Moscow: Russia will deploy, if necessary, offensive weaponry in the
southern and western parts of the country to target elements of
the US-backed European missile shield, President Dmitry Medvedev
said Wednesday.
Medvedev outlined a series of possible "appropriate measures"
against the US interceptor missiles and radars being deployed in
Europe if missile defence talks between Moscow and Washington
resulted in failure.
"If the measures listed [in the statement] not be sufficient,
Russia will deploy in the west and the south of the country
advanced offensive weapons systems, which will target the European
component of the [US] missile defence network," Medvedev said.
