A consultant to the head of Russia's Strategic Rocket
Forces has said that a simulated anti-missile test by the U.S.
was not aimed at stopping a North Korean threat as Washington
had claimed.
Colonel-general Viktor Yesin said last Friday’s test had
China and Russia in mind.
He said: “To avoid agitating public opinion, U.S. Missile
Defense Agency officials say the test was aimed at intercepting
North Korean and Iranian rockets. But we missile specialists understand
that it was in fact aimed at stopping Russian and Chinese intercontinental
missiles.”
During the test last Friday an interceptor rocket was launched
from California to knock down a missile launched from Alaska.

America spends some $US 10 billion a year on an anti-missile
network claiming it's necessary to counteract growing threats
from ‘rogue nations’ such as North Korea and Iran.
