a similar radar station has already been built in turkey. the czech republic remaining are hungry and cold a ready to allow nato as missile defense complexes to be placed on their territory . and there were many a forward based american military presence which means the deployment of bases in post is so. republics notably in central asia is an element of us. as a powerful ramified infrastructure any military base has the capacity to deploy units of agents supplying electronic intelligence. russia has taken adequate measures to counter such actions but unlike nato it confines its activities to its own territory a radar station is being put on combat duty in the kaliningrad region russia's western. systems are being deployed in the country's west and so they could hit any target within a radius of up to five hundred kilometers. what is most important is that the russian ballistic missiles are being gradually equipped with warheads capable of overcoming nature's missile defense system. and. this lift carries people down to a secret radar statio

i think the real reason the radar. they want to build the radar is because the bush administration is trying to establish a fact on the ground that would be difficult for the czech republic to reverse and difficult for president obama to reverse because once you have a big piece of hardware base activities around it it becomes extremely difficult both physically and politically to remove it so the objective here is to commit the czech republic and the next american president to a missile defense system that has no chance of working and as it has astoundingly you're responsible as this argument sounds i'll be happy to give you other examples of this kind of behavior on the part of the bush administration. theme. rings are obama you know. the government fell and now the radar no to bases. no to the radar as long as. this. was the cause. there was right. there were three. right or struck her. barak obama's speech was crystal clear. the missile defense project is not over going to shoot i threw things. but it'll work becau

range of the radar. if the object is very small radar cross section and you can typically expect an unsophisticated war head to be a hundredth of a square meter, then they have shorter range than what people are claiming. and i would like to point out that it's not hard to make the radar cross-section thousands of square meters at x band. this is one of the grave problems that x band radars have. you can easily make a war head stealthy. now, this department of defense report again the department of defense report that the deputy secretary asked for also made an amazing statement. it said something i have been saying for ten years. what i have been saying for ten years if you have the suitcases out there and you're just inspecting them with your eyes, you can't tell whether or not that's a bomb in them by just inspecting them with your eyes. you have to sniff them. open up the suitcase and look around. then you might fail, but certainly you're not able to identify which suitcase has a bomb by simply looki
