Russia Warns of ‘Technical Response’ to NATO Missile Plans

"We would be forced to deliver a technical response, which I don

From RIA Novosti:  Russia may deliver a "technical response" to NATO over its plans to deploy a European missile defense program, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said on Thursday.

"The Russian response [to European missile defense] is currently mostly virtual, political and diplomatic in character, but under certain circumstances we would be forced to deliver a technical response, which I don’t think you’ll like," Rogozin said at a meeting with NATO’s parliamentary assembly in Moscow. Rogozin holds special responsibility for Russia’s defense industry and until December 2011 served as Russia’s ambassador to NATO.  (photo: Alexey Druszinin/RIA Novosti)
