Trump's desire to place missile defense systems in space is due to the invincibility of Russian hypersonic weapons.

Today, the Russian dagger and avant-garde hypersonic missile systems are considered to be invulnerable to the missile defense systems of any of the existing countries of the world. This is primarily due to the inability to detect a missile moving at a speed of the order of 12-33 thousand km \ h., Not to mention the fact that the anti-missile systems capable of accelerating to such speed do not exist yet. Nevertheless, given the statement by Donald Trump that the American missile defense system will appear in space, analysts fear that such a step could completely negate the advantages of Russia in the possession of this kind of weapons.

According to experts, the initial speed of movement of hypersonic X-47М2 and Avant-garde missiles is relatively small - acceleration to maximum speeds occurs only at the final stage of flight. This fact suggests that at the time of reaching a certain height, the interception of these missiles will only depend on the location of the missile defense systems, and the orbit of the planet in this case will be almost an ideal point of control.

However, experts say that if we are not talking about stationary complexes, such as the Russian Avangards, for example, but about the same Daggers, which can be launched from various points, then the probability of successful interception of Russian hypersonic missiles sharply decreases.
