A CNN news segment discusses the Trump administration's proposal for a nationwide missile defence system, dubbed the "Golden Dome", similar in concept to Israel's Iron Dome but on a vastly larger scale. Military analyst Cedric Leighton highlights the geographic challenges of such a system for the United States compared to the much smaller Israel, noting the focus would likely be on protecting key infrastructure and populated areas from threats potentially originating from nations like Russia or China with advanced missile capabilities. The conversation also touches upon the development of new US military technology, specifically Boeing's contract for the F-47 fighter jet designed to penetrate enemy air defences, and how this relates to the evolving capabilities of potential adversaries. Leighton assesses the current state of the US Air Force as capable but acknowledges the need for advancements to maintain an advantage in light of other countries developing their own advanced aircraft.
