Plan Defense Rocket Golden Dome: Because US President Donald Trump has selected $ 175 billion project on Tuesday and identified General Space forces to lead the program, experts suggest that he could oppose the main technical and political obstacles and the actual costs of achieving his goals could be much higher than expected.
While the US President strives for a defensive system capable of facing a wide range of enemy weapons, including intercontinental ballistic missiles, hypersonic and excursion missiles and drones, he also wants him to be office by the end of his second term.
“The main challenges will be the cost”
Melanie Marlowe, a non -resident head of the missile defense project at the Washington Center for Strategic and International Studies, said: “The main challenges will be the cost of defense and political will. Everyone can be overcome, but it will focus and focus on it.” ”
She added: “The White House and Congress will have to agree on how much to spend and where the money comes from. Our defense industrial base was atrophy,” although “we started to revive it”.
Marlowe also emphasized the need for further progress in sensors, interceptors and other key elements of the project.
Estimate of the price ‘not realistic’
The Assistant of International Affairs and Air Engineering at the Georgian Institute of Institute of Technology Thomas Roberts said that the estimated price was “unrealistic” and added: “The challenge with yesterday is that they lack the details needed to develop the model.
“The question is how to face the most effectively”
The head engineer in Rand Corporation, Chad Ohlandt, said “the threat is obviously deteriorating”, but “the key question is how to face the most effectively”, continue, “any issue of realism or feasibility” for the Golden Dome “depends on where we set the Latka.
“The number of bureaucratic, political, scientific and technological milestones should be achieved”
A common member of the Royal United Services Institute, Thomas Withington, said: “There are a number of bureaucratic, political, scientific and technological milestones that will have to be achieved if the Golden Dome enters service that it will actually enter any meaningful capacity.
The Golden Kupole, inspired by the Israeli iron dome, is designed to defend the United States from advanced missile threats, including hypersonic and space missiles. Pentagon chief Pete HegSeth said the system aims to protect “homeland from excursions, ballistic missiles, hypersonic missiles, drones, whether conventional or nuclear”
