[Regnum] About 900 more American troops are being deployed to the Middle East, Pentagon spokesman Brigadier General Patrick Ryder said on October 26 at a regular briefing for journalists. “I am ready to confirm that approximately 900 military personnel have been deployed or are in the process of being deployed to the area of responsibility of the US Central Command,” he said. The representative of the US Department of Defense added that the military are mainly operators of air defense and missile defense systems, including THAAD missile defense systems and Patriot complexes. These troops are being transferred from military bases located in the continental United States, Ryder noted. According to the Pentagon press secretary, the military will not go to Israel. However, he did not specify where exactly they would be located. "Somewhere...else" As Regnum reported , according to The Wall Street Journal, the United States intends to deploy almost 12 air defense systems in the Middle East in anticipation of Israel's ground operation in the Gaza Strip. It is known that the Pentagon will send THAAD to Saudi Arabia, and Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems to Kuwait, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE. On October 17, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered 2,000 military personnel to be put on high alert for the possibility of sending them to the Middle East amid the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. |
