US completes successful test of Golden Dome missile defence system

US Secretary of State Pete Hegseth said the US achieved “full mission success” in the test of Golden Dome. The Golden Dome is a multi-layer missile defence system designed to detect and destroy ballistic, hypersonic and cruise missiles before launch or during flight. Hegseth said he personally watched “elite warfighters” use next-generation technology to stop incoming drones and cruise missiles.
