Rússia: Putin anuncia criação de sistemas de armas nucleares únicos no mundo
   

Moscovo, 17 Nov (Lusa) - A Rússia irá munir-se dentro de pouco tempo de novos sistemas de armas nucleares que "não existem e não existirão nos próximos anos nas outras potências", afirmou hoje o presidente russo, Vladimir Putin, citado pela Interfax.

"Não fazemos mais do que proceder a investigações e a experiências dos mais modernos sistemas de mísseis nucleares. Estou convencido que nos próximos anos eles farão parte dos nossos equipamentos", disse o presidente russo, sem dar muitos pormenores.

"Mais ainda, tratam-se de sistemas que não existem e não existirão nos próximos anos nas outras potências nucleares", garantiu Putin durante uma reunião de quadros dirigentes das forças armadas russas.

O chefe de Estado russo considerou também que "o terrorismo internacional é, certamente, uma das principais ameaças actuais" mas sublinhou que a Rússia não pode descurar o seu arsenal nuclear.

"Sabemos que basta diminuirmos a nossa atenção em relação a estas componentes da nossa defesa, como o escudo nuclear, para que nos vejamos confrontados com outras ameaças", frisou.

"Por isso continuaremos a fortalecer de forma consequente as nossas Forças armadas, incluindo a sua componente nuclear", assegurou o chefe do Kremlin.

O ministro da Defesa russo, Serguei Ivanov, anunciou que em 2005 as forças armadas russas serão apetrechadas com "quatro novos mísseis estratégicos, nove aparelhos espaciais (que não especificou se são satélites ou qualquer outro tipo de plataforma) e cinco foguetes lançadores".

É lógico que o facto dos EUA passarem a ser a única "superpotência" mundial nunca caiu bem dentro do pensamento russo...soviéticos ou não, a Rússia sempre se considerou uma grande potência...

E se calhar até é melhor voltarmos á "guerra fria"...pelo menos os "cowboys" pensam 2 vezes antes de invadir outros países... :roll:  :wink:

Putin: Russia Developing New Kind of Nuclear Missile  
 
 
(Source: Voice of America news; issued 17 November 2004)
 
 
 MOSCOW --- Russian President Vladimir Putin says his country is developing a new type of nuclear missile.  
President Putin says research is underway on developing new nuclear missiles as part of the effort to improve Russia's armed forces.  
 
Speaking at a meeting of senior military leaders, Mr. Putin said international terrorism is one of the major threats facing Russia. But he added the country cannot ignore nuclear threats and the need to develop new missiles.  
 
President Putin said the new systems will be unlike any that other nuclear powers have. He said they will be deployed 'in the future,' but did not say when. The Russian leader did not provide any further details.  
 
But Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov said recently that Russia plans to test-fire a new version of its light-weight ballistic Topol-M missile soon. The Topols have a range of about 6000 miles and reportedly can be maneuvered to avoid detection.  
 
Russia is also reported to be developing another heavy nuclear missile.  
 
President Putin has repeatedly promised to build up Russia's military power, which went into decline after the collapse of the Soviet Union due to financial problems.  
 
Defense Analyst Ivan Safranchuk at the Center for Defense Information in Moscow says while terrorism has long driven Russian defense policy, now Mr. Putin is responding to those who are concerned about nuclear threats.  
 
"The nuclear lobby here in Russia found its way to the president's ear," he noted. "Then he had to introduce the suggestions of the nuclear lobby in some way."  
 
Mr. Safranchuk says he does not think Mr. Putin was sending any direct warning to other countries, especially the United States.  
 
But the speech does come just a few days before Mr. Putin is due to meet with President Bush at the Asian Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting in Chile. (ends)

US Not Alarmed by Russian Development of Nuclear Missile
 
 
(Source: Voice of America; issued Nov. 17, 2004)
 
 
 The Bush administration says it is not alarmed by Russia's announcement it is developing a new nuclear missile. Russian President Vladimir Putin says the program is part of efforts to improve Russia's armed forces.  
 
U.S. officials are not expressing any surprise or alarm over President Putin's decision to develop new nuclear missiles.  
 
State Department spokesman Adam Ereli says the Russian plans fall within the framework of the Moscow Treaty, which calls for the mutual reduction in strategic offensive weapons.  
 
"So we do not perceive Russia's nuclear sustainment and modernization activities as threatening," he said. "And, what they are doing are fully consistent with our mutual obligations under the Moscow treaty."  
 
Pentagon officials say they are not alarmed either and will wait to see what is actually developed.  
 
President Putin told a meeting of senior military leaders that Russia cannot ignore international terrorist threats or the need to develop new defenses.  
 
"We will continue to build our armed forces and its nuclear components," Mr. Putin said. "They should be put into service in the next few years. He added the new missiles would be unlike any used by other nuclear powers." He did not provide details.  
 
Mr. Putin's speech comes a few days before the Russian leader's meeting with President Bush in Chile during the Asian Pacific Economic Cooperation conference.  
 
Victor Kremenyuk is Deputy Director of the Institute of USA and Canada Studies in Moscow. He says the new missiles do not pose a threat to the United States.  
 
"First of all I think that this is something which should be trusted because, yes, the Russians have the possibility to develop new types of weaponry in the strategic area," he noted.  
 
Mr. Putin's plans are seen as part of his effort to rebuild Russia's military might, which deteriorated after the collapse of the Soviet Union.  
 
Russia's defense minister has talked recently of plans to test-fire a new version of its light-weight ballistic Topol-M missile soon. Russia is also reported to be developing a new generation of heavy nuclear missiles that could carry up to 10 nuclear warheads.
