Traditionally, Russia and China have opposed expanded missile defense efforts from the US. So it’s not a surprise Moscow and Beijing aren’t big fans of Golden Dome, the new concept for a national air and missile defense shield over the country. But how might they react?
Breaking Defense’s Aaron Mehta sat down with Tom Karako, a missile defense expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and John Plumb, a former top DoD space official now with K2 Space, to tackle that question in this second video from our roundtable. In addition, the panel discusses how allies and partners are working on their own Golden Dome-esque plans, and how that could impact America’s supply chain going forward.
