At the same time, on May 18, it was noted that the Golden Dome would require the deployment of a group of 7,8 thousand interceptor satellites in orbit. It is specified that in order to maintain the grouping, the United States will have to launch about 1.6 thousand new devices annually at a cost of $ 22 million each. The total cost of creating the Golden Dome system itself will be approximately $1.1 trillion.

In March, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that due to the destructive actions of the United States in defense, the risks of militarization of outer space are increasing. According to him, the implementation of the Golden Dome project, which provides for the deployment of space-based interception weapons by 2028, poses a significant threat to strategic stability.
