The US is planning to develop the "Golden Dome" missile defense system

The US President Donald Trump considers the creation of a missile defense system called the 'Iron Dome' as one of the main priorities to ensure the country's security. This system could become an analogue of Israel's famous 'Iron Dome' defense complex. According to CNN, despite the likelihood of cuts to the Defense Department's budget, Trump intends to implement this project.

The project remains an idea

According to CNN sources, the US President has instructed to include the costs of creating the 'Iron Dome' system in the defense budget planned for 2026-2030. However, there is currently no complete concept of how this system will look and how it will work in the White House.

A source in the American administration emphasized that due to the unknown specific parameters of the project, it is almost impossible to assess the budget needed for the system. Additionally, according to the source, the US cannot fully replicate Israel's experience, as the two countries differ significantly in terms of territorial size and logistical capabilities.

The process of creating a missile defense system in the US

In the first week after his inauguration, Donald Trump signed an order to create a new missile defense system to protect the United States. This order was developed to strengthen the country's defense and effectively respond to external threats.

According to Bloomberg, fully implementing such a system by 2030 could require approximately $100 billion in annual expenses.

The US government is considering the idea of creating the 'Iron Dome' missile defense system, but for now, this project is in its initial stages. If the project is implemented, it could further enhance the US defense capabilities. However, when and in what form the system will be launched remains uncertain.
