The head of the US European command, General Curtis, Scaparrotti said that the us military currently has no plan to prevent the creation of Russia's nuclear missiles intermediate-range missiles after the INF Treaty, which will happen in 5 months.



Scaperotti said on Tuesday the U.S. Senate Committee on armed forces, since, as Washington came out of the INF Treaty on 2 February, the United States and its allies continue to consider possible options.

the General said, Scaparotti.

He Also said that the United States should consider drawing up a new Treaty with Russia, which could set limits and to ensure stability, because Russia is equal in strength opponent, which is constantly being improved and is challenging the United States.

However, in the opinion of Scaparotti, Moscow is challenging Washington not only in the nuclear field. Russia has signed an agreement with Turkey for the supply of anti-ballistic missile systems C-400, calling it the wrath and irritation of the US, which regard such actions as an attack on a NATO member. The head of the US European command, said that Washington needs to refrain from the supply of the fifth generation fighter F-35 to Turkey as long as Ankara buys a missile defense system from Russia.

1 February, the US withdrew from the INF Treaty, accusing Russia of violating the agreement. Moscow responded to the allegations also formally suspended participation in the Treaty, accusing in turn, Washington in violation of the INF Treaty. Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that if the United States will deploy in Europe a new nuclear missile, Russia will be forced to retaliate.
