Russia to build system to detect missile launches
Moscow: Russia will create a space-based ballistic missile warning system capable of detecting launches of inter-continental and tactical missiles, Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said Thursday. ”Creation of the unified space system is one of the key directions for.Russian nuclear deterrent forces,” Shoigu said in a teleconference with senior ministry officials. All equipment and software used in those satellites have been produced in Russia, the minister said, adding that the system will replace Soviet-made ballistic missile early warning systems. To keep up its containment potential, Russia needed to rearm its strategic and long-haul air forces and complete the establishment of airspace defence, especially the first strike nuclear weaponry, Putin said.
