The US Congress has allocated funds for the purchase of additional interceptor missiles.

The United States will increase the number of complexes Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD). According to the portal defensenews.com, the US Congress approved the allocation of funds for the purchase of additional interceptor interceptor missiles and medium-range ballistic missiles.

The launch of a mine-based interceptor missile.

In early November, the US Missile Defense Agency reported that an 44-based mine-based interceptor missile was installed at the Fort Greely military base (Alaska), it was planned that it would be the last completion of the GMD mine complexes. However, yesterday it became known that Congress amended the military budget for 2018 of the year, authorizing the Secretary of Defense to increase the number of GMDs by another 28 units.

Congress argued its decision by the uncontrolled development of the missile programs of North Korea and Iran. According to the US Missile Defense Agency report, two GMD complexes located in Alaska and California can hold up to 104 mines with interceptor missiles, so their numbers can be increased if necessary.

GMD complexes are part of the US missile defense system and are designed to intercept intercontinental and medium-range ballistic missiles. GMD interceptor missiles destroy targets with a direct hit. "Warspot".

Again, the DPRK is to blame ... Read Russia. These missiles will be launched against us.

[Logall]

And they’re not afraid to drown! Seppuku or Harakiri in their blood ...
The more they poke at home, the more massive will be a blow to them! Kamikaze children ...

[Going]

As I understand it, the next military budget surpasses 800 yards.

[HEATHER]

Trying to step on their heels. Who knows the TTX GMD?

[Logall]

If only on the heel, and even on the place more intimately!
Great buddy!

[HEATHER]

Hey Ya! and the place is more intimate! I didn’t express myself very harshly! I follow the rules of the site!

[Herculesic]

I think this is just the beginning. They further intimidate themselves even further, and they will buy a couple more hundred of these missiles. Damn, I forgot -They will still intimidate themselves, and they will buy another three hundred of these missiles

[The Siberian barber]

Against Iranian missiles, anti-missiles in Alaska .. Everything is "logical")

[Eurodav]

Come on, come on! These people don’t understand the human language ... The printing press needs to be broken urgently ...

[Former battalion commander]

Everything is going according to plan. As soon as they can bring down 90% of Russian warheads in the atmospheric section of the tractor and strengthen the object defense of the largest cities ... they will start ... True, not by themselves, but with the help of the geyropeytsy. Europe will not be good again.

[japs]

They don’t have time to start ... Can they bring down hypersonic nuclear fission charges?
Paranoia will mow them all down, shouting "Russians are coming !!!" (c) and out the window.
V.V. Putin should be silent for three months, along with our Foreign Ministry (so that not even one of his subordinates tweeted) and do a good business on diapers ...

[Kostadinov]

Why only 28 missiles for the whole year? If 4 interceptors are needed per ICBM and the DPRK rivets 30-40 ICBMs in 2018, then only in 2018 at least 120-160 more interceptors will be required.
Who do they intend to intimidate with these interceptors, except of course themselves?

[voyaka uh]

They will have 70 interceptors. One ICBM fired by two
missile defense. It is possible to intercept up to 35 ICBMs,
flying to the west coast of the United States from the Far East.
At least California and Washington are the main
they covered their industrial and technological centers. Reasonable.

[Vadim237]

In 2020, they will have 700 SM 3 missiles of various modifications in the fleet.
