Russia promises retaliation if weapons deployed in space

Thursday 27th September,2007

MOSCOW, September 27 (RIA Novosti)
Russia is ready to take appropriate measures if weapons are
deployed in space, the commander of the Russian Space
Forces said. "Should any country deploy weapons in space,
then the laws of armed warfare are such that retaliatory
weapons are certain to appear," Col. Gen. Vladimir Popovkin
said. He said Russia and China have drafted an internation-
al declaration on the non-deployment of weapons in space
and sent it to the UN.
"A sizable war could break out," the commander said.
"We do not want to fight in space, and we do not want to call
the shots there either, but we will not permit any other coun-
try to do so," he said.

Popovkin also said that Russia has an integrated missile attack warning system, cover-
ing the country's entire territory.

Russia steps up bomber exercises near Alaska and Canada

ANCHORAGE, Alaska
Russian warplane exercises around Alaska have become routine in the past few
months, U.S. military officials said Monday, as the former Cold War superpower
steps up flights from its Arctic bases. "They used to have them from time to time, but

not nearly in this frequency," Herritage said.
"These exercises used to be more common during
the Cold War."
…The exercises come amid troubled relations
between Russia and the West and are seen
by some as intimidating moves by an increasingly
assertive Russia. …President Vladimir Putin an-
nounced in August that Russia was resuming long
-range bomber flights over the Pacific, Atlantic
and Arctic oceans for the first time since the
breakup of the Soviet Union.
The Tupolev Tu-22M "Backfire" Bomber is a supersonic, swing-wing, long-range
strategic and maritime strike bomber developed by the Soviet Union.
