Suggested questions
How effective is U.S. missile defense against North Korean threats?
Ballistic missile defense is extremely costly for the U.S., potentially requiring 8 to 70 times more spending than the attacker. Even with optimistic estimates, defending against a range of 500 to 6000 warheads could cost between $60 billion and $5.3 trillion 1.
