Joint air defense
Russia and the US will build a united air defense system similar to a recently announced Russian-Belarusian air defense network, the head of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) said on Friday.
"The so-called Russian-Belarusian integrated air defense network is just a part of the cooperation within the CSTO," CSTO Secretary General Nikolai Bordyuzha told a news conference in Moscow.
"We are expecting Russia and US to set up a similar joint network," he was quoted by the RIA Novosti news agency as saying.
