Cold War 2.0: Russia tests fires new intercontinental ballistic missile

Posted on May 23, 2012 by The Extinction Protocol

May 23, 2012 – MOSCOW – Russia test-fired a ballistic missile Wednesday, a move that comes amid tensions about a recent NATO announcement that it placed an interim missile defense shield in Europe. The intercontinental missile was launched Wednesday morning from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northwestern Russia, the state-run RIA Novosti news agency reported. “The new intercontinental ballistic missile is intended to strengthen the capabilities of Russia’s Strategic Missile Forces, including its capabilities for overcoming anti-missile defenses,” Defense Ministry spokesman Vadim Koval told RIA Novosti. The launch comes days after NATO’s chief said the alliance now has an interim ballistic missile defense capability in Europe. Among the interim capabilities are missile interceptors loaded on a U.S. ship in the Mediterranean, the first of four anticipated warships with the defense system. A defense radar is also operational in Turkey. The interim system will link the allies’ missile defense systems — satellites, ships, radars and interceptors — under NATO control from a U.S. base in Ramstein, Germany. NATO has asked Russia to participate in the system, but negotiations have been deadlocked over Russia’s demand for a legally binding treaty guaranteeing the shield would not be used as a deterrent to Moscow’s own systems. Late last year, then-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev threatened to withdraw from the START treaty on nuclear weapons reductions and deploy ballistic missiles in its enclave of Kaliningrad on its border with Europe, if NATO moved ahead with the plans for missile defense. Tensions further increased in December, when Russia’s ambassador to NATO suggested that Moscow would close transit routes that send vital supplies to troops in Afghanistan. -CNN

I think that most people don’t realize just how close we all are to WWIII.

If things are so tense, why in the world are we welcoming troops to train here in Colorado at Ft. Carson? I’m sure the whole thing was set up before things got extra tense, but why continue the training exercise with troops on US soil if we’re so concerned about this? Something’s amiss.

Asking a Foe to do troop exchanges is nothing new, in the late 1930s Germany had troops in UK and UK had troops in Germany, always seems to go on just before World War’s break out, as a person said on here people dont seem to understand just how close WW3 is today.

Hmm. The Russians showing off a new toy(it is not really a toy) and it is a mobile launcher. I bet it has a single warhead. As large as the land mass of Russia is, they can hide these anywhere and take them to a preset launch point(s) to shoot. No way the us could respond to this unless it was a laser shot from an obital satellite I suppose.

Hm! Note that this intercontinental missile(that means it can shoot from Russia to USA or to Europe) HAS THE CAPABILITIES TO OVERCOME ANTI-MISSILE DEFENSES.
How so? Will it carry its own anti-missile missiles? Will it carry radar jamming equipment?
Or will it have the ability to sense and evade in coming missiles? Which to me means the warhead section could have either have small thruster maneuver rockets or a small propulsion unit.
The Russians are upset about the NATO missile defense shield.
Interesting………….

Excuse me buff24seven; who was at war in Aghanistan just before the USA ? Though the Berlin wall was torn down it did not stop Russia from using strong arm tacticts with other Eastern Europe nations and they are very involved with the Syrian violence currently happening.

    Well, for starters, they moved troops into syria, they have ships stationed there, and now they are moving weapons to them.
