scientists also warn that levels of contamination in the area are higher than those following the church novel catastrophe. and intense dispute between russia and nato over the u.s. planned and missile defense shield in europe is seeing little progress r.t. caught up was dr use of but from the federation of american scientists who believes will take both sides to make the system more. the war of words on missile defense has been calling on for quite some time now between russia and the u.s. with washington saying when a powerful interceptors against a potential attack from some dangerous state they usually name iran or north korea and moscow saying why do you need interceptors for weapons that those rogue states don't have what we do so it's against russia russians new america's missile defense plans as an attempt to preach that very precious parity principle that was said in

the start treaty and now the federation of american scientists come up with a report that looks seemed to russia's concerns and i'm joined by bottom that very thought of ration thank you very much for joining me dr but thank you very much for the so from what i understand russians are not against all interceptors they are against the more advanced and the more capable was 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 is 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 is. the phrase adoptive approach

to missile defense is broken up into two parts the number one and number two where the low. potency interceptors the block one interceptors are online and phases three and four where 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 an 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 out such discussion it is the four stage plan and the two faces of the way. they have a vision the installation of us and so we intercept 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 to 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 them 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 quantity of uncertainties that will cost conscious russian planners to treat them as if they might work and try. it could react by increasing their stockpiles and or blocking teaching of play arms reductions and ways the united states this 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 interceptors 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 there no polite no play 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 and 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 if there is 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 postal of mit 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 were captured 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 defense 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 a 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 of arguable effectiveness could be pushed

forward by this kind of hawkish mentality by the dangling 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 very 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

to 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. plans which the american physical society concluded was a hoax but nonetheless billions of dollars are spent on research he says 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 knocked 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 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 a defense bill authorized there's. 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 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 it's overly expensive and it's very easy to defeat again thank you thank you very much.
