US President Donald Trump has announced the construction of a missile defense system inspired by the Israeli 'Iron Dome'.

This system, known for its high rocket interception rate, will be adapted to protect the United States. Mr. Trump has signed an order for the immediate launch of the project, emphasizing the need to protect the country against potential threats.

The missile defense system that the United States is developing has some key differences from the Israeli 'Iron Dome', which was designed primarily to intercept short-range rockets and missiles, whereas the American system is designed to intercept short, medium, and long-range ballistic missiles.

The American President is awaiting a detailed implementation plan from the Pentagon.
