Moscow will take all necessary response measures if the United States implements its plans to test the SM-3 Block IIA interceptor missile against intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM), the Russian Foreign Ministry said Friday. "These plans cannot but cause concern as the threat becomes a reality," the ministry said in a statement. The ministry went on to note that Russia will have to take this into account and "take the necessary measures, including those of a technical nature."

The group also stressed that US discussions with Russia and China should foreswear destabilising steps like pursuing space-based interceptors and testing the SM-3 Block IIA against ICBMs. Source: RIA Novosti
