    The larger issue here IS NOT much touted (or, rather, marketed) missile "defense" shield--that is not an insurmountable problem at all and, shield or no shield, all necessary targets will be destroyed in case of conflict. The problem here is different--Russia is worried about the use of launchers for very different, other than anti-ballistic, missiles. We are talking about the first strike weapons, which are medium and short range missiles. These are not "defensive" weapons. These are first-strike weapons.

    Putin's quote from Russian President's site:

    this is an obvious violation of the Short And Medium Range Missile Treaty, since these missile-launchers which will be deployed at the sites in Romania and Poland upon activation of the Radars there could easily be reconfigured for short and medium range missiles. This reconfiguration of the launchers could be done in a very short time and for us it will be impossible to see what is going on there. We will not be able to control (used as "monitor" semantics) it and this is an additional threat to us.

    Exactly... he pointed out the main problem. Because ICBMs are most vulnerable in the initial phase after start trying to reach space. If ABM system have enough range it could intercept such missile very easily... however if Russians would launch these from central Siberia there is no way ABM can intercept them so easily. However if these sites are reconfigured for short and medium range ballistic missiles - thats a totally differrent story as to their strategic value as first strike weapons.

    INF treaty is important to Russia since Russia does not think merely in terms of MIC's profits but really does care about her safety.

    INF holds Russia back actually. While US is blatantly backtracking on the agreements with these missile defense systems (so called), Russia actually is put in a tough position since its counter measures either have to be massive in range which is just very costly and unproductive and or very short range and has to be quite close to the system. Without INF, Russia could just simply expand the ground based launch systems of Kalibr and even expand it to supersonic for striking ground targets, and creating a multi launch system for it and poof! there goes any advantage US had. They already placed cruise missiles and or nuclear missiles in Europe, so all it will do is force US to spend even greater amount to put more systems in Europe and Russia just continues to expand itself without having to break the piggy bank.

    Russia can produce massive amounts of cruise missiles with the stated range of 500km with its fuel tank almost at low point enabling them to increase its range momentarely.

    That is what it will have to do till US decides to go that one extra mile that will cause downfall of INF. I am hoping they will be able to come up with a system that can launch more than two of them though per vehicle.

    This is why Russia needs to create a world issue against United States. To give an Ultimatum
    that they either remove their missiles launchers capable to be used offensively against Russia in Romania or else that Russia will withraw from the Nuclear treaty with Americans and start deploying hundreds of long range kalibers missiles in Kalingrad ,Cuba , but also deploy nuclear long range missiles in IRAN too ,armed with nuclear warheads. But also start deploying nuclear missiles in Space , so that Russia can strike any part of US just withing 5 minutes with a nuclear warhead. Only When they feel a pressure ,that something really bad could happen to their security ,they will back down and retreat .

    But if Mr Putin does nothing ,and just limit to just complain and be so sorry ,and just allow Americans to continue moving lethal missiles ,Air defenses on its borders  ,the last one can be used to attack Putin presidential plane for example. (yes they can do that and later blame it on a happy trigger general),it will seriously damage the national security of Russia territory. and it could even encourage Americans to give it a try ,to a massive first nuclear preventive attack at the first major conflict between them .

    There is a serious issue with the map projection there... if you actually showed it in 3D the path of the missile would pretty much follow a line almost directly between Iran and the supposed target of germany which would mean the radar and systems in Poland are not there for missiles from Iran, but are intended to look into Russian air space.

    Russia to respond if Norway joins European missile shield - envoy

    "Therefore, there will be no peaceful Arctic anymore," Russian Ambassador to Norway Teimuraz Ramishvili said

    OSLO, March 19. /TASS/. Oslo should understand that its possible move to join the NATO European missile shield will not be left unanswered by its neighbor Russia, Russian Ambassador to Norway Teimuraz Ramishvili said in an interview with Norway’s state-run NRK TV channel.

    "In this case we will have to make military-level technical decisions needed to neutralize the effect of the possible creation of a missile shield element. Naturally, it will trigger a vigorous reaction in Norway, which will claim that Russia poses a military threat to the country," he said in an NRK interview aired late Saturday.

    "Norway has to understand that after becoming an outpost of NATO, it will have to face head-on Russia and the Russian military might," Ramishvili said, adding that the move "will become a new factor that will be included in our strategic planning as an additional problem in the Arctic Region."

    "Therefore, there will be no peaceful Arctic anymore," he added.

    In a comment to TASS, Ramishvili said that Moscow had to express its views on the issue in public, because the Norwegian side is unwilling to communicate on the problem.

    "We have to talk about this in public recently due to the lask of the negotiation process and the Norwegian side’s reluctance to discuss their concerns with the neighbors. For this reason, the embassy tries to attract the public and politicians' attention to the problem in an attempt to prevent the arms race from spreading to the Arctic region," he said.

    In 2015, Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg expressed her country’s readiness as a NATO founding member to make a contribution in the creation of the European missile shield. Norway and US defense experts were to submit their recommendations on the issue to the Norwegian government by the end of 2017.

    The Royal Norwegian Navy currently has in service five modern Fridtjof Nansen-class frigates, equipped with Lockheed Martin's AEGIS combat system, that can be modernized to be incorporated into the European missile shield system.

    The Globus II, a radar station located on the Vardo island near the Russian border, and another radar that the US plans to deploy there by 2020, can also be turned into elements of the European missile shield. Norwegian defense officials, however, dismissed this possibility.

    Russia must deploy fast delivery nuclear missiles to within 500 km range of these "shield" sites. This way they will become instantly
    irrelevant once WWIII starts. This must be done to send these f*cktards the message. They think they can corner Russia by
    surrounding it with strategic destabilization elements. That Russia is too useless and weak to respond. They must know that
    nuclear warheads will reach them in under 5 minutes.

    They already have the greatest anti ABM system available - Iskander missiles.

    It doesn't fly a standard ballistic path thus it becomes very hard for the ABM system to calculate its position at every given moment for the ABM to make a direct hit. Quasi-Ballistic path is one of the smartest inventions for such missiles. And we know how effective current US ABM systems are (not very) so it becomes even far greater in capabilities. Only thing they need to do, is increase the numbers of it.

    The only other system that I like that I wish Russia invests in or produces their own alternative is the Belorussian Polonez MLRS system. 200KM is long range. If Russia produces one of equivalent or longer range, with high degree of accuracy, then a salvo launch becomes impossible for ABM systems to counter. Guaranteed systems like Iskander and Polonez are significantly cheaper than any ABM system and their intended missiles.

    As well, anti Radiation cruise missiles may be another big step too. Once the radar systems are neutralized, the ABM systems are more or less useless. And in case of a war (if Russia has to go to war with NATO), then first strike at the ABM system's radar installations is the mandatory thing to do to neutralize the systems. Of course they could buddy off of other systems like satellites and maybe ship based radar (I don't know exactly) but I doubt it will even be close to as effective.

    TL;DR - More Iskanders, Anti Radiation missiles and long range MLRS systems to counter ABM sites. As well, increase # of nuclear missiles in order to nullify ABM sites entirely.

    PS

    Maybe leaving INF treaty isn't a bad idea for Russia. It will guarantee Iskander's ranges could increase drastically.

    Frankly nato is rather silly for pushing the Kremlin's buttons when it is very unready to deal with kaliningrad alone. Nato will probably use the threat from srbm in kaliningrad alone to push up mic spending and pr.

    There is a very expensive alternative to solve the issue. Cuba will take 15-25B in aid every year. In return Russia can forward deploy Borei's in Havana's (it's in the north, don't recall well) submarine base specifically made for this purpose. Denied of course. Once S-500s are ready to go - deploy them there as well. You see the drug threat and their overpasses of Cuban air space are a major international concern for peace.

    I don't see the embargo being dropped in another 8 years least but the Cubans won't do it for cheap - they're not stupid. That money will also preoccupy the U.S with Latin America again since Cuba is the only geopolitical chess player in the region (besides the U.S of course). The time is ticking in forging strong tries with the new generation who, sadly, like the new Russian generations, are becoming more "westernized". Russia could afford it if it had an economy double its current size.

    russia US missile shield aims to cover sudden nuclear strike against Russia – General Staff“. The presence of US missile defense bases in Europe, missile defense vessels in seas and oceans close to Russia creates a powerful covert strike component for conducting a sudden nuclear missile strike against the Russian Federation. Applying sudden disarming strikes targeting Russian or Chinese strategic nuclear forces significantly increases the efficiency of the US missile defense system,” Poznikhir added. What are the options Russia possesses ??https://www.rt.com/news/386276-us-missile-shield-russia-strike/

    The development of scramjet powered anti ship and land attack cruise missiles suggests it will be Russia that will be able to rapidly attack its enemies to blunt any first strike attack fairly quickly...

    So apparently:

    "Kinzhal" anti-ship​ missile, air launched (MiG-31) Mach 10 speed, 2000km range

    Nuclear powered (yes, powered) cruise missile, unlimited range

    Sarmat already tested, 200ton overall mass

    Nuclear powered cruise missiles Khruhschev would be proud.

    Does anyoene else get the impression that Russia will leave START once they have all thier new missiles ready for production?

    That one is still in concept phase however Kinzhal is more than ready to go.

    I wonder if Kinzhal can fit into those Granit launch tubes? Can anyone clarify?

    With these things in play they won't need to.

    I have doubts about the feectiveness of 1500-2000 nuclear weapos effectiveness at gauranteeing natos complete destruction.

    Also I believe Russia should implament a plolicy of complete anahilation of all life on the planet should Russias existance be threatened.

    That way the is no possibility for anyone to use a proxy,terrorist orginazation or rebellion to attack Russia and avoid retaliation.
