Russian Core BMD Guidelines
Equal and
indivisible
security as crucial
feature of regional
and global
security
Solid linkage
between strategic
offensive and
defensive
weapon systems
Mutual nuclear
deterrence is key
to global security
and stability
FUNDAMENTALS OF ABM TREATY OF 1972
The Treaty had the USSR and the USA committed:
 to limit their Missile Defense systems;
 not to deploy nation-wide Missile Defense system;
 not to deploy Missile Defense to protect selected areas;
 not to create sea-based, air-based, space-based and ground-mobile MD
systems;
 not to engage radars’ capabilities to fight strategic ballistic missiles.

DECLARED PHASES FOR DEPLOYMENT OF US BMD SYSTEM IN EUROPE (NATO BMD)
Phase I(2011)
- deployment of MD
ships with «Standard3» 1А interceptors in
Aegean, Adriatic and
Mediterranean seas.
Protection of South
European States from
shorter range
missiles
PhaseII (2011-2015)
-deployment of MD base
with «Standard-3»
interceptors 1B in
Romania.
Phase III (2015-2018)
-deployment of MD base
with «Standard-3» 2А
interceptors in Poland.
Outfitting deployed MD
shooters with
«Standard-3» 2А
interceptors.
Phase IV (2018-2020)
- outfitting deployed MD
shooters in Europe with
«Standard-3» 2B
interceptors.
Protection of South and
South-East European
States from shorter range
missiles
Protection of
European states from
intermediate range
missiles
Protection of
European states from
ICBMs

RUSSIAN PROPOSALS FOR MUTUALLY ACCEPTIBLE DECISIONS

CRITERIA LIST:
technical performances of BMD components (interceptor’s speed, number of
interceptors, radar range, control system capabilities etc.),
deployment sites,
capabilities for interception of various types of BMs at boost, midcourse and terminal
phases of flight.
joint familiarization with European BMD deployment plans and its implications for the
relevant strategic deterrence capabilities
development of verification measures to assure security of strategic capabilities
legally binding agreements defining mutual obligations of the pertinent
parties to deploy a European BMD system providing equal security to all
participants
RETALIATORY MEASURES OF THE RUSSIAN FEDRATION
to increase defense of fixed launching sites,
to ensure maximal concealment of Strategic Nuclear Force mobile launchers,
to increase readiness of deployed BM platforms,
to increase capabilities of ICBMs in penetrating modern Ballistic Missile Defense,
to decrease the attacking missile launch fixing time,
to increase the numbers of information sources in order to assure target identification
by Russian AD and BMD assets,
to employ effective systems in fighting mobile BMD assets,
to ensure destruction or disruption of opposing BMD infrastructure assets (interceptors
launchers, command & control posts, outer-space detection means).
All said measures will be implemented only as retaliatory steps provided a
threat to the Russian Strategic Nuclear Force from the US and NATO
deployed BMD assets appears to be on the rise. Russian response will be
adequate, economically well-balanced and effective.
