Space Force general to lead Trump’s Golden Dome space defense program

توضیحات:

Former President Donald Trump has announced a $175 billion “Golden Dome” missile defense project, aiming to create a next‑generation shield over the U.S. using space‑based interceptors to defend against hypersonic and advanced aerial threats. The system would take about three years to develop, though experts warn the true cost could exceed $500 billion. Led by U.S. Space Force General Michael Guetlein, the project has drawn criticism from China for its offensive potential, while Russia called it a sovereign U.S. decision, Space.com has reported. Inspired by Israel’s Iron Dome and Reagan’s “Star Wars” initiative, Golden Dome seeks to complete Reagan’s vision of a space‑based missile defense system.
