MOSCOW - President Vladimir Putin on Thursday inspected Russia's top-of-the line intercontinental ballistic missiles, hailing their ability to penetrate prospective missile defenses.
Putin flew by helicopter to a forested area near Teikovo, a small town about 150 miles northeast of Moscow, to visit a unit of newly deployed Topol-M missiles mounted on mobile launchers. After watching the new missiles, Putin said their deployment was a "serious step forward in strengthening Russia's defense capability." "It has a stronger survivability, faster launch and an ability to penetrate any prospective missile defense," Putin said of the new weapon in televised remarks http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061214/ap_on_...russia_missiles |
