Trump pledges to 

build system to protect his country from hypersonic missiles


Former U.S.

President Donald Trump announced that if elected president in 2024

he would build a system to protect the United States from hypersonic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads.


In a speech 

Trump said the world had become "more dangerous"

during current President Joe Biden's term, and that World War III would be an "unprecedented disaster", much more serious than the First and Second World Wars.


There is no greater risk of lethal nuclear weapons and hypersonic missiles.

By equipping them with nuclear warheads, they can erase entire cities or countries from the face of the Earth in a few minutes' time. We cannot allow this. "


He continued :

  • I will build a shield to protect America from rocket attacks.
  • We will have a peace based on strength. And that's what we had
  • you have to remember that. 


Trump pledged that he would work with Congress and military leaders to "build a modern missile defense shield of the next generation."


He added that "America must have an impenetrable dome to protect our people", with Israel and its "iron dome" as an example.


He said:

We must be capable of defending our nation.

allies and military positions around the world from the threat of hypersonic missiles regardless of their origin. Our adversaries must realize that they will be destroyed, not the United States

if they launch those missiles into our country. 

  • It is not clear what specific plan
  • build to protect the country from hypersonic missiles.


Hypersonic missiles are a relatively new technology

and are being researched and developed to defend against them, including missile defense systems, electronic capabilities and electronic warfare.


It is likely to require significant investment in R&D

as well as collaboration between government agencies and private companies to develop a successful system of hypersonic missile protection.



Hypersonic missiles are of great concern to

many countries because they are able to travel at incredibly high speeds and can evade conventional missile defense systems. They can also carry nuclear or conventional warheads, making them a major threat to national security.


To protect against hypersonic missiles

various defense strategies are sought and developed, including missile defense systems, electronic capabilities and electronic warfare. Some possible ways include:


  • Develop advanced radar systems that can detect and track hypersonic missiles
  • Improved existing missile defence systems to intercept hypersonic missiles
  • Use electronic capabilities to disable or disable hypersonic missiles before they reach their target
  • Use electronic warfare to jam or disable hypersonic missile routing systems



It is important to note that hypersonic missile protection is a complex

and challenging task that

potentially requires significant investment in research and development as well as collaboration between government agencies and private companies to develop a successful hypersonic missile protection system.
