In the United States, Boeing-led specialists have completed the construction of 20 new mines for the U.S. missile defense system at Fort Greeley, Alaska. This was reported on March 5 by the Defense News portal.

"Boeing recently announced that it has officially installed the 'first of 20 additional' silos for the Ground-Based Midcourse Defense system, which is more than 20 years old," the material says.

Thus, the number of missiles that the United States can deploy in Alaska has increased from 40 to 60.
