Trump's 'Golden Dome': Can US Build Next-Gen Missile Shield? | JQJO

President Trump's proposed 'Golden Dome' missile defense system aims to counter advanced threats from Russia and China, unlike existing systems focused on North Korea. Experts agree a modernized system is crucial, but question the feasibility and immense cost of a multi-layered defense against hypersonic weapons and space-based attacks. The Golden Dome, still in its conceptual stage, would involve land, sea, and space-based components, potentially requiring thousands of space platforms. While inspired by Israel's Iron Dome, the scale and complexity of the US's needs present a significant challenge.
