Missile Systems and War-Era Treaty

i m: I'm saying this clearly and openly Russia will be forced to deploy weapons that can be used against the decision-making centers behind the missile systems that threaten us, Putin said, according to The Japan Times. The United States and Russia raised fears of a new arms race earlier this year when they announced they were pulling out of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces INF treaty, a 1987 deal that limited medium-range missiles. In the speech, he also reached out to Russians with promises of improved living conditions. ; The longtime leader warned Washington against deploying any new missiles in Europe following the collapse of a key Cold War-era treaty, saying Moscow would consider it a serious threat. Washington was the first to announce its withdrawal, accusing Moscow of developing new weapons that violated the treaty, but Putin on Wednesday dismissed the U.S. claims as far-fetched. They included the development of the Zircon missile, with a range of more than 1,000 km 600 miles testing of the Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile, the deployment this spring of the Poseidon underwater drone system and the recent start of production of Avangard hypersonic glide vehicles. Putin also reeled off a list of weapons programs that he said would give Russia a military edge over the United States. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
