The United States will not distribute any kind of missile defense in the Black Sea. This was confirmed by the assistant of the Secretary of State for arms control Frank Rose.
"US missile defense is not directed against Russia, we have been saying this for at least 20 years. We are not trying to deny the Russian strategic deterrent even in Poland. The systems in Poland as well as in Romania have been designed to deal with threats coming from outside the Euro-Atlantic region, and they are not directed against Russia. Aegis will be operational by the end of the year. The site in Poland online by 2018 ".
Earlier, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov stated that "the United States needs to demonstrate the need for a missile defense system".
"Launching Russian ballistic missiles against targets in Europe is unthinkable. This could only be done by terrorists who, by definition, are not able to possess such weapons. So I believe the Obama administration is trying to hide the real reason for the missile system in Europe".
The fire system Aegis Ashore installed in Romania it is technically able to detect targets. The anti-missile "Shield" is based on the SM-3 interceptor, tested in Hawaii, last December, in the first "ashore" test. At that moment the kinetic head of the SM-3 hit the ballistic missile in the re-entry phase with a direct impact.
The status of ready to fight of the fire system of the Ballistic Missile Defense System had already been announced, in spite of the Russian "perplexities", as foreseen by the 2 Phase of theEuropean Phased Adaptive Approach. It should be noted that while the fire station could detect targets already now, on the other it could not yet enter service because it was not interfaced with the broader NATO missile defense system.
The Sm-3 Block IB interceptors in Romania should enter service within the next few weeks. The spatial apology has always been a cause of confrontation between Russia and the United States. According to the US the shield aims to defend the allies from possible ballistic threats from Iran and North Korea. Moscow, however, sees in the missile shield positions (interceptors in Romania and Poland) close to its borders as a threat to national security. Russian countermeasures exist and are already in place: in the Kaliningrad region, which borders on Europe, missiles have been deployed Iskander and stratified air defense and detection systems.
The European fire stations of the US Space Shield will be in Poland and Romania. The Mediterranean Sea (as well as the Adriatic and Ionian Sea) represents the fulcrum of the shield's offensive capabilities with constant rotation from the 2011 of missile class cruisers Ticonderoga e Arleigh Burke. The two early warning stations were deployed at the RAF station in Fylingdales and in Turkey. The AN / TPY mobile station (Army Navy / Transportable Radar Surveillance, ed) was deployed at the Kürecik base, in Turkey, in January of the 2012.
