[World News]: MUNICH, Germany, : Russia plans to build new strategic nuclear missile bases that will be the most advanced in the world, its defense minister said Sunday.
"We are developing new missile bases (that were) previously referred to by President Vladimir Putin. We have every reason to say that Russia will (then) have missile bases that no other country in the world possesses," Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov told a press conference in Munich where he was attending an international conference on security policy.
Ivanov refused to give any details of the new bases, but he said they would be completed in the near future. The weapons systems that would be deployed at the new bases "will allow Russia to protect its sovereignty from all existing and possible threats," he said.
