RUSSIAN ANALYSTS NOW CALM ABOUT U.S. NMD STATEMENTS. An unsigned article in "Nezavisimoe Voennoe Obozrenie," No. 9, said Russian military and security analysts have concluded that Moscow should react calmly to American statements about NMD because the U.S. is not going to be in a position to build it in the near future. But an article in "Kontinent," No. 11, warned that over the next five years, the Russian side is scheduled to decommission up to 80 percent of its older missile systems, even though it has not made much progress in building a new missile system.
