WASHINGTON, May 19 (UPI) -- A group of U.S. and Russian scientists say a proposed missile defense shield deployed in Central Europe would be ineffective.
The stated goal of the United States in pushing for an anti-missile missile system in Poland and the Czech Republic is to protect Europe against nuclear attacks from Iran or other "rogue states." But a joint analysis by top U.S. and Russian scientists has concluded the system as proposed wouldn't be able to do that, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.
