Protest against the new «star wars» came from Moscow at a time when the United States formally announced its withdrawal from the INF Treaty (eliminating missiles and medium-range). The Pentagon has described the creation in Russia of complex 9М729 confirmation of a breach of this agreement by the Russian side. The United States will suspend performance of the contract, signed in 1987, the year Reagan and Gorbachev, 2 Feb 2019 If within 6 months the Kremlin will not go forward, the U.S. will be released from the contract completely.
Nevertheless, Moscow did not consider itself involved in the destruction of RIAC and the claims about the danger of sliding into the arms race. «I would like to remind you that it is this logic that originally was the basis of a large-scale race in nuclear weapons and missiles, has repeatedly led the world to the brink of disaster. Despite intense political and diplomatic effort over several decades, its effects are still not fully resolved. Now, it seems that American leadership has once again decided «to step on the same rake» — and with the same predictable consequences,» — said the Agency Sergey Lavrov, although if you remember the consequences of past, disastrous they were mostly to Moscow.
However, «the desire to replicate» in recent years, claiming it was from Moscow. Vladimir Putin has announced the creation of sverhdorogimi, including in last year’s address to the Federal Assembly — a hypersonic rocket with a nuclear engine, etc. In December, the Russian media actively spread information about successful tests of the system «Poseidon» in Khabarovsk. This is supposedly underwater shock ultra silent drone with nuclear power and nuclear torpedoes.
Of course, today’s «star wars» can be just as mythical, just as last, but the Russian foreign Ministry is right in saying that it is possible to splurge…
