If the United States withdraws from the Treaty on the Elimination of Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles (INF), our country can respond to this by creating ultra-long-range cruise missiles.. Therefore, Washington should think again before declaring an agreement. This opinion was expressed by the president of the Academy of Geopolitical Problems Konstantin Sivkov. "It is necessary to create on the basis of the Kh-101 / X-102 rocket missiles of extra-long range and deploy them in the amount of approximately 400-500 missiles. This will create a threat to the continent of the USA.. These missiles will be inexpensive, they are relatively small in size, "quotes the words of the military expert RIA Novosti. For our country, this would be a win-win option, since at present the United States "does not have a sufficiently effective anti-aircraft defense system that would allow these missiles to be neutralized". Such an answer, according to Sivkov, will be a complete surprise for Americans.. They themselves think there that if the agreement is broken, Moscow will act in the same way as Washington, that is, it will begin to actively create medium-range missiles, which today are prohibited by the treaty. In this case, in the affected area will be Europe, and in North America. In order for the consequences of the actions of the Donald Trump administration to affect not the Europeans, but the Americans, it is necessary to develop ultra-long-range missiles that can be accurately targeted at a distance of 10-12 thousand. kilometers. This will keep the United States at bay.. In response to a US initiative in the Kremlin, it was reported that with such a development of events our country would be forced to restore the balance in the field of armaments.. "The President has repeatedly said that scrapping the provisions of the INF Treaty forces Russia to take measures to ensure its own security.

Because it means that the US is directly developing these systems.. If these systems are being developed, then Russian actions are needed to restore the balance in this area, "Dmitry Peskov, press secretary to the head of state, told the Moscow-speaking radio station. At the same time, he noted that it would be necessary in advance “to take de jure actions to withdraw from this treaty”, which should meet the semiannual period. This question will be worked out in the course of a quick meeting between Vladimir Putin and the special representative of the US president.. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov urged to refrain from hasty statements and gave the initiative in this matter to the Americans. "Now, guessing in the coffee grounds is probably not very productive.

We will wait for official explanations from our American colleagues ", - the diplomat RT quotes. US President Donald Trump said that the US does not intend to abide by the DDSM, since Moscow allegedly violates it, therefore his country will withdraw from the treaty and will develop missile weapons. On the danger of breaking the Treaty on the Elimination of Short-Range and Medium-Range Missiles, concluded in 1987. , the leaders of France and Japan have already spoken. Neither Europe nor Asia has a clear suggestion of the White House.
