“Until the end of 2019, the United States plans to test two new medium-range ground-based missiles: a cruise missile with a range of more than 1 thousand km and another with a range of more than 3 thousand km. In addition, shock unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can be classified as short and medium range striking aids, ”he said in an interview with Krasnaya Zvezda.

According to Karakaev, American UAVs can be equipped with nuclear ammunition.

Earlier, the head of the Pentagon, Mark Esper, said that the first test of a ballistic missile, which had previously been banned by the INF Treaty, was successful.
