Russia has planned to double its testing of inter-continental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and the number of test launches is slated to double in 2009 to 2010.
VLASIKHA (Moscow Region), December 17 (RIA Novosti) - Russia will double its test launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles after 2009, the Strategic Missiles Forces (SMF) commander said on Monday.
“The number of launches will almost double after 2009 or 2010,” Colonel General Nikolai Solovtsov told a news conference.
There are a lot of folks out there in denial about the geopolitical intentions of the Kremlin, since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1990. I would like to see comments on this: What material differences do you see between the Soviet Union and contemporary Russia in the geopolitical arena?
The only material difference I can detect is the Kremlin is ensuring they will not be toppled economically, as they were in the 1980’s.
