Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | Putin: Hamas must change: "Putin boasts of defence-piercing missiles
Associated Press
Tuesday January 31, 2006
The Russian president, Vladimir Putin, boasted today that his country had weapons capable of penetrating any missile defence system.
In language reminiscent of the cold war arms race, Mr Putin said: 'Last year Russia tested missiles systems that no one in the world has and won't have for a long time.'
He added: 'These missile systems don't represent a response to a missile defence system, but they are immune to that. They are hypersonic and capable of changing their flight path.'"
