Russia to start building unified air and space defense system in 2011 - General Staff
12:30 14/12/2010 MOSCOW, December 14 (RIA Novosti) - Russia is planning to build the basis for a unified air and space defense base in 2011 to protect the country from missiles, the chief of the Russian General Staff said on Tuesday.
"The state needs a shield to protect it against attacks from ballistic, medium-range and cruise missiles," Gen. Nikolai Makarov said.
Last week Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said the country's space and air defense systems should be unified before December 2011.
