The missile defense system will be installed on both sea and ground platforms about AEGIS ASHORE ("Ijis"), including on the territory of Romania, Poland, as well as Japan, which is concerned about the DPRK missile and nuclear program.
A successful anti -canor test took place a few days after the statement of President Donald Trump that America is leaving the contract on medium and short -range missiles. It was concluded in 1987 between the United States and the USSR, whose successor was Russia. The document forbade the parties to have and develop ground -based missiles with a flight range from 500 to 5.5 thousand kilometers. Washington accused Moscow of violating this agreement and announced plans to develop systems that are designed to become a symmetrical response to missile developments, which is allegedly conducted by Russia.
