Of protection from a “limited ballistic missile strike,” theyĭeclared the essentially global goal of covering the territory of the United Secure a “comprehensive revision of the US missile defense policy” andĮstablish provisions for a significant increase in military spending. Thus, any satellites in low earth orbit and some spacecraft in high Developing a speed of 7-8 kilometers per second, GBI isĪble to bring the striking combat unit to a height of 6 thousand kilometers. Notably, the potentialĬapabilities of a GMD missile (known as the Ground-Based Interceptor – GBI) are System, – successfully hit a satellite in a 240km orbit. – the SM-3 missile, which is part of the Aegis ship-based missile defense However, in 2008, the so-called ‘younger sister’ of the GMD interceptor Main targets, until recently, were the missile potentials of Iran and North In 2004, it put into operation the ground-based midcourse phaseĪntimissile defense system (GMD),which is designed to combat ICBMs, while its United States never stopped developing new space technologies for military The withdrawal from the ABM Treaty all but confirmed fears that the Bush withdrew from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty. Washington has made an unequivocal bid for strategic dominance in allĪreas of human presence, including outer space. Openly proclaim a de facto imperial strategy of conduct on the international Political and economic influence in the world.

The Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), proclaimed by President Reagan Was launched by Ronald Reagan in the early 1980s. Outer space bring back memories of the infamous ‘star wars’ initiative, which Now, US President Donald Trump’s ambitious plans to deploy combat systems in Tests of the US anti-satellite weapon system were carried out in October 1959. Initiative to develop these types of weapons came from Washington. To spread beyond the “club” of leading players. Indicate that compared to nuclear weapons, anti-satellite weapons technology needed a much shorter time India’s recent project to test means of destruction of space objects On April 1, it was announced that the United States had blocked the final report of a UN expert group which envisaged measures to prevent the deployment of weapons in outer space. One of the priority projects involves near-earth orbit combat lasers capable of shooting down intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). Meanwhile, on January 17 this year, the United States released the first in nine years, review of the country’s Anti-Missile Defense strategy. Western analysts accounting for India’s moves say they have been prompted by fears about China’s military capabilities, which Beijing demonstrated back in 2007. According to Western media reports, thus the number of countries that have successfully tested anti-satellite weapons technology has increased to four. On March 27, the Indian leadership announced a successful destruction by a missile launched from the ground of a space satellite positioned at an altitude of about 300 km.
