ZYTHI WORLD ANALYSIS

On May 22, 2025, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov boldly declared that has generated shockwaves across the global defense world. In a conversation with reporters, Ryabkov claimed that Russia has missiles capable of penetrating any layered air defense system globally, including the United States' ambitious "Golden Dome" missile defense umbrella. This allegation, as noted by the Eurasian Times, comes amidst the U.S. advancing plans for a $175 billion initiative to establish a multi-tiered, space-based defense system capable of countering ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles. As tensions mount and the threat of a new arms race haunts the world, Ryabkov's comments underscore the increasing technological and strategic competition between world powers.

This sweeping tax and spending legislation, a cornerstone of Trump’s second-term agenda, now heads to the Senate, where it faces an uncertain future.

President Donald Trump’s ambitious “Golden Dome” missile defense system has sparked heated debate since its announcement on May 20, 2025. Touted as a revolutionary shield to protect the United States from ballistic, cruise, and hypersonic missile threats, the project draws inspiration from Israel’s Iron Dome and Ronald Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), colloquially known as “Star Wars.” Promising a multilayered, space-based defense network at an estimated cost of $175 billion, with completion targeted by the end of Trump’s term in 2029, the Golden Dome has been hailed by supporters as a bold step toward national security.

Here’s why the Golden Dome may remain a lofty vision rather than a reality. A Scale Beyond Imagination The Golden Dome’s scope is staggering.
