RUSSELS, May 10 (RIA Novosti) - Russia and NATO will conduct joint theater missile defense (TMD) exercises in October of this year, the army chief said Wednesday.
"This is one of the areas where we see concrete results that satisfy both Russia and NATO,"
Chief of the General Staff Yury Baluyevsky told a news conference in Brussels.
Speaking at a session of the Russia-NATO Council last year, Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov stressed the need to boost cooperation between Russia and NATO in the TMD area. He said cruise missile defenses should become part of joint missile defense programs.
