Russian Air Force Prepared to Strike Foreign Bases Pre-emptively
Moscow News | December 3 2004
The Russian Air Force is prepared to strike
foreign bases it suspects of serving terrorists, the force’s commander
in chief has announced.
“We have all the manpower and equipment we need to
cope with the mission if we get such an order,” the Russian Information
Agency Novosti quoted the Air Force commander-in-chief, General Vladimir Mikhailov,
as saying.
If need be the Air Force is ready to use up its entire arsenals
to destroy terrorists, said Mikhailov, who was visiting the Engels air base
on the Volga for an awards ceremony Friday.
Russia’s President Vladimir
Putin has warned in the past that Russia would strike terrorist bases pre-emptively
if necessary.
