Five naive questions after Dmitry Medvedev's speech on missile defense

The questions of “KP” are answered by a senior researcher at the International Institute of Military-Political Problems, Doctor of Military Sciences, retired colonel Alexander ZAITSEV:

1. Is this an adequate response from Russia to the deployment of a US missile defense system in Europe?

- This is still the minimum that we can afford, so as not to further escalate the situation. I would regard Medvedev’s statement as a serious signal for the United States, which obviously does not take too much into account Russia's concern in this matter. Yes, compromises are hard to find. But they must be sought! Otherwise, we will again go to the trenches of the Cold War.

2. Is this the beginning of a new arms race?

- No, I do not think so. Simply, Russia will be forced to seek adequate measures to counter the US missile defense. And she, by the way, has long found these measures. We have systems that can overcome any missile defense. I am referring to new missile systems that are capable of maneuvering in height and course and which "do not take" radar and US computers. We already have such systems. They just have to do a little more.

3. Does this threaten our "reset" with America?

- Of course, even those small positive results achieved in recent years in the field of reduction of nuclear and conventional weapons, in this situation, can come to naught. The United States just the other day announced almost the withdrawal from the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE). Plus, they refused to give written guarantees that their missile defense was not aimed at Russia. And this is a very serious sign that the American missile defense is still aimed at us. And the United States clearly intends to use its potential against Russia. You cannot leave all this without an adequate reaction from Moscow. Which did Medvedev.

4. Will this ruin our country?

- I think no. Because in our plans it was previously determined that approximately 25% of the military budget (and the new state armament program until 2020), or every fourth ruble, should be spent on missile weapons. This is the right priority. We have such money in the treasury. Our economy is capable of such a "missile burden."

5. What reaction should be expected from Medvedev from Europe?

- The reaction will probably be different. For in Europe there are different countries. There are those who are members of NATO and are allies of the United States. They will, of course, now react as Washington wants. There are “cautious” states that do not want a new Cold War and will certainly call on the Kremlin and the White House to seek a compromise. I think that there will be such states that will take a stand-by position. But in any case, the active development of the US missile defense in the vast expanses of Europe militarizes it and turns it into a military facility aimed at Russia. You can’t ignore this. So Medvedev sent a clear enough signal to Europe.

What is START-3?

The offensive arms reduction treaty — START-3 — was the continuation of a series of similar agreements that began back in 1972 between the USSR and the USA. Many of their provisions are still being observed - for example, the ban on the withdrawal of nuclear weapons into space. But on the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of warheads and their delivery vehicles, there was a tough debate at every negotiation.

The current treaty entered into force on February 5 this year. It implies re-equipment of strategic bombers, mutual inspections, exchange of data on missile test launches, regulates the number of nuclear warheads and their carriers on both sides. The agreement, designed for 10 years, provides for a mutual reduction of nuclear warheads of Russia and the United States to 1,550 units, ballistic missiles (of all types) - to 700 units.

Prepared by Nikita KRASNIKOV.

Verbatim

“The set of measures that were voiced by the president is exhaustive. It includes everything that is necessary for guaranteed overcoming of missile defense if its focus is on Russian nuclear forces.

We do not need a "reboot" with America, but new software. You can not restart forever old software, it's time to develop new ones. And so that it takes into account mutual interests.

Russia will not allow any arms race. "All measures announced by the president are largely asymmetric, economical, and all are taken into account in the state armament program."
