-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! Russia successfully tests anti-missile system SPECIAL TO WORLD TRIBUNE.COM Friday, November 5, 1999 MOSCOW -- Russia has test-fired a short-range interceptor missile meant to be employed in the country's anti-missile defense system. Officials said the test in Kazakhstan marked the first successful launch of the missile since 1993 and was superior to earlier models. The Interfax news agency quoted Col. Gen. Vladimir Yakovlev, commander of the Strategic Rocket Forces, as saying that the missile was ready for deployment and would be used if the United States withdraws from the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty. The United States wants to amend the ABM treaty to allow for the establishment of a national missile defense system. Russia has opposed any changes and Russian President Boris Yeltsin has sent President Bill Clinton a warning of "extremely dangerous consequences" if the United States proceeded with its anti-missile plans. "It is not known yet who will suffer worse if any of the parties withdraws from the 1972 ABM treaty,'' Yakovlev said. The colonel said Russia would deploy another of intercontinental Topol-M ballistic missiles by Dec. 17. The missile is to to replace six types strategic rockets before 2010.
