Russia to apply ECM to offset U.S. missile shield threat

      RBC, 05.11.2008, Moscow 15:56:01.Electronic counter measures (ECM) will be applied from the Kaliningrad region in Russia against any new elements of the U.S. missile defense system, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev asserted in his annual address to parliament on Wednesday. He added that an Iskander missile system would also be deployed in the Kaliningrad region to offset any possible threats from the U.S. missile shield.

      In the same vein, Medvedev pointed out that Russia wanted to counteract common threats in cooperation with other states. He said Russia had an integration framework as part of the Union State and EurAsEC. Moreover, Russia aims to step up its efforts to deepen and expand interaction in the military and political spheres as part of the OSCE, as well. A productive dialog in this relation has already taken place at a summit in Moscow, Medvedev stressed.
