On January 31st, Friday, Russia condemned the plan for Donald Trump’s plan to formulate a missile shield, reminiscent of the “Star Wars” initiative, warning that it could turn space into a battlefield.
Trump’s execution order on Monday, January 27th called for the creation of a “American iron dome” to solve the elements of the “Planet War” plan in Reagan’s “Star Wars” in the Reagan era. Interceptor.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Maria Zakharova criticized the plan in the briefing and pointed out: “We think this is another confirmation of the United States’ intention to turn space into an armed confrontation and deployment of weapons. “She compared Trump’s proposal to the original” Star Wars “plan, and she called it” abominable “.
Zakharova accuses the US’s goal to destroy the strategic deterrence of Russia and China. She said: “Frankly speaking, these American methods will not cause tension to reduce tensions.”
The administrative order’s mention of the “iron dome” was drawn from Israel’s missile defense system, which is very effective in intercepting short -distance rockets. However, the threats of missiles facing the United States are obviously different from the threats solved by the Israeli system and are more advanced.
Russia has been promoting its own missile technology, and Vladimir Putin launched the treble missile “Oreshnik” last year, which can fly ten times with sound speed. At the same time, the United States emphasized the gap between China ’s defense strategy in 2022 that China is narrowing the capacity of ballistic and treble missiles.
Moscow and Washington have accused each other for weaponization, and the competition in the militaryization of space has intensified. In May last year, the United States accused Russia and the US satellites deploy “space weapons” on the same track.
