ABANDONING A STRATEGIC MISSILE SYSTEM FOR A MORE CONVENIENT AND PERFORMANT MISSILE SYSTEM
Journal Title: Impact Strategic - Year 2009, Vol 32, Issue 3
Abstract
In our opinion, the event with the most important strategic impact of the year is the US abandon, a very wise one, of the missile shield system, in its previous version, the defence against long range missiles and the passing to a new one, more fl exible and faster, aiming short and medium range missiles. This option seems not to be connected with the current fi nancial crisis, although the dramatic clash of some strong American banks and the rather complicated economical problems have imposed the renouncement on many programs for modernizing and replacement the older weapon systems – especially in USAF and US Navy – and less expensive and less offensive solutions.
