Russia Says New Missile Will Beat Any U.S. Defenses

By Tom Miles

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia has developed ballistic missile technology that can outwit any defensive system, a top Russian general said on Thursday, in a clear challenge to the United States' planned $50 billion anti-missile shield.

The declaration came a day after President Vladimir Putin, eyeing nationalist votes for elections next month, promised to equip his armed forces with a new generation of long-range weapons matching those of the United States.

First Deputy Chief of Staff Colonel-General Yury Baluyevsky said that during large-scale military exercises on Wednesday, Russia had test-launched a missile system that could maneuver in mid-flight, allowing it to dodge defenses.

"The test carried out yesterday confirmed that we can build weapons which will render any anti-missile system defenseless against an attack by Russia's strategic forces," he told a news conference.

Two cows have been discovered with a form of BSE that looks very different from the usual kind, Italian scientists have reported.

It resembles one form of the human prion disease, sporadic CJD, raising the possibility that this human disease is acquired from cattle. Unlike vCJD, which is caused by eating BSE-infected beef, sporadic CJD is thought to occur spontaneously.
