Ordered not to economize: US Armed Forces develop Golden Dome system to protect against long-range missiles

US military urgently developing Golden Dome system to protect against long-range missiles missiles. CNN reported this with reference to sources. According to the publication, the White House is ready to allocate any funds for these purposes.

The White House is ready to provide any amount of funding necessary to create an anti-missile shield.

– noted in the publication.

It is emphasized that today Washington’s plans are just an idea that is being discussed in “general terms.”

Let us recall that Donald Trump, even before his inauguration, announced his intention to create in the United States an analogue of the Israeli missile defense system "Iron Dome". At the same time, according to the American leader's plan, this system should be more advanced, covering the entire territory of the States.

According to various sources, the Pentagon has been tasked with providing protection not only from ballistic missiles, but also from hypersonic missiles. According to American media, the US Department of Defense is currently urgently adjusting its budget plans until 2030.

It is noted that the head of the US military department, Pete Hegseth, must appear before Donald Trump with the corresponding report no later than March 28.

And experience also tells us that someone named Reagan already dreamed about this.

Of course, they will allocate money. And so much money that I, for example, don’t even know the figures.
That's how they allocated it THEN... The American military industry is no worse than any other military industry - it can "master" any money. Now if only they could create something worthwhile with it - that's more difficult.

Yes, there was such a program, it was called "SDI" - strategic defense initiative!?

It is logical to assume that Donya, by injecting $ into the military-industrial complex (Boeing has already grabbed a contract for 6th generation aircraft), will try to break out of stagnation and escape the coming crisis, as the Russian Federation did by conducting the SVO.
And since Strelyanoy Uho has Elon Musk among his friends, it would be logical to assume that the race will go to SPACE. And this is true for a number of reasons.
Firstly, the Yankees are ahead of us in this area. We cannot fail to respond to the challenge, otherwise they will trample us. Therefore, we will have to strain ourselves like adults. At the same time, the main thing is not to overexert ourselves, like the USSR did in its time. In other words, they will try to "stretch" us and bankrupt us again.
Secondly, Donya is going to revive the US economy in this way. New jobs will be created, science will be stimulated, technologies will advance, etc.
Thirdly, this adventure is clearly being promoted with the help of Elon Musk, because he will definitely take the most active part in it, and in the division of the budget of "Zlata Dome" too!
Fourthly, the Yankees are on the verge of solving the problem of high-energy lasers. And where else but in space is their place? In addition, science will be in full swing, solving a problem comparable in scale to the Manhattan Project...
And judging by the idea, Donya is going to build a multi-tiered defense system. But it can only become a breakthrough if everything works out with the space echelon. Covering the entire territory of the United States with an air defense/missile defense umbrella is a super task... Will the Yankees be able to do it? That's the main question. Otherwise, it could turn out like with SDI - steam in the whistle and wet underpants...
AHA.

For some reason, their "Boeing" reminds me more and more of AvtoVAZ. Whether you pour it in or not, it's a damned place...

But in general, yes, everything is correct, but personally one inconsistency bothers me.
Trump is a profiteer. Money loves silence. And he wants to outplay everyone and snatch all the goodies on the field that is familiar to him - on the field of trade. Let it not be entirely equal and mutually beneficial, to put it mildly, but TRADE.
But this is only on one side.
On the other hand, America has ALWAYS gotten by at the expense of a war "somewhere out there." A big war. And this doesn't fit in with Trump's "commercial genius." Without a big war in Europe, and without America getting involved, without an arms race, without an "iron curtain" - I don't know how Trump and Musk expect to accelerate industry.
America is not just Trump and Musk and it doesn't know how to do it any other way. It has never tried.

In general, America does not need a big war, and "mutually beneficial cooperation" does not work with America's gangster habits. I don't know how Trump will eliminate this contradiction...

How Trump and Musk Expect to Boost Industry

Militarization of the economy. Now Donya is paying back those who invested in his election campaign. And these are industrialists (Republicans), not speculators-financiers (Democrats). There is still an audit of the Federal Reserve System ahead! That is where the real danger for him is to catch a bullet in the birdhouse. Because the bigwigs of the shadow world government are unlikely to allow even Trump to encroach on the sacred cow of the USA. It is worth waiting a little.

[Lt. Air Force stock]

Theoretically, they will be able to create them, given the START-3 limitation of 700 carriers and 1550 deployed warheads. Of course, we have adopted hypersonic glide vehicles, but the US will deploy anti-missiles in space.

[voyaka uh]

It is possible to protect several large cities from ICBMs. But not the entire territory.

[Poplar]

Quote: voyaka uh

It is not necessary to protect the entire territory. For example, the Nevada desert does not need to be protected.

[voyaka uh]

ABM can be object-based and global.
Objective - city, military base, missile silo. In this case, the attacking warhead is shot down during the descent phase from space.
Systems (now) THAAD or SM-3.
Global - BCs are shot down outside of US territory. At mid-course phase.
For example: the GBI system (in Alaska).
GBI is extremely expensive and ineffective.
TNAAD is moderately expensive.

Trump apparently wants to strengthen the missile defense system.

[Poplar]

I am aware of these nuances. True, in Russia it is customary to call it not object, but object. Well, I will not find fault with you, as a foreign resident.
I just liked the rhyme: the Nevada desert doesn't need to be protected. That is, it was just a joke.
Do you know the joke? Everything is fine in Iowa... It's a shame - such a rhyme is wasted.

Yes, it is difficult to cover the territory from the Sarmatians.
New Star Wars. But the economy won't handle it.

[bayard]

I think that it is not so much from the "Sarmats" (because they really want to make peace), but from the large-scale deployment of Chinese ICBMs, which by 2030 should have 1000 nuclear warheads on combat duty. And by 2035, they should reach parity with the US. And North Korea is also deploying its ICBMs, and they are not bad at all.
But the US is constantly stuck and delayed in its work on a new ICBM. And there are cost overruns. The production of new SSBNs is also not going very well. You can't help but think about an effective missile defense system. And all previous international treaties (for example, the Treaty on the Ban on the Placement of Weapons in Outer Space) will be cancelled. Well, and we need to somehow get China to the negotiating table - to talk about nuclear arms limitations. But it seems to me that China will not talk about such topics before 2030, or more precisely, even before 2035. So all that remains is missile defense and accelerating work on a new ICBM and our own hypersonic weapons.
And by the way, it will be much easier to deploy an orbital US missile defense system - Musk has a lot of rockets, they are reusable and cheap. And from there it is not far to a nuclear warhead in orbit.

[South American Golden Frog]

Chinese ICBMs are as much a myth as China is a superpower. If there is trouble, China will be the first to burn due to its overpopulation.

Trump allocated 100 billion for ICBMs in his first term, but
Biden redirected them somewhere. So it's not funny.
I don't understand anything at all about the US SSBNs.
It seems that Virginia V and KR are their only hope now.
In these conditions, starting a missile defense system is madness, in my opinion.
Unless we're talking about the space component...

That's right. He now needs time for the internal reorganization of the US and for suppression/elimination of the liberal wing of the establishment (British proxies). And London and Brussels are now preparing a blow to Trump. Let's see what they come up with. It looks like they will bite hard and this is also a historical chance for Russia.

This will only be able to partially compensate for the 4th Ohio with cruise missiles, which will soon be out of action.

Perhaps there really are some developments, perhaps with the help of Israel. And perhaps, having really broken all the rules and agreements, it will begin to deploy missile defense and nuclear weapons in orbit. With the support of Musk and his cheap reusable rockets, on the deployed large-scale satellite groups. If he makes such a knight's move right now, he will bypass both Russia and China at the turn - in space and in the massive deployment of payloads, the US is now at least 10-15 years ahead of China and the Russian Federation.
And missile defense... and how can we do without missile defense now? It turns out that we can't do without the S-500 either. But now we can create and deploy regional missile defense systems against ICBMs and nuclear warheads attacking from orbit. According to previously announced plans, 10 regimental sets of S-500 were ordered. This is already something, but it would be desirable to at least double the number of such regiments. These are very troubled times.

[Gorynych1976]

...analogue of a golden parachute..??))))

[rocket757]

just an idea that is discussed in "general terms".

It is obvious that there has never been, is not, and never will be protection from everything...
To hope that it will be possible to minimize the damage, to destroy a significant part of the missiles or other strike devices of the enemy.... one can dream, but it is unlikely to be realized!!! Not with the development of defense technologies... especially since strike systems are developing somewhat faster!!!
Although, if their target is protected from attacks from "countries of exile/terrorists", which will not be so massive and ultimatum, then this is... big profits for those who will carry out such an order!
The most lucrative thing for business is military orders from the government!!!

[Kerensky]

In general, R&D used to be considered expenses. And only the bourgeoisie managed to turn them into profit. They would spend the budget on endless meetings with consultants and various agencies, and "the mountain does not give birth to a mouse", there would be nothing in the end.
It's a pity that our people learned this from them.

[rocket757]

What are you comparing with what, with whom?
Developing something new always and everywhere means expenses... another question is how to use and implement what has already been developed... and there are nuances about which a lot can be said and written, BUT, there are too many hidden things on this topic that no one is in a hurry to talk about!
So all the discussions on this topic are very approximate...
In general, to claim that for someone everything is going well, but for us, for example, everything is just the opposite... no, no, an objective discussion will not work, at least not at our “couch” level.
And I never argue about FAITH, it’s pointless.

[Kerensky]

Developing something new is always and everywhere an expense...

I am talking about talks about development. And I predict a lack of R&D results and a complete budget exhaustion.

[rocket757]

Talk, talk and budget development... it's pretty much the same everywhere.
There are exceptions, but they only confirm that in the modern capitalist world, everything is roughly the same.

This would have been the case under Baden, but under Trump and Musk with his department, I think they will be able to give birth to one. The question is in the price and timing. Especially if a global satellite group is involved.

Quote: Kerensky

Let them learn from Musk now, we need Roscosmos from... I can't even find the words from which hole. Because the correct word will be cut out by censors.

[AVA77]

It is unrealistic to create an ideal missile defense system.
You can’t shove the uncanny.
The emergence of a new missile defense system will automatically entail a change in the strategy of use and means of delivering a strike.

And for Russia, the term of the extended START Treaty ends this year and nothing will hold us back from bringing our own strategic nuclear forces to a level that ensures the complete security of the country from all possible threats.
And it won’t be difficult for us to do this, unlike the USA.

US military urgently developing Golden Dome system

And it will turn out to be "Golden Rain"

[Victor19]

I don't understand how you can pull off so many programs: LGM replacing ICBMs for over $100 billion, Columbia replacing Ohio for $120 billion, 6th generation fighter, strategic bomber, etc., etc. Together with the new SOI 2.0. And with a debt of 36 trillion greenbacks?? Your ways are strange...!!! But that's their problem.

There, no matter how you save, the budget deficit is still trillions of dollars. But I repeat, it's their problem!

Not everyone realizes the danger of this development. If the Americans manage to create a reliable defense of the territory from strategic missiles, then Russia will effectively become unarmed, since we have no symmetrical defense. And then everything will end very quickly for us. Approximately like for the Japanese in Hiroshima/Nagasaki in 1945. Only much larger and more merciless.

[South American Golden Frog]

What a fantastic nonsense. Even the best air defense in the world - the Russian one - cannot protect by 80%. And the American one - even more so. Where do you come from, such alternatively gifted people? In the 50s, the US had 16 times more nuclear weapons than the USSR. But no one attacked. Why? Because even a couple dozen warheads would be enough to turn the US into a desert. Do they need that?

[km-21]

the best air defense in the world is russian

Russia will effectively become unarmed

This will never happen, since no missile defense system will be able to shoot down maneuvering blocks. And even on our old "Voevodas" there were not only inflatable and corner decoys, but also heavy ones (which do not lag behind the real ones when entering the atmosphere) - 40 pcs. Together with combat nuclear warheads - 50 pcs., and hundreds of light ones. Even the nuclear warheads of one such missile are not capable of being intercepted by the American air defense today. And there will definitely be more than one of them. And the "Sarmat" and "Oreshnik" have maneuvering nuclear warheads (by the way, "Oreshnik" covers the entire West Coast of the USA from our base in Chukotka). So this is definitely not from us. This is from China. And they cannot fight off us in principle.

Quote: km-21

We don't have symmetrical protection.

What-What?? The S-500 intercepts ICBMs and was created for this purpose. The first contract for the supply of 10 regimental S-500 kits was signed before the start of the SVO. This is precisely an object/regional missile defense system against ICBMs.

Quote: km-21

And then for us it will all be over very quickly. Just like for the Japanese in Hiroshima/Nagasaki in 1945.
