Military Measure Taken by Russia Supported

KCNA

    Pyongyang, December 2 (KCNA) -- Frokopenko, military attache of the Russian embassy here, called a press conference on Nov. 20 at which he introduced in detail the results of the meeting held at the Russian Ministry of Defence as regards the military principle of Russia and the document of the ministry "The immediate tasks for the development of armed forces of the Russian Federation". Referring to the issue of the nuclear deterrent, in particular, the document clearly stated that Russia can use nuclear weapons as actual means to check the U.S. attempt to lower the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons.
    In this regard Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary says that the measure taken by Russia is a very just one in the light of the present international situation and from the viewpoint of holding in check the imperialists' hegemonic and unilateral policies and hard line and defending the security and interests of the country.
    It continues:
    Nobody can criticize Russia for opting to increase its national defence capability, especially its strategic armed forces, under the situation where the U.S. is pursuing a new military confrontation after listing Russia as a target of its nuclear attack.
    Brisk in Russia is the work to beef up the armed forces of the federation as evidenced by the modernization of the strategic rocket force and the process of equipping its navy with new type weaponry.
    Thanks to these efforts fresh changes are taking place in the military field of Russia and the military and technical level and combat capabilities of its armed forces getting boosted.
    This is in line with the desire and interests of the Russian people and helpful to ensuring global peace and security.
