Russia tests secret missile after Nato shield launched

The test came days after Nato activated its new missile shield in Europe. The alliance announced the new ballistic missile defence system had reached "interim operational capability". Moscow has accused Nato of seeking to undermine its nuclear deterrent but the alliance says its shield is aimed at potential rogue states like Iran.

I'm confident if a Russian/Chinese Missile Shield was set up in the Pacific and possibly Cuba, you bet the U.S in defiance would test launch some missiles to prove they can deter any anti-ballistic missile shield. For sure.

dont poke the bear. those things have teeth and claws. I would find it completely justifiable for russia to destroy these peace destroying "defense shields". Who do we think we are fooling?
