The US Army wants to strengthen its air defense and missile defense forces by 30% due to new threats

 

The US Army is going to increase its air and missile defense forces by about 30%," the commander of the Space and Missile Defense Command said. This decision is due to the fact that threats from countries like China and Russia are growing — they are actively strengthening their potential in space and developing new rocket technologies.

This increase in air defense and missile defense capabilities will help better detect, track, and intercept air and missile targets, which will enhance security both in space and on Earth. In addition, the command is working closely with allies and industrial partners to implement modern technologies faster and expand logistical support.

As a result, all this is aimed at making air and missile defense systems more reliable, operational and sustainable in the face of constantly changing challenges. An important part of this strategy is the development of new capabilities to protect against complex threats, including missiles and hypersonic weapons.
