An additional system of systems is designed to protect the United States from possible strikes of intercontinental ballistic missiles from North Korea and, perhaps, Iran.
The United States has completed the construction of an additional 20 mine launchers for anti-tanks based on Fort Grili in Alaska. The work was carried out by Boeing, reported by Defense News.
The US Missile Defense Agency is said to have a 60 mine launcher in Alaska and four at Vandenberg Air Base in California.
In this regard, the Newsweek magazine said the further deployment of US systems was intended to protect the United States from possible strikes of intercontinental ballistic missiles from North Korea and, perhaps, Iran if he developed his potential.
It is known that, as part of the implementation of US President Donald Trump’s initiative, Pentagon began developing the idea of creating a system about a Gold Dome. In addition to strengthening ground -based missile defense, the program provides for the integration of system -based missiles.
Keep in mind that in December 2024, the United States for the first time successfully interrupted a medium -range ballistic missile. The trials took place on the coast of the island of Guam in the western part of the Pacific Ocean.
The media also reported that the United States had deployed hypersonic weapons until the end of 2025. Dark Eagle Hypersonic Missiles had the ability to speed up 5 Makha – about 6 thousand km per hour.
