| United States and other western countries showed concern about the new Russian ballistic missile which is to be used for intercontinental targets and can penetrate any current or future defence system, as reported by high military officials. "The missile development was top secret matter," said First Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov, "and now we can look into our future with confidence and security." The test launch of the missile successfully terminated the target located at over 3,400 miles away. Mr. Ivanov is a former Russian minister of defence and is seen my many politicians as a likely successor of Vladimir Putin in the next Russian presidential elections in 2008. This development and launch of the next generation missile is seen as a step in adding political capital for the next year's election. Despite western concerns about growing tensions with Russia - US relationship, Ivanov said that the missiles will mainly be used for short range to medium range targets and border defence, even though this ballistic missile is capable of reaching targets on other continents in a matter of minutes, and can easily make a flight around the globe. |
