a report that looks seem to russia's concerns and i'm joined by bottom of that very thought of ration thank you very much for joining me dr but thank you very much for that so from what i understand russians are not against all interceptors they are against the more advanced and the more capable wise could you expand on that well we started the study a couple of months ago to look into the technical side of what might be behind russia's concerns so there's not a tip in the west has been that russia is ideologically opposed to middle missile defense so that they're more concerned with the bases in poland and romania but we wanted to see if there's something besides that they feel perhaps poland and romania are. both influence but we wanted to see if there's actual technical concerns and what we what we found. the phrase adoptive approach to missile defense was broken up into two parts the number one and number two were

the low. potency interceptors the blocked one interceptors are online and phrases three and four were the higher speed interceptors will be brought online and our analysis shows if the system is reconfigured a little bit that it will have some ability against russian i.c.b.m. so there is some. jim a concern from from the russian side as to the technical ability in principle of the system being able to intercept russian i.c.b.m. i'd like to explain to the viewers have about the missile defense plan that we are talking about and that is now for discussion it is the four stage plan the two faces of wage they have a vision the installation of us and so we interceptors have a lower capability the last two phases of more capability and it is the last two phases that the russians and mean that we've poured you argued that the u.s. doesn't really need the last two phases could you expand on that in fact. it's sort

of a paradox because. even neither of the first phases nor the second phases would really have an ability against rogue state i.c.b.m.'s anybody who can make. ballistic missiles can also put decoys on the missiles to overcome the differences you can put for instance inflatable balloons that appear to the radar sensors into the. imaging sensors on the intercept vehicle as warhead so you overwhelm the system so it's easy to defeat the system and you won't be getting anything extra by going to the higher potency interceptors the block two interceptors which are due to come online after twenty eighteen so neither the first two phases nor the second two phases will have much inherent ability. against. the rogue state threat i want to add to what you're saying and i read an excerpt

from the report and it says the decision to proceed with basis three and four of the p eight and that's the plan will result in an apparent paradox it says defenses that will provide little or no actual combat effectiveness but with technical and quantify uncertainties that will cause. russian planners to treat them as if they might work and try. it could react by increasing their stockpiles and or by ending or blocking teaching u.k. arms reductions and ways the united states in turn will have far ranging implications for global security so the report in the report you make two very important points that the effectiveness of the interceptor say is arguable from a scientific point of view and b. that this could push the russians and possibly the chinese to try and restore some kind of balance by arming themselves more of these things that those arguments can be could be discarded by decision makers in washington well apparently they have already. it's sort of

a puzzle because the system itself has never actually been tested under realistic conditions so it's never actually been you know for instance a salvo of missiles that incorporate countermeasures and decoys it's never really been tested against that the timing of the tests has always been known to the intercepting so the intercept team knows exactly the trajectory that the. that the missile is incoming on and they know the exact timing so of course in the case of north korea or iran that will not be the case furthermore most seriously perhaps the most of the system is based on ships now these ships have never been tested in rough weather in fact when. the u.s. a one ninety three satellite was being intercepted a few years back it was called off for a couple of days because the weather was too rough for the for the cruisers so this is a known weakness in the system. but you know from the planners side they have to see

perhaps there will be some technological surprise in the future maybe they'll be many more interceptors maybe they'll be a different administration so from the military planners in china and russia they have to pretend or plan for the worst pretend like the system works where is it can be easily overcome and has never been realistically. russians have been quite persistent in forgiveness and in saying ok if it's not against us let's do it together let's build a defense shield together in europe but response that. the response that they get is always a no no no you know they are told yes we will cooperate but not on equal terms what do you make of it well. you know i think it's in some ways it's a natural response because. it's hard to get full cooperation when russia is not officially part of nato but i would say even both in the

u.s. and in russia the people asking for cooperation before you do that the most important thing is to make sure the system works you know you don't want to cooperate on something that can easily be defeated by iran or north korea it's important to understand that these intercepts of the missile occur in space so there's no air resistance there so you can spread out any kind of balloons shards of metal and all of these things travel with the warhead in space because there's no resistance so you're. can deceive the defenses very simply so i would say before all the political people asking for cooperation. go too far this should be a study of whether this system can in fact work in real combat conditions not in a very rigged test as it's been conducted today but still you know you see in the

report you touch upon that technical aspect for russia's concerns but from what i've been covering him from what i understand the more important part of precious frustration over america's missile defense plan is that to say yes to cooperation on equal terms and. do you think. that should be part of the discussion. surely it should be part of the discussion and it should but you know there's a priority first you get a system that works and then you cooperate on it so. i think there's a time for cooperation but before that perhaps we can get maybe make it work together yeah exactly so we could get the technical people in russia together with the technical people in the us and we can all brainstorm on ideas but but that's not happening so you know there's various people have proposed different systems that might work. for my team my colleague has proposed

a drone base system so you'd have drones circling around north korea for instance and this wouldn't be a threat to russia of course because it's located around north korea and when they see a missile being launched they will catch it before it releases its warhead and space then they could home in on the hot exhaust coming out of the. boosting missile it's called the boost phase difference but apparently it's not been picked up by the pentagon and it's not being studied by anybody else so i think we need to get the technical people to cooperate once it's good system is there then we can get the political people perhaps to cooperate talks about there is an opinion that there is this hawkish mentality that flourished under the bush administration pushing for more defense spending and many say it continues under obama do you think that a costly missile defense program arguable effectiveness could be pushed forward by this kind of hawkish mentality rather than doing security threats. i

mean surely there is inertia in the system when the bush plan was first discarded by president obama when he came into power there was a lot of hope that the new system would be more agreeable to the russians but now that we have actual number. if you look at the congressional research service reports it would be four hundred forty interceptors based on forty three ships now these are mobile platforms and that is part of the problem so instead of being less of a concern going from the bush administration to the obama administration the. this has raised all sorts of red flags in. the new system. there's something interesting i've read. the house defense bill and it funds and mandated the administration to conduct a study on the technical and operational feasibility of space based interceptors

that's from one of the papers here space based interceptors that sounds an awful lot like reagan's. space shuttle plans which the american physical society concluded was a hoax but nonetheless billions of dollars were spent on research he thinks that the current myself defense program also could turn into a hole where money goes and disappears despite what the scientists are saying well space based defense has been proven to be not a feasible idea because you would need so many interceptors and these would be in orbit now people have an idea that things are stationary in orbit they're not in low earth orbit they're moving very fast so they're not over any one region for very long and the consequence of that is that you need many many many interceptors and for instance a whole you can create a hole in the defenses by just shooting a prior missile to get the local interceptors to intercept

one and then for the future you have a big hole in your defense that you can. that you can use to send a missile through so scientists know that why are they spending money on it i think as far as i know there is not actually money being spent right now on developing it but there is the defense still authorized that there's. being the concept they're not actually building it as far as i know at the moment but it's definitely proven proven to be a non feasible idea and it's not just the american physical society various officers technical officers of the air force and u.s. air force have also looked into it and shown that it's overly expensive and it's very easy to defeat again thank you thank you very much.
