Russia to adequately respond to U.S. MDS radar station deployment in Caucasus
The possible deployment of American MDS (Missile Defense System) radar station in the Caucasus will not harm Russia's defensive capacity, Commander-in-Chief of Russian Air Forces Vladimir Mikhaylov stated commenting on American MDA (Missile Defense Agency) head Henry Obering's statement that "The U.S. would like to deploy a radar station somewhere in Caucasus."
"Let them deploy. After all, it's their problem. Unfortunately they are speaking about deploying American MDS components in such countries like Ukraine and a number of other countries, including the CIS countries. Russia has everything necessary to adequately respond to those deployments," the General said.
In his opinion, Russian C-400 systems provide security, including in the context of air- space defense. The Commander-in-Chief of Russian Air Forces clarified that the range of C-400 zenith-missiles exceeds 400 kilometers and provides solutions for air-space defense tasks, RIA "Novosti" reports.
