Washington Announces Testing Forbidden DRSM Missiles

The United States is preparing to test banned DRSMD missiles

The Pentagon intends to test missiles banned by the Treaty on the Elimination of Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles (INF). As reported by the Associated Press, referring to a source in the US Department of Defense, in this case refers to a cruise missile with a range of up to a thousand kilometers, and a ballistic missile, having a range of up to four thousand kilometers. It is specified that the Pentagon intends to test the first rocket in August, the second - in November. There will be no nuclear warheads on the missiles.

The Associated Press emphasizes that if countries manage to agree on compliance with the INF Committee, before they come out of no, missile tests can be canceled.

On March 4, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree that says Moscow is suspending the implementation of the INF. The Russian side is doing “Until the USA removes the violations of obligations under the named agreement committed by them or until its termination”... This presidential decree was a response to similar US actions.

The INF Treaty between the USSR and the United States was signed in 1987. The document prohibits the parties from being armed with ground-based ballistic missiles, as well as cruise missiles with a range of 500 - 5,5 thousand kilometers. Moscow and Washington regularly accuse each other of violating this treaty.
