Russians Seek Missile Defense Shield

[HoleInTheVoid]

Russia is to build new space and missile defence shields and put its armed forces on permanent combat alert, President Medvedev announced yesterday.

In a sharp escalation of military rhetoric, Mr Medvedev ordered a wholesale renovation of Russia’s nuclear deterrence and told military chiefs to draw up plans to reorganise the armed forces by December.

He said that Russia must modernise its nuclear defences within eight years, including the creation of a “system of air and space defence”.

2. Unlike their US sychophants the Russians seem to think the technology is feasible.

Watching "progressives" get gored by their own sacred cows is always fun.
