Putin Proposes Anti-Missile Shield With EU, NATO

Missiles would be also located in support of the system as has been mentioned. One not only has to stop missiles but also respond. That aspect is being forgotten.

Further, it is believed that the Russian apprehension is that it will herald the GPALS or Global Protection Against Limited Nuclear Strikes.

It is, to the Russians, an 'unfriendly' act since it also changes the balance of power since it gives added advantage to the West.
