (previously aimed south at Yemen).
The site could host up to 3 THAAD batteries if needed; currently 2 are deployed in Israel.

BREAKING: Hamas’s Response to US President Trump’s Gaza Proposal
Hamas, after consultations with its leadership, factions, and mediators, has submitted the following response:
Appreciates Arab, Islamic, international, and Trump’s efforts to end the war, allow aid, reject occupation, and prevent displacement.
Agrees to release all Israeli prisoners (living and dead) under Trump’s exchange formula, once field conditions are met, and is ready for immediate negotiations.
Agrees to hand Gaza’s administration to a Palestinian technocrat body, based on national consensus and Arab/Islamic support.
Other issues in Trump’s plan (future of Gaza, Palestinian rights) require a broader national position and international legal framework.

Reform UK councillor Claire Mackie-Brown said the quiet part out loud, then instantly regretted it.
She said she felt scared “as someone who was born and bred here” when asked about asylum seekers.
When pressed about a local white male rapist case, she backtracked:
“I shouldn’t have said that.”

Hamas official Mousa Abu Marzouk:
Our priority is stopping the war and massacres, and from this perspective we are engaging positively with Trump's plan.
We have agreed nationally to hand Gaza’s administration to independents, under the reference of the Palestinian Authority.
Delivering prisoners and bodies within 72 hours is theoretical and unrealistic under the current circumstances.
Shaping the future is a national issue. Hamas will not decide it alone.

Hamas is a national liberation movement. The plan’s definition of terrorism does not apply to it.
Weapons were to resist occupation. If it ends and Palestinians govern themselves, there’s no need for arms.
We will hand over weapons to the future Palestinian state.
