U.S.-Russia Joint BMD Exercises Underway in Moscow

April 12, 2005 :: RIA-Novosti :: News

Between April 12 and April 23, joint short-range or theater ballistic missile defense exercises are taking place in Moscow, part of a collaborative effort between NATO and Russia. This exercise is the fourth in a continuing series.
        Itar Tass quotes Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov as saying, “the aim of these exercises is to create an efficient system of antimissile defense on the territory of ‘greater Europe’, which would cover all critical facilities and missile-prone routes.” Ivanov added that the exercises would continue. The 4th Central Research Institute of the Ministry in Moscow is hosting the joint theater-wide command-post exercise (CPX). “The exercise is focused on crafting co-ordination techniques for use by non-strategic air defense and ballistic missile defense units in providing BMD coverage of a third country during a coalition operation under the aegis of international organizations,” according to a release by the Russian Defense Ministry. (Article)
