Ukraine: Kiev Arranges to Destroy Bombers, Cruise Missiles Ukraine plans to dispose of 30 strategic bombers and more than 200 cruise missiles within the next 2 1/2 years, Interfax reported yesterday (see GSN, July 16). The U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency and the Ration Technical Service Company signed a contract last month on the disposal project, said Ihor Mityayev, head of the center responsible for implementing arms disposal treaties. Under the contract, about 30 Tu-22 bombers and more than 200 Kh-22 cruise missiles will be destroyed, he said. “After the disposal, the hardware will be used as metal scrap and earnings will be [spent] on welfare payments for the military,” Mityayev said (Interfax/BBC Monitoring, Aug. 5).
