TAMPA, Fla. — U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) successfully completed the ninth consecutive evening of strikes against Iran, July 19, at 10 p.m. ET.

CENTCOM assets targeted Iranian military command centers, air defense and coastal surveillance sites, maritime capabilities, missile and drone launch sites, and communications networks to further diminish Iran's ability to attack commercial vessels and civilian mariners transiting the Strait of Hormuz.

The U.S. military is holding Iran accountable at the Commander in Chief's direction. CENTCOM forces remain highly vigilant, focused, lethal, and ready.

🇺🇸⚡️ — Lockheed Martin has unveiled the new PAC-3 Adapted Capability Effector (ACE) interceptor for the Patriot air defense system.

Designed to reduce the cost of air and missile defense, the PAC-3 ACE is expected to cost less than half the price of a PAC-3 MSE interceptor, potentially under $2 million compared to roughly $4 million for the PAC-3 MSE.

The PAC-3 ACE is intended to intercept less sophisticated ballistic missile threats, allowing the more capable PAC-3 MSE to be reserved for the most demanding targets.

Imagine making an interceptor that's even worse than the PAC-3 MSE, which already struggles to intercept Russian and Iranian ballistic missiles. Makes sense.
