However, the spread and increased capacity of missile are also playing a role in missile proliferation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 140%;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif; color: black;\">Indeed, countries operating missile forces are incentivised to increase and improve their arsenals in the hope of overcoming defensive architectures.

The session highlighted the paradox that missile defences, while essential for protection, create incentives for adversaries to expand and sophisticate their arsenals, addressing resulting risks such as space militarisation and the necessity of confidence-building measures.","og_url":"https:\/\/www.nonproliferation.eu\/hcoc\/webinar-the-shield-and-the-sword-the-impact-of-ballistic-missile-defence-on-missile-proliferation\/","og_site_name":"HCoC","article_published_time":"2025-11-17T15:07:08+00:00","article_modified_time":"2025-12-06T17:16:56+00:00","og_image":[{"width":800,"height":489,"url":"https:\/\/www.nonproliferation.eu\/hcoc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1763126011514.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"Emmanuelle Maitre","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"Emmanuelle Maitre","Est. reading time":"2 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/www.nonproliferation.eu\/hcoc\/webinar-the-shield-and-the-sword-the-impact-of-ballistic-missile-defence-on-missile-proliferation\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.nonproliferation.eu\/hcoc\/webinar-the-shield-and-the-sword-the-impact-of-ballistic-missile-defence-on-missile-proliferation\/"},"author":{"name":"Emmanuelle Maitre","@id":"https:\/\/www.nonproliferation.eu\/hcoc\/#\/schema\/person\/6bb00bbfda2c67ca09695af96b6d8b4e"},"headline":"Webinar &#8211;
