The missiles were banned under a now-scrapped treaty with the United States.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has called for resuming production in Russia of intermediate-range missiles that were banned under a now-scrapped treaty with the United States.
“We need to start production of these strike systems and then, based on the actual situation, make decisions about where – if necessary to ensure our safety – to place them,” Mr Putin said at a meeting of Russia’s national security council. Since the treaty was scrapped, the US has tested missiles that would have been banned by the INF treaty.
It is set to expire in 2026, and the lack of dialogue on anchoring a successor deal has worried arms control advocates.
