Key findings suggest that the U.S. will face increasing missile threats, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/china-claims-us-nuclear-submarine-in-south-korea-source-of-tension-in-region\/\" title=\"... claims US nuclear submarine in ... \u2018source of tension&#039; in region\">including intercontinental ballistic missiles<\/a> (ICBMs), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/maintaining-americas-nuclear-deterrent\/\" title=\"Maintaining ...\u2019s Nuclear Deterrent\">submarine-launched ballistic missiles<\/a> (slbms), hypersonic weapons, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >land attack cruise missiles<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/russia-china-sign-agreement-on-joint-lunar-station\/\" title=\"Russia &amp; ...

North Korea&#8217;s missile testing activities, which intensified recently amid rising tensions with the U.S. and its allies, were highlighted as a important concern, although China and Russia are noted to have larger arsenals. The DIA emphasized that no part of the U.S. Homeland is immune to potential missile strikes, reinforcing the need for robust missile defense systems. The report serves as a crucial insight into the nature of missile threats faced by the U.S. and the urgency for enhanced defense measures.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">DIA releases assessment warning of &lsquo;advanced&rsquo; weaponry dangers from US foes<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2121938\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The &ldquo;Golden Dome for America: Current and Future Missile Threats to the U.S. Homeland&rdquo; assessment was released by the Defense Intelligence Agency earlier this week, specifying the kinds of threats the U.S. will face from advanced missile weaponry in the next decade.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dia.mil\/Articles\/Press-Release\/Article\/4182231\/dia-releases-golden-dome-missile-threat-assessment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">report<\/a> provided information on the &ldquo;agency&rsquo;s unclassified intelligence on adversary missile threats and capabilities.&rdquo;&nbsp;The objective of the assessment was to depict &ldquo;the threats a sophisticated missile defense system for the U.S. would defend against.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense\/3410617\/senate-committee-approves-trump-dod-nominees-historic-pace\/\">Senate committee approves Trump DOD nominees at historic pace<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense\/3410425\/emmanuel-macron-gaza-aid-blockade-israel-unacceptable-benjamin-netanyahu\/\">Macron accuses Netanyahu of &#8216;unacceptable&#8217; blockade of Gaza aid: &#8216;Shameful&#8217;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense\/3410272\/trump-offers-new-vision-of-u-s-middle-east-policy\/\">In Saudi Arabia, Trump offers new vision of US Middle East policy: No &lsquo;permanent enemies&rsquo;<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">DIA released an unclassified assessment depicting the threats a sophisticated missile defense system for the U.S. would defend against.

The communist nation claimed the testing was done due to perceived aggression toward North Korea by the U.S. and its allies. Tensions increased earlier this year when, in January, the U.S. conducted military drills with South Korea and Japan in East Asia. The joint exercises made North Korea uncomfortable, and in response, the country <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3344726\/north-korea-ballistic-missiles-us-south-korea-joint-drills\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">launched missiles<\/a> in a weapons testing exercise in January, February, and March.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>North Korea tested ballistic missiles during its exercises, a kind of weapon that the DIA report listed as one of the most dangerous threats to the U.S. And while North Korea has been more active recently, China and Russia have a significantly larger inventory of the weapons, according to the report. However, another cause for concern regarding North Korea is the country&rsquo;s leader, Kim Jong Un, vowed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3350843\/north-korea-vows-strengthen-nuclear-capabilities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">&ldquo;update and strengthen&rdquo;<\/a> its nuclear capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Other weapons listed as threats included submarine-launched ballistic missiles, boosted hypersonic weapons, land attack cruise missiles, and a low-altitude ICBM known as a fractional orbital bombardment system.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/foreign-policy\/3411604\/trump-would-like-discuss-immigration-surprise-choice-pope-leo\/\"><strong>TRUMP &lsquo;WOULD LIKE&rsquo; TO DISCUSS IMMIGRATION WITH &lsquo;SURPRISE CHOICE&rsquo; POPE LEO<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dia.mil\/Portals\/110\/Documents\/News\/golden_dome.pdf\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">assessment<\/a> warned that there was &ldquo;no part of the Homeland which cannot be struck&rdquo; by intercontinental ballistic missiles and submarine-launched ballistic missiles.
