JAKARTA - Golden Dome for America program director General Michael Guetlein believes the United States does not have adequate protection against missile attacks and needs to immediately strengthen its defense capabilities.
"We have a 'Golden Dome' because this country is relatively unprotected. We must immediately change this condition. Global developments show how dangerous the current situation is," Guetlein said at a conference held by McAleese and Associates, quoted by Antara Tuesday, March 18.
In May 2025, US President Donald Trump launched the Golden Dome project, which is estimated to cost nearly 175 billion US dollars. The layered defense system will integrate land, sea, and space technologies to protect US territory from missile threats.
The first major test of the system is reportedly scheduled to take place by the end of 2028.
Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov warned that the United States' project to develop the Golden Dome global missile defense system could pose a serious threat to strategic stability.
