Donald Trump proposed a “Golden Dome” rocketing weather system of $ 175 billion for the US, with the aim of improving protection against air threats. The plan includes advanced technologies that are comparable to the Iron Dome of Israel, aimed at multi -layered defense options.
New Delhi:
President Donald Trump of the United States wants a 'golden dome'-a ground, sea and space-based rocket weather system-that protects the US and possibly also Canada, even if it does not want to be the 51st American state.
Trump made his big announcement on Tuesday and spoke about an advanced shield to combat the next general air threats, including ballistic and cruise rockets. With an estimated US $ 175 billion, the 'Golden Dome' will ultimately use technologies of the next generation in the country, the sea and the space, “he said.
Trump has been throwing the idea 'Golden Dome' for weeks, even in March when he addressed the American congress and promised to build a system to match the famous Iron umbrella organization of Israel and underlines the position of the US Army as “the most powerful”.
He then mentioned Israel and said, “Israel and other places have it … and the US should also be. This is a very dangerous world. We are going to protect our citizens like never before.”
The 'protector in the air'
Missile Defense Systems are an increasingly critical part of the military capacities of a country.
In short, it consists of interior, multi -layered systems that are designed to detect incoming ballistic weapons, follow and intercept in various stages of flight – Boost, Mid -Cursus, Terminal. The goal is simple – detect and shoots a rocket before it strikes.
Consider the iron dome of Israel (and Arrow), which has intercepted thousands of rockets and rockets since he went online in 2011. Proof of its importance was demonstrated in April and October last year, when it was most of more than 100 dismissed by Iran.
The Iron Dome system of Israel intercepts missiles fired at Tel Aviv.
They were also in action the year before – when the intercepted rockets fired by Hamas in the military conflict that broke out after the group attack on 7 October on citizens.
Yes, there were questions about the system that reached the saturation point after the Hamas had fired more than 5,000 rockets in 20 minutes and the iron dome managed to intercept several. However, the point remains- it has saved hundreds of thousands of lives over time.

And then consider the integrated air defense network of India, under the leadership of the native Akashteer system that protected the country during Operation Sindoor in May, when Pakistan fired hundreds of drones and missiles.
So what's in each of these three systems?
Our '' Golden Dome '
The outer layer will Space -based infrared systemOr Sbirs, which are linked to ground -based radars to rely on satellites to rely on incoming air threats.
In essence, this offers an early warning for rocket launches.
It will also be the Ground-based midcourse defenseOr GMD, the backbone of the US defense against intercontinental ballistic rockets. The GMD uses land -based interceptors that are used on the west coast to stop rockets during their midcourse phase.
Space -based infrared system
At sea there is the Aegis Ballistic rocket defenseOr BMD, who uses warships to involve ballistic missiles from short to intermediate range. The AEGIS initiative was implemented by President Barack Obama in 2009, when he stopped rocket locations in Poland (to the great lighting of Russia) and improved SM-2 surface-air missiles on American naval war ships.

Sitting in the BMD is the Terminal High Height Area DefenseOr Thaad, a mobile, land-based, hit-to-kill system that can intercept ballistic rockets with short, average and intermediate range in their terminal phase.
Incidentally, the Thaad is also in Israel; In December last year it was used to intercept a ballistic rocket that was reportedly fired from Yemen by the Houthis supported by Iran.
Terminal at a great height of defense
For shorter series of ballistic rockets and other threats in the terminal phase, the US trusts the Patriot Advanced Capability-3Or PAC-3, interceptor missiles. These are also part of a plan to prevent the possible use of Chinese hypersonic weapons in the Pacific.
With that in mind, the US and Japan worked to set up PAC-3 systems there.
Israel's iron dome
The Iron gait is located in the inner part of the Israel anti-rocket system. The outer layers are 'David's Slinger'For central to long-distance missiles, and Pijl-2 And Arrow-3For ballistic rockets on long distance.
It can intercept goals up to 70 km away and has a claimed 'kill rate' of 95 percent.
Each iron dome battery consists of three main sections: a radar detection system, a computer to calculate the trajectory of the incoming rocket and a launcher that fires if the rocket is probably supposed to touch a structured or strategic area.

'David's Sling' can intercept goals up to 300 km away and the arrow systems up to 2,400 km; Arrow-3 can touch ballistic missiles, even outside the atmosphere of the earth.
The first started to work in 2017 and the last one has been around since 2000, when the West Asian region was thrown after the First Gulf War of 1991.
And there is an upgrade for Israel – Iron Balk – a powerful laser interceptor.
According to the Israelis. It can go to a series of a few kilometers at the speed of lighting, has an unlimited magazine, almost zero costs per interception, and causes minimum collateral damage.
India's 'Guardians of the Sky'
The integrated air defense system from India – an automated system integrates data from forces to combat air threats, and includes systems managed by the army, navy and the air force – was brought together under the integrated Air Command and Control System.
The multi -layered system has a section to prevent drones by firing air defense weapons.

This is followed by a second layer that includes A-point defense systems to protect specific areas or assets; These include short-sized surface-air missiles such as the Spyder, Pechora and Osa-Ak.
The third is the medium distance from surface-air missiles such as the Akash and Indo-Israeli MRSAM. And the fourth, for area defense, long-distance Sam's were fired from the Russian S-400 and the fighter jets.
The multi-layered AD system was in action during air assignments in Sindoor.
The defense systems destroyed Pakistani drones and PL-15 missiles on the night of 8, 9 and 10 May, so they would not go into our airspace.

India has also integrated the Air Defense System of the army to ensure “seamless integration of ground, air and space systems,” says the Air Force Doctrine.
Other advertising systems?
Of course India, the US and Israel are not the only countries on this list; Russia has the A-135 anti-ballistic system that protects Moscow and other large cities and the powerful S-400 that can eliminate several ballistic rockets between average range.
India has three S-400 squadrons with two more to be delivered.
China has various options, including the HQ-9 long distance, surface-air, anti-ballist-capable system that is sold to Pakistan, Morocco, Egypt, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
India has three squadrons of the Russian-made S-400 Missile Defense System (file).
Incidentally, the Indian government said it had eliminated a Pakistan HQ -9 system – which was established in Lahore – during Operation Sindoor.
Taiwan and Japan also have such systems; The first has the Sky Bow Family of surface-air, anti-ballist rocket and anti-aircraft weather system, while the latter is set to operate the PAC-3 of the US of the air-3 of the air.
And the list of countries with layered air defense systems will probably only increase as the diplomatic and military tension around the world continues to become tighter.
