"Trump makes promise to the Golden Dome" The president of the United States intends to deploy interceptive space missiles for the remainder of his word of office"

"After full construction, the Golden Dome will be able to capture missiles even if they are fired from another parts of the planet — and even if they are launched from outer space."The rocket shield will combine current defence resources with fresh generation technologies deployed on land, sea and space — including orbital sensors and interceptors, Trump said.

Moscow had previously criticised this initiative as a destabilising step towards arming space."We are the only ones who have it – we call it "supertechnology".

No 1 else has it and no 1 else has anything akin to what we have.” – Trump claimed, while giving small method details about how Golden Dome would actually work. The initiative will be headed by General Michael Guetlein, Vice-Chief of Space Operations in the United States Space Force, who had previously described this undertaking as "about the Manhattan task Scale".The Golden Dome evolved from the first concept of administration "Iron Dome for America" and was renamed early this year.

Unlike the Israeli Iron Dome, which was designed to capture short-range rockets, the American version is intended to counter a wider scope of air threats, including hypersonic and orbital systems.Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stressed that fresh technological developments make the imagination of a comprehensive rocket defence decades ago more feasible.

"Technology was gone.

Now it is’ said, seemingly referring to the abandoned program "Star Wars” president Ronald Reagan of the Cold War.The first $25 billion was already allocated in Trump's proposed defence budget, with two-party support expected at the Capitol.

However, any legislators expressed concerns about long-term method costs and feasibility.

The Congressional Budget Office late estimated that the full cost of specified a strategy could scope from $161 billion to $542 billion in 2 decades.Despite scepticism in any circles, the administration presented the Golden Dome as essential to defend the US against developing rocket threats from rivals specified as Russia and China, as well as unfair entities.

The fresh briefing of the Defence Intelligence Agency warned that opponents were actively developing systems designed to exploit gaps in the US defense.U.S. action is ‘directed opening’ to weaken Russia and China's strategical deterrent measures, said Russian MFA spokesperson Maria Zacharowa after Trump signed the applicable implementing regulation in January, arguing that "it will not contribute to reducing tensions or improving the strategical situation".
