U.S.-Russia: Mistrust Could Hamper Missile Defense Cooperation, Russian General Says Lingering mistrust between the United States and Russia could jeopardize the two countries’ efforts to cooperate on missile defense development, Russian Deputy Chief of Staff Gen. Yuri Baluyevsky said today (see GSN, July 16). Baluyevsky said there was concern over the U.S. decision to upgrade radar stations located in Greenland (see GSN, March 6) and the United Kingdom as part of missile defense efforts (see GSN, Feb. 6). Those stations would be ineffective in tracking a ballistic missile launched from the Middle East or North Korea, he said. “That means that the theorists and pragmatists in Washington fear that the threat is coming from Russia — for example in the form of an unsanctioned rocket launch,” Baluyevsky said (Agence France-Presse, July 28).
