The United States may refuse anti-missile missiles for ICBMs

The United States may refuse anti-missile missiles for ICBMsCongressional sources say the United States may stop developing advanced missiles for missile defense systems that could pose a threat to Russia's intercontinental ballistic missiles.

Significant budget cuts may cause a complete cessation of the Pentagon’s SM-3 2В interceptor program. It was planned that they will be equipped with a global US missile defense system and its European component.

According to the available data, the reduction in expenditures on missile defense is caused by new intelligence data, which caused the US administration to review its priorities in creating a missile defense system. Now more emphasis will be placed on creating protection against regional missile threats to the detriment of protection against ICBMs.

The SM-3 2B interceptor is capable of shooting down both tactical missiles and the latest types of intercontinental missiles.

According to the Pentagon’s plan, these interceptors were to replace the SM-3 1A and SM-3 IB. The latter were planned to be placed in the European component of the system in the initial stages of creating a global missile defense system.

In Europe, the first improved anti-missiles were to appear by 2018. All the old missiles, which are capable of shooting down only tactical ballistic missiles, were planned to be replaced by the 2020 year.

To date, the Pentagon has also completely stopped the purchase of GMD antimissiles, used to protect the country. These intercontinental ballistic missile interceptors are currently located only in California and Alaska. Plans to increase the number of GMD, as well as their placement in other parts of the country, the US administration does not have.

          And that's right, but there's also a fourth thing - they just don't exist.

          Obama's main weapon - SM-3 missiles - cheaper than Bush's
          - Critics: Obama's project will cost more in the future
          - Russia will offer the US an alternative to missile defense in the near future

          in February 2008, when one such missile was launched from a US Navy cruiser in the Pacific Ocean and was hit by an emergency reconnaissance satellite located at an altitude of 247 kilometers. Many analysts then concluded that the United States thus tested the capabilities of the SM-3 as an interceptor missile. At the Boston Missile Defense Conference, Republican Congressman Michael Turner stated that newest version SM-3 "does not exist", and the administration has to announce to Congress its plans to pay for it

            Most weapons are not reported to politicians in the US... and here they stopped reporting when they realized that the leadership is against the people. And you can't judge based on the words of a government official. There is a taboo in the US on disclosing weapons. This even applies to weapons and military operations since World War I.

      Most likely, the elections on the nose and Obama as a peaceful president have nothing to do with another acute situation and the opportunity to fulfill his campaign promise to reduce public debt, when a new president arrives, everything is likely to change and work to continue.

          China was refused when China asked for ports in exchange for the debt... Having formulated the answer Ports and shipping companies are the country's security, we cannot give them back. Wherever China dug, there was always the same excuse, they gave it several TNCs that were potentially dead and forgave a couple of stolen developments. I think China's belly button will come undone)

      Comparison of ratings is on. The new US president, who will come to power as a result of the November elections, should change his tone and begin to conduct a respectful dialogue with Russia as an equal US power.
      This was stated on Monday by the famous American political scientist, professor at New York University Stephen Cohen. “We need a president who will now speak with Russia from Washington, not as a winner, speaking with a defeated country, but speak with Russia as an equal power, because Russia is such,” Cohen said.
      According to the political scientist, "the American president should speak respectfully with Russia, not lecture on democracy in Russia and not use double standards."
      “We say that we are going to bring Ukraine into NATO, but when the Russians resist this, we say that they behave imperially. We tell Russia that they must sell their energy at market prices, but when they try to set market prices for Ukraine, the Baltic states or the former Soviet republic of Georgia, we say that they use their energy as a club. These are double standards and this should stop, ”Cohen said.
      At the same time, he emphasized that the United States itself essentially resorted to “imperial” actions when it imposed on countries such as Poland and the Czech Republic its own missile defense system and “started some kind of negotiations” about this with Lithuania, despite the prevailing sentiment among the population of these countries. “This hardly makes the US an example of democratic foreign policy. This makes us look like an empire, ”he said.
      According to Cohen, in order to normalize the situation in relations between the United States and the Russian Federation, official Washington “should only do two things” that Russia will respond to and this will lead to the strengthening of its own US security. “We must work out a new way of talking with Russia - new diplomacy, and we must stop the expansion of NATO before it reaches Ukraine,” the political scientist emphasized.
      Cohen also said that he was very regrettable that at the moment, none of the leaders of the current presidential race in the US saw the need to change the tone in the dialogue with Russia - neither Democrat Barack Obama, nor Republican John McCain.

    What would that mean? The reason for this move was new intelligence data ...
    Interesting, however.
    If the point began to play, then they realized that the Russian bear was too tough for them. It may nevertheless break the ridge. A wounded beast is a terrible beast. It’s more expensive to tease. Things go too far. This is already dangerous.
    If you started a game, then we will wait for the data of our intelligence.
    Thirdly, this step is an exchange for ... well, for example, our air defense systems for Syria.
    If this is bargaining, then we will find out by Russia's refusal to supply S -300 to Syria.
    Soon everything will become clear, I hope.

    Here's the news. They will simply replace the SM-3 2B missiles with more advanced ones or with lasers, a railgun ..................... but what difference does it make. Now we will talk about peace-loving bases ..............
