The United States and Russia, “the first phase of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty” in the early hours of December 5 failure, due to the time difference between Russia as early as eight hours in the United States bid farewell to the treaty. According to Russian News Agency reported December 9, although in some “technical issues” there are still differences between the two countries have expressed a new version of most provisions of the Treaty had been negotiated, is expected in mid-signature.
Remaining “technical issues” unresolved
The two presidents had earlier said it would work in the old treaty expired before the conclusion of the New Testament, but because of the differences too much, this goal did not materialize. But the Russian Foreign Ministry stressed that the two countries signed 18 years ago, the first phase of the treaty has been a very good performance for the second phase of the treaty has laid a solid foundation.
Russia to reduce the nuclear threat, first deputy director of the National Center accept the “Krasnaya Zvezda” the general said, in 1991, the United States has 2246 sets of vehicles, 10563 warheads, Russia (Soviet Union) party has 2288 sets of vehicles, and 8757 warheads; now, the United States, 1195 sets of vehicles and 5573 warheads, Russia has 811 sets of vehicles and 3906 warheads.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement said US-Russian nuclear arms control, the New Testament has been basically resolved, “most likely” in the middle of this month the signing of the Czech capital, Prague. U.S. State Department spokesman Kerry, also 9, said that the treaty will be signed during the year, at present only “technical issues” remained unresolved.
U.S. experts no longer “the number of missiles”
As for where there are differences, both sides have not explained. The two delegations in Geneva closed-door negotiations rarely heard the message. Analysis that the number of nuclear warheads removed, cut down to whether the destruction of warheads and other issues, the Russian-US strategic missile production to monitor the position of differences also may exist.
Russia’s “Independent Military Review” article said that, in accordance with the first phase of the treaty, the United States to send experts to Russia’s major strategic missile manufacturer – is located in Beijing Wudemuer plant monitoring, Moscow will be sent to the United States Utah missile production base in the state to fulfill the corresponding responsibilities. However, eight years ago, the United States stop production of strategic missiles, forcing Russia to withdraw its own domestic surveillance mission. In which Russia plants continue to produce their own “Topol” series of missiles, the U.S. inspectors have been working there, so that Russia was very unfair.
December 5, the first phase of invalidity of a treaty, the United States had lost the Ombudsman to continue to plant right to work, they would immediately leave Russia. Russian media said the Americans finally stop in the Russian territory, “the number of missiles,” the. It is reported that the U.S. has no intention to retain the New Testament the terms of the presence of observers, to be replaced by other measures.
Mobile missile is still a focus of controversy
In accordance with Russian experts estimate that the restrictions on the mobile missile problem is also an important reason why the two countries have been unable to agree on. Under the first phase of the treaty, Russia gave up rides on special trains, the viability of very strong RT-23 rail-mobile strategic missiles. In the new treaty negotiation process, the U.S. called for further increasing the restrictions on the mobile missile, the Russian side of this to be rejected.
Taking into account the Kremlin at the just-released State of the Union in the emphasis on the status of land-based strategic missiles, the Russian news agency that this mainly refers to the equipment on the heavy-duty trucks on the “Topol” missile, Russia on this issue did not intend to continue to compromise. The article also believes that in the future deployment, Russia does not rule out re-enabled by way of a train carrying strategic missiles.
In the sea-based cruise missiles there are also differences between the two countries. In 1991, the U.S. missiles in which the number of the Soviet Union to maintain a 2:1 superiority, the Soviet Union want to limit their number, the two sides failed to Tan Long. In the new treaty, Russia is still hope that this matter of restrictions on high-precision cruise missile has a great reliance on the United States is certainly unwilling to accept such a clause.
If it is true, as the two sides said the new treaty to be signed, then the United States and Russia on nuclear arms control between the work can be said to be a smooth baton. As for the specific contents of the agreement, the global media were waiting.
