In the US, announced the development of a missile that does not comply with the INF Treaty

“Without participating in the contract, we look at where we can first of all find opportunities ... We are following the path of the missile program,” RIA Novosti quoted McCarthy as saying.

He noted that the deployment of a ballistic warhead on a light hypersonic missile goes beyond the limits of the INF Treaty.

“We are considering such opportunities,” McCarthy added.

Previously, the Pentagon spokesman, Lt. Col. Robert Carver, spoke out about the deployment of non-nuclear ground-based cruise missiles that were prohibited by the Treaty on the Elimination of Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles (INF Treaty).
