U.S. in Missile Defense Talks with Czechs, Poles

July 13, 2004 :: London Guardian :: News

The United States continues talks with both Poland and the Czech Republic, for the countries to possibly host a European-based group of missile defense interceptors and radars, reports the London Guardian. The base could be wholly extraterritorial, and some 100km square. Similar talks have been underway with Hungary, Bulgaria, and Romania, but are not believed to be as developed. The Guardian notes that Russia would likely be opposed to having missile defense interceptors so near its own territory, thus potentially weakening its offensive nuclear arsenal against the United States. The interceptors would be quite useful, however, against missile strikes from Iran against either the United States or Europe itself.
        A European base would likely station the same Ground Based Interceptors to be deployed in Alaska and California in the coming months.  (Article)
