Russia To Develop Air Defence System To Avert US Threat
The commander of Russia's air force announced that Moscow will develop a new air defence system to avert the threat from US from assumptions that United States will be able to hit any target in Russia from space by 2030.
By this year, there is possibilities that the US already explored & developed offensive weapons from air & space that can make coordinated, high precisioned strikes on a global scale at practically targets on the territory of Russia. This was quoted By Gen. Alexander Zelin.
He did not specify what kind of strike Russia could be threatened with from space or which other countries might pose a threat. Russia is negotiating a new nuclear arms deal with the United States to replace the 1991 Start-1 pact which expires in December - part of an effort by both countries to improve their thorny relationship.
The Bush administration ordered the Pentagon to start researching new anti-missile systems to guard against a launch from North Korea or Iran.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has said a ban on deploying weapons in space was a condition for further arms cuts as were mutual limitations on the creation of ground-based anti-missile systems.
