Iron Dome, or “Iron Summit”, the Israeli’s anti -meat system
US President Donald Trump has announced that the United States will have by 2029 a new anti-lone defense system, which dubbed the “golden summit.”
Like the mythical that defends Israel, Donald Trump announced the creation of a golden summit for the US.
“I am pleased to announce that we have officially selected an architecture for this state -of -the -art defense system“The US president told reporters in the White House oval room this Tuesday.
Trump added that the Canada will join the projectwhich will be operational at the end of his term in 2029, and will cost a total of “approximately $ 175 billion (155 billion euros) when completed.”
The “golden dome” is inspired by the Israelite anti -lone defense system Iron Dome – “Iron Summit” – From this derived the name adopted by Trump.
What is the Iron Dome?
Israel, as we know, has one of the best air defense systems worldwide.
By the way, there is one of the best defense systems in the world in general – this was one of the factors when on October 7 last year.
In the air defense system stands out Ironor Iron Dome. As RTP recalls, this system was created in 2006, at the time of the conflict in the Lebanon with the Hezbollah – who killed dozens of Israelites through air attacks. It only began to be used five years later.
Combat essentially short -range weapons. Operates under any climate, use radars to locate rocketsdrones or missiles and can identify which will reach inhabited zones – that is, only wag the apparatus that would reach people or buildings.
Israel has several batteries associated with the iron dome: each battery has three to four launchers who can shoot 20 intercetory missiles. The missiles go through a arc route And on this trip, the missiles or enemy drones destroy.
Each Iron Dome interceptor, 3 meters long and 15 centimeters wide, costs about 40 thousand euros. Already a complete system (radars, computers and three to four launchers) costs almost 100 million euros.
Israel has 10 systems Iron dome operating.
Now, Trump wants a similar “toy”.
