| Subject: Russia: Missiles Allegedly Deployed in Violation of 1987 Treaty Thu Feb 16, 2017 1:44 am | |
| Russia has reportedly deployed fully operational cruise missile units in violation of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces treaty. This 1987 agreement between Russia and the United States bans ground-based nuclear or conventional intermediate-range missiles. (This is defined as systems with a range between 500 and 5,500 kilometers — 300 to 3,400 miles.) In 2014, the administration of former U.S. President Barack Obama condemned Russia's test of a system Washington said violated the treaty. On Feb. 14, the New York Times reported that military units equipped with the system were moved in December to an operational military base in an unspecified location while the other remains at a testing site near Volgograd.
