| #2 Compare RIAN > RUSSIA's top military Commnader argued that any US anti-missle/BMD-GMD launch from Europe may provoke a Russian intercontinental ballistic missle strike from Russ strategic forces. Cdr also claims that, unfortunately, his counterparts at the US Pentagon still see direct military confrontation vv Russia as relevant, and that US GMD in Czech-Poland is A DESTABILIZING FACTOR for Europe and is aimed at improving/altering the security situation in Central Europe to Russ detriment, NOT as agz any threat from "rogue states/regimes". ALSO, DEBKA > ISRAEL's ARROW system is capable of successfully targeting, destroying any LR Iranian missle from inside Iran shortly after latter's launch??? |
