What are the US prepared for the creation of space forces?

The United States turned from words to action and began to create a new kind of troops - space forces.


Data on how much will be laid down in the creation and development of US space forces vary, but in any case we are talking about billions of dollars.



So, the Deputy Secretary of Defense of the United States Patrick Shanahan said that the creation of space forces will cost in the amount of 5 to 10 billion dollars.

However, a little earlier the possession of the American media was a memorandum by the US Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson, where the cost of a new type of troops is estimated at 13 billion dollars in the first five years alone.

The U.S. defense budget for 2019 stipulates that in the near future, the deployment of American systems for tracking and intercepting ballistic missiles will begin in space. The contractor is a Pentagon unit known as the United States Missile Defense Agency.

The document stipulates that the priority is the creation by the end of 2022 of a workable space sensor system with the subsequent deployment of interceptors.

No matter how the USA develops with its “priority” and “subsequent” tasks, there is no doubt about one thing - there will always be money for this. In any volume.
