Donald Trump's plans to build a multi-layered Golden Dome rocket defence strategy endanger to undermine the established atomic and space safety framework, warns Russian abroad Minister Sergei Lavrow.
Trump's initiative, first presented in January 2025, aims to build a multi-layer shield to defend against ballistic, hypersonic and maneuvering missiles launched by the U.S. "equal, almost equal and rebellious opponents".
The strategy is based on space interceptor missiles designed to destruct hazards in the take-off phase, minutes after take-off.
The White home estimates that Golden Dome will cost $175 billion, but another estimates indicate importantly higher spending, ranging from over 500 billion to 3.6 billion dollars in 20 years.
In a Monday video address addressed to participants of the Moscow Conference on the Non-Proliferation of atomic Weapons, Lavrow warned against the risks associated with Washington's activities.
"As a consequence of the destructive actions of the United States and its allies, the hazard of militarisation of space and its transformation into a conflict region is clearly increasing" – he said.
Lavrow pointed out the Golden Dome program to be launched by 2028, stating that it constitutes "a serious threat to strategical stability".
Lavrow's statements mention to a joint informing from Russia and China in May 2025, erstwhile both countries argued that the Golden Dome could let the US to neutralize ‘radically weakened retaliation attack“in the event of a decision to initiate a atomic conflict.
However, any analysts question the feasibility of the Golden Dome project, as it is based on space interceptors, which are designed to destruct targets in an highly short time, and at the same time requires crucial breakthroughs in the scope of sensors and artificial intelligence technology.
The Golden Dome somewhat resembles president Ronald Reagan's 1983 strategical defence Initiative – more widely known as Star Wars – which was besides based on space interceptors.
The task was abandoned a decade later, after spending as much as $50 billion, without utilizing orbital weapons due to immense costs and impossible to overcome technological challenges.
The russian Union was afraid about this initiative, calling it the tool of the first strike and reacting to it, intensified its space defence program, which has further encumbered the already deteriorating economy.
