MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 18th January, 2019) The new US Missile Defense Review prepared by Pentagon opens the way for the deployment of US striking power in space and leads to the revival of the Reagan-era Star Wars program at a higher technological level, the Russian Foreign Ministry said Friday."The provisions stipulating the development of the space segment of the US missile defense network are particularly alarming. Along with the improvement of space-based sensors , the Review actually gives the green light to the prospect of deploying missile defense systems in space designed to hit various types of missiles during the booster stage of the flight," the ministry said in a commentary.
"We would like to urge the US administration to come to its senses and abandon such irresponsible attempts to revive the notorious Reagan-era Star Wars program at a new, higher technological level," the commentary said.
