North Korea criticized the US plan about futuristic “Gold Kupala” missileSaying it can “turn space into a potential nuclear war.”
The defense system, which President Donald Trump plans to submit by the end of his term, aims to counteract the “air” threat to the next generation, including ballistic and cruise missiles.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs Pyongyang cut the plan as “the height of independent (and) arrogance,” state media reports.
He accused Washington of “bent … to the militarization” and warned that the plan could cause “global nuclear and space weapons.”
North Korea considers Washington an enemy and regularly condemns joint military exercises between the US and South Korea.
Pyongyang probably perceives the gold dome as a threat that can “significantly weaken” its nuclear arsenal, gang min, senior analyst at the Korean Institute of National Association, AFP AFP said.
“If the US is completing its new missile defense program, the north will be forced to develop alternative means to counteract or penetrate it,” he said.

North Korea joins China, criticizing the US plan. Last week, Beijing said he was “seriously concerned about the” golden dome, which, he said, has “strong consequences of the offensive.”
“The United States, pursuing the” first “US policy, obsessed with the search for absolute security,” the Chinese Foreign Ministry said. “This violates the principle that the safety of all countries should not be violated and undermines global strategic balance and stability.”
Many analysts believe that the update of the US defense systems is needed, but some warn the process of developing gold dome may face technical and political problems.
For the first, its hefty price tag may sucked out a large piece of US defense budget.
The initial amount of $ 25 billion (18.7 billion pounds) was recognized in a new budget account – although the government estimated that it could end 20 times than decades.
