US military officials are scrambling to develop a "Golden Dome" defense system that can protect the country from long-range missile strikes and have been told by the White House that no expense will be spared in order to fulfill one of President Donald Trump's top Pentagon priorities, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter. "Golden Dome" is the Trump administration's attempt to rebrand vague plans for developing a missile defense system akin to Israel's Iron Dome. At a time the Pentagon is looking to cut budgets, the Trump administration has ordered military officials to ensure future funding for "Golden Dome" is reflected in new budget estimates for 2026 to 2030 " but the system itself remains undefined beyond a name, the sources said.
Any idea who came up with the F-47 designation for the new stealth development, which Orange Julius, our 47th president, has declared "a beautiful number" (www.nytimes.com)?
