Russia ready for “asymmetrical” response to US NMD in Europe
Russia will have to find an “asymmetrical” response to maintain strategic stability if U.S. missile defence elements are deployed in Czech Republic and Poland, Chairman of the State Duma Committee for CIS Affairs and Relations with Compatriots Andrei Kokoshin said.
“Representatives of the Russian top military command have rightfully pointed out that the deployment of a radar station in the Czech Republic will increase the surveillance of strategic deterrence forces in northern Russia, where a considerable part of submarines with ballistic missiles are stationed,” Kokoshin said in an interview with the military daily Krasnaya Zvezda published on Saturday."
Note EU-Digest: One can only wonder what the US would do if Russia placed a missile and radar defence network on the US-Mexican or Canadian-US border under the same pretext?
