At his annual news conference Thursday, Feb. 1, Putin said: “Our experts don’t believe Washington’s claims that the proposed sites are intended to counter missile threats to Europe from Iran.” Tehran’s missiles, he argued, are not capable of reaching Europe. Russia’s reaction, said Putin, would be “asymmetrical but highly efficient.”
Russia’s newest Topol-M intercontinental ballistic missiles, said the president, are capable of penetrating missile defenses. The next-generation missiles will be capable of changing the altitude and direction of their flight on their way to target. “Missile defense systems are helpless against that,” Putin asserted. In answer to questions, the Russian president refused to name his successor when his second term is up next year. The news conference was attended by 1,200 journalists.
