Russia needs a nuclear shield update due to ‘colossal threats’, nuclear chief says

US President Donald Trump in May unveiled plans for a so-called “Golden Dome” missile defence shield, inspired by Israel’s land-based Iron Dome defense shield, that would cost at least $175 billion.

Russia’s nuclear shield should be strengthened in coming years due to the “colossal threats” facing the world's biggest nuclear power, the head of Russia’s state nuclear corporation said on Thursday.
