Here comes Russia, with a rather surprisingly honest admission that they’re trying to build missiles they can bomb us with:
MOSCOW (AP) – Russia’s military is planning to upgrade its missiles to allow them to evade American weapons in space and penetrate any prospective missile shield, a Russian general said Monday.
In comments to the Interfax news agency, Russia’s Strategic Missile Forces chief, Col.-Gen. Nikolai Solovtsov, as saying that Russia’s intercontinental ballistic missiles will be modernized to protect them from space-based components of the U.S. missile defense system.
As Bill points out, such races don’t historically end well for the Ruskies.
