[QUOTE="tonyexpress, post: 601964, member: 1940"] Guys, help me understand how Russia would be happy if we're still going to have a defense system...?? Is it strictly the location that they're concerned about? Originally (according to the media)we were going to have a radar site in the Czech Republic and 10 missile interceptors in Poland to counter the threat of Iran. Now we're going to have: The new system will have "hundreds" of missile interceptors, said Gen. James Cartwright, deputy chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Pentagon's point man on the issue. It also will have mobile radars, including some in space, "that can move to wherever the threat actually emanates and wherever we feel we need to defend ourselves," Cartwright said. He contrasted the new sensor technology with the radar systems envisioned in the old plan, which he called "basically left over from the Cold War."
