US Intelligence Forecasts Spike in Global Missile Threats
The U.S. intelligence community warns of a significant increase in global missile and drone threats over the next decade, according to a new National Air and Space Intelligence Center report. This escalation is driven by adversaries developing more numerous, advanced, and maneuverable weapons, including hypersonic and cruise missiles. These new systems are designed to challenge and overwhelm current U.S. and allied air and missile defense networks. The assessment highlights the growing complexity and lethality of the threat landscape. It underscores an urgent need for modernized defense capabilities to counter these evolving dangers.
