Никольский на ВИФ давал ссылку на сайт разведки,где лежит это доклад.
Кажется,не црушный,другой. Типа nfsl.org. Доклад этот датируется
декабрем 2000. Залихватское и шапкозакидательское обсуждение молодежью
ВИФа вслед этой ссылке не вдохновляет. Доклад вполне серьезный, кое-что
нарыл

Пока вот вдогонку, из серии " подготовка санитарного кордона"

Американская ПРО в Польше
------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------

Вот такая любопытная статейка - американцы всерьез обсуждают планы
развертывания в Польше начиная с 2006 года "третьего" комплекса
противоракет с целью защиты Европейского континента и Восточного
побережья США от "ограниченной" атаки МБР - разумеется, стороны Северной
Кореи или Ирана :-)) Первые два комплекса в настоящее время сооружаются
на Западном побережье США - в Форт-Грили на Аляске и в Ванденберге в
Калифорнии. Первые противоракеты на Аляске достигнут боевой готовности в
сентябре с.г., а в Калифорнии - к концу года.
Также рассматривается возможность строительства в Гренландии для решения
задач ПРО второй РЛС СПРН, в дополнение к уже находящейся там.


JANE'S DEFENCE WEEKLY - MAY 05, 2004

US assesses interceptor sites in Europe

MICHAEL SIRAK JDW Staff Reporter
Washington, DC

The US is discussing with European allies the possibility of basing
anti-missile interceptors in Europe later this decade to counter
long-range ballistic missiles in countries like Iran and North Korea
that could threaten the European continent and eastern part of the US.
US Air Force Lt Gen Ronald Kadish, who heads the Missile Defense Agency
within the Department of Defense, said his current activities remain
focused on establishing an initial, rudimentary shield by the end of
this year to protect the US homeland from intercontinental-range
missiles.
This defensive system will feature interceptors based at two sites on
the US West Coast, along with satellite sensors and terrestrial-based
radar, that are optimised to protect all 50 US states from a limited
attack from North Korea (JDW 27 August 2003).
At the same time, Gen Kadish revealed that the US is considering
erecting a third interceptor site in Europe beginning in 2006 to protect
the European continent and add redundancy to the capabilities shielding
the US by that time.
"The location of this site is still subject to negotiation with no final
architecture defined nor investment committed until [Fiscal Year] 2006,"
he told US lawmakers on 21 April.
The interceptor site would probably consist of 10 three-stage
ground-based interceptors (GBIs), the anti-missile missile of the
Ground-based Midcourse Defense element that will form the core of the
Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS).
One knowledgeable source told JDW that Poland remains a promising
candidate for the third GBI site. The Polish defence industry has
entered into partnerships with Boeing and Lockheed Martin, two of the
leading US missile defence contractors, and has been supportive of US
policy (JDW 11 February). Polish officials could not be reached for
comment at press time.
At the same time, this source said: "Don't count the Brits out," noting
that there may be more than one GBI base in Europe.
The UK signed a memorandum of agreement with the US in 2003 on BMD
co-operation and granted the US permission to upgrade the latter's
early-warning radar at Fylingdales in northern England to serve in a BMD
role.
Those upgrades are expected to be complete in 2005, giving the US an
enhanced capacity to defend itself against missiles from the Middle
East, even without a GBI site in Europe.
The US is also looking at other measures to improve its umbrella of
protection against missiles approaching the US homeland from the east.
It remains in consultation with Denmark regarding the upgrade of the
early-warning radar at Thule in Greenland. As a potential measure, it
has plans to procure a second sea-based X-band (SBX) radar that could be
stationed near there. Already Raytheon is building one SBX that will be
stationed off the coast of Alaska in 2005.
Gen Kadish told reporters on 28 April that he is confident that the US
will have the BMDS operational around September, although he
acknowledged that the system will not have as many interceptor missiles
and other assets available initially as originally planned.
He said he expects to have five GBIs operational in silos at Fort
Greely, Alaska, around September, with a total of three or four
additional interceptors in place by the end of the calendar year at Fort
Greely and Vandenberg Air Force Base, California.
While the Aegis cruiser-based Standard Missile 3 most probably will not
be available by the end of the year to shoot down short- and
medium-range missiles, several Aegis ships are expected to be ready as
surveillance platforms to track missiles of all ranges.
The delivery of the prototype Airborne Laser aircraft has also been
postponed indefinitely due to developmental delays. The agency had hoped
to have it ready to provide a limited capability to shoot down missiles
in their boost phase. However, engineers are still trying to integrate
the system's megawatt-class laser onto its host 747 platform.
Nonetheless, Gen Kadish said the BMDS that will go online this year will
still be robust enough to make any potential adversary "think more than
twice" before challenging it.
