The current American missile defense system is not able to protect the United States from Russian or Chinese missiles. This statement was made by Donald Trump's ex-national security aide John Bolton.

According to Bolton, which he expressed in his article for The Wall Street Journal, the American missile defense system is not able to cope with Russian and Chinese ballistic missiles, not to mention the latest developments. While the Biden administration is spending billions of dollars on anything but missile defense, Russia and China, as well as other countries, are rapidly developing their weapons.

The politician stressed that the White House urgently needs to address the issue of missile defense, since the threat today comes not only from Russia and China, but also from Iran, which has begun developing a hypersonic missile, as well as North Korea, which is successfully testing new missile weapons.

While our rivals were developing hypersonic and other threatening new technologies, the US's deterrence capabilities and the country's readiness to respond symmetrically militarily were only decreasing

Bolton wrote.

Earlier, the Pentagon said that the creation of a missile defense system capable of protecting the United States from Russian missiles is technically impossible and may require enormous costs. The anti-missiles in service with the United States are capable of intercepting only monoblock ballistic missiles, they are powerless against ICBMs with separable warheads. For 2020, 44 Ground-Based Interceptor (GBI) mine-based anti-missiles were deployed in the USA in Alaska and California, 20 more were in the plans.
