 CNS - A Grand NMD Game: The Challenge Of New Russian Initiatives
Russian President Vladimir Putin dramatically proposed on 6 June 2000 that the United States, Russia, and NATO jointly establish a pan-European non-strategic missile defense system.[1] This new initiative, announced during Putin's visit to Rome, stands in stark contrast to the rather uneventful US-Russian summit in Moscow just a few days earlier.
A number of rather subtle, but nevertheless telling elements in the new Russian approach suggest that the thrust is different: it may represent an attempt to accelerate a rapprochement with NATO and maybe ultimately Russian integration into Euro-Atlantic structures.
Until Russian proposals are accepted, they will not go into effect, and if they are rejected, Russia can always say, "we did what we could," and then lay the blame for whatever actions it takes in response at the other side's doorstep.

The head of the Russian research institute said that initially the plasma generator disrupted the work of on-board electronic systems and prevented radio communication with ground control, but the problems have been solved and the system has already passed tests set by a Russian governmental commission.
Koroteyev added that the new technology can be used on any aircraft, including older models and that it is radically cheaper than the technology employed by U.S. stealth planes while being just as effective, if not more so.
He said that the aircraft equipped with the Russian system will also be far superior to U.S. models in their flight and combat capabilities "as the use of the plasma screen makes it unnecessary to alter the shape of the aircraft."
