Russia threatens missile shield sites

10.09.2008

RUSSIA could point its inter-continental ballistic missiles at US missile defence sites in central Europe, the head of strategic missile forces said today.

"I can`t exclude that if such decisions are taken by our military-political leadership, the missile shield in Poland and the Czech Republic and other such objects could be chosen as designated targets for some of our inter-continental ballistic missiles,`` General Nikolai Solovtsov was quoted by Russian news agencies as saying.
