US President Donald Trump ordered the construction of a rocket defense against the Israeli air defense system Iron Dome for the US. However, the question is whether this system is useful for the States.
Against the Decree, the Republican dedicated the US Minister of Defense to submit a plan for the implementation of a “Rocket Defense board of the next generation” within 60 days. Among other things, due to the development of space -based intercepting systems, this should therefore protect this against ballistic missiles, hyper -schall missets and highly developed marching rockets.
In the past 40 years, the threat of the next generation of strategic weapons has not decreased, but has become “more intense and more complex”, according to the scheme. Referred to the developments of the rocket gun power of non -tasted opponents.
Trump wants to have a system in the US.
Trump had previously said during a meeting of Republican Congressmen in the city of Miami in Florida that the system was produced “directly here in the US”. The Iron Dome of Israel protects the country against attacks with rockets and drones. Since the defense system was commissioned in 2011, the Iron Dome has deterred thousands of rockets.
Question mark about suitability for the US
Trump had repeatedly promised in the election campaign to have an Iron Dome version built for the United States. He ignored that the Israeli rocket protection screen is designed for short -hauld threats and is therefore not suitable for defense against intercontinental missiles that represent the most important danger for the US. Nevertheless, the Republican praised the Israeli system again.
The new Minister of Defense Peter Hegseeth had announced that he wanted to fundamentally change his authority before he took office – with the top priority of the attitude of diversity programs that should promote diversity, equality and inclusion in the army.
The former Fox News presenter has little political experience. When confirming the US Senate there were also reservations in their own ranks. For the necessary majority in the Senate, the voice of Vice -President James D. Vance, who dissolved the stalemate, was ultimately needed.
