National security/ Missile defense has long been a sore point
U.S. missile defense “cannot stop” Russia's nuclear weapons, a top
minister said, in an apparent reversal of Moscow's policy of slamming
U.S. anti-ballistic missile capability as a dire threat to Russian security.
Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, who overseas Russia's
military-industrial complex, boasted of unspecified breakthroughs in Russian
military technology during a talk show on the state-run Rossiya 1 television
channel on Sunday night.
“We will not disclose those technical details to anybody,” Rogozin said,
according to comments quoted by Interfax news agency. “But I can tell you one
thing: The work conducted today on combat missile technologies … shows that
neither the current, nor even the projected American missile defense system
could stop or cast doubt on Russia's strategic missile potential.”
