 Russia to respond US missile threats
Moscow, 2007/05/07, IRIB
Russia will respond to any threat from America's missile defence system to be deployed in central Europe, the Russian army's chief of staff said on Monday.
"If we see that these installations, which could be set up in Europe, represent a threat, then we will definitely plan actions against them," Yury Baluyevsky told reporters in Moscow, Interfax news agency reported.
Russia will take corresponding measures if American missiles and radar are deployed in Poland and Czech Republic as planned, Baluyevsky was quoted as saying.
Also Monday, the head of Russia's strategic missile forces, Nikolai Solovtsov, threatened an adequate response against American defence system, Interfax said.
"If the US does take the decision... then the strategic rocket forces can take adequate measures to offset the threat that could arise for the Russian Federation," Solovtsov was quoted as saying.
