The idea of zombie in nuclear missile defense returns with the announcement of President Trump’s “Golden Dome” missile shield. Orbital anti-missile systems are a dream come true for the US military and industrial complex (MIC), but a nightmare for taxpayers, and a dangerous and unstable exacerbation of the international weapons race. Observing the saga of missile defense is like being a character from the film “Groundhog Day.” Since the 1960s, the Pentagon has issued a declaration of the imminent success of missile defense projects, with annual testing and battlefield events indicating that the SYSTE system is unable to greet missiles. So I’ll attack this zombie idea again.
Depicting Golden Dome for Low Information Voters
Learn the wrong lesson
Whatple, the Israeli iron dome system, has effectively intercepted hundreds of rough Palestinian short rocket rockets, with missile defensive sub-dogie cards expired. Long-term missile interceptors in Israeli arrows and David’s slings have been used to fire down the ballistic missiles of old Iran and Yemen. What Israel has to do was demonstrated on October 1, last year, when the weakness in Israel’s missile defense capabilities hit military targets on October 1, 2018, and on October 1, when it effectively instilled missile missile defense. Over the past few weeks, Israelis have been trying to bomb Event Time, where Yemen will launch missiles towards Israel. There is clear evidence that Israel does not have reliable missile defense capabilities.
This is a conceptually simple engineering problem for intercepting ballistic travectors to fly missiles. Newton’s law makes the flight path of ballistic missiles the government, allowing radars and computers to pilot interceptors to fill incoming missiles if range and time are permitted. However, deviations from predictable ballistic traits create problems where interceptor missiles may not be fattened by excessive como. Iran revealed warheads that changed their speed and trajectory as they approached the target, thus allowing them to avoid intercept. Iran also overwhelmed missile defenses. A similar method is used by Russian missiles in the Ukrainian War, and the US supplying patriot missile interceptors often fails to destroy incoming targets.
Iron Dome – Trump’s Inspiration
Trump, an instard for collecting the shortcomings of missile defense technology, has denied his mountain to emulate the “success” of Israel’s Ion Dome, but on a very large scale, the US has imperviously absorbed into urinary missile attacks. Without technical justification, Trump intends to spend billions on unproven orbital missile defense systems with the ultimate potentially unexcluded costs while the US faces an unbearable budget deficit.
Trump’s epic Golden Dome program is an ambitious project facing major technical hurdles as it does not document evidence of feasibility. The decision was the enforcement of the Reagan administration’s ill-fated Star Wars Missile Defense Program, and also makes it easy to consider orbital missile interceptors. After pursuing the dream of missile defense for decades, everything the US has created is dozens of ground ICBM interceptors deployed in California and Alaska, with a record of around 50% of successful tests. Army patriots and THAAD systems have had mixed consequences for modern short-lived people, and the Navy’s expensive SM-3s were unable to protect the relatively unsleashed Houthi missiles in the Red Sea.
Orbital defense issues
The initial $25 billion commitment to the Golden Dome program in the currently proposed defense budget is based on an unproven theoretical concept of orbital missile interception. Orbital inserts face the same challenges as ground systems. The issues are summarized in the following table.
As the table shows, there are measures that the defense system must address for all missile defense measures. Although orbital interceptors have the post-factor advantage of hitting at the relatively long central stage of ICBM flight, they still have to deal with the unresolved issues of decoy discrimination and face the unpleasant sub-primacy of saturation attacks. Miracles leave low-flight cruise missiles and nuclear torpedoes, even if all technical obstacles are excessive.
Burevestnik – Flying under the Golden Dome?
The sky is not the limit of Golden Dome spending
The Golden Dome is a jackpot for the Mikoh Orbital Missile Defense System. It’s very expensive. We ignore the cheap, hilarious Starlink satellites that were mass produced and fired dozens at once. The elements of the Golden Dome require extraordinary sensors, complex interceptor missiles, and sophisticated, safe command and control equipment. Non-commercial competitive pressures put hardware prices at levels outside of this world. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has already estimated that the Golden Dome space-based components could cost between $161 billion and $542 billion over 20 years. Given the history of the runaway defense program, this estimate could be very optimistic.
The Eleven Golden Dome has sensors and interceptors in its orbit, and they never exist. The spacing of interceptors in orbit determines the minimum reaction time to intercept the incoming missile, so the more interceptors there are in the Valisus orbit, the more likely the central intercept is. The decision to include launch phase and terminal phase interception functions adds Furter to the desired quantum of orbital compont. But why does it stop there? What about 800 US military bases and US allies around the world? Shouldn’t they be under the Golden Dome of the World? With better hardware being developed, more and more numbers of orbital assets will need constant upgrades and will steadily require replacement satellites using low Earth orbital APs of 5-10 years. Therefore, the total life cell cost of the Golden Dome is potentially unlimited. This project is a vision for paradise for American defense companies.
A race to ruin
Geopolitical strategists have long confused that ICBM defense systems are the disinfection of scarrow, as they can provide incentives for first strike action against enemies that lack defensive shields. Even a partially effective defensive system may be sufficient to block retaliatory strikes of enemies weakened by successful folding. At nuclear, defense planners must prepare for conservative decisions and capabilities. With the development of Febre US missile defense systems launched during the Reagan era, Russia generated operations that delayed ICBM warheads and long-range nuclear porn dog shields, increasing the risk of miscalculated nuclear war. Thus, Trump’s missile shield program, no matter how wrong, leads to a new cycle of weapons racing, increasing the risk of nuclear war and wastes US economic resources. This is good news for our makers, but bad news for the rest of us.
Conclusion
Trump’s golden dome leaks like a sieve if a terrible day of a nuclear missile attack arrives. Addressing thousands of ballistic targets onslat, low tension warheads, and low-flying cruise missiles will cause catastrophic damage to the US and the proposed system can reduce the race of SAF weapons on us. Even if it brings the fear of nuclear war, all America will bear the massive costs of the Golden Dome. The terrible waste of militated military spending was eloquently explained in a 1953 speech by President Eisenhower.
Every gun made, every warship, every rocket fire, in the last sense, means theft from people who are starved and unfeeded. This world of world is not about spending money alone. It spends the sweat of its work, the genius of scientists, the hopes of children. This is the cost of one modern heavy bomber. It is a modern brick school in over 30 cities. It is two power plants, each serving a town with a population of 60,000 people. It is a two-fine, well-equipped hospital. It’s 500,000 concrete pavement. We pay for one fighter with half a million bushels of wheat. We are paying for a single destroyer in a new home where Coul has left over 8,000 people. . . . This is not a true way of life. Under the clouds of Thread War, it is humanity hanging from the iron cross.
Now, thanks to Trump, America is upgraded by hanging from the leaky dome of gold.
