Commonwealth of Independent States to form regional air defense systems
Jul 14, 2010 at 15:34 | Interfax-Ukraine"Much effort is being put forth to form a regional air defense system of Belarus and Russia in the Eastern European collective-security region, and work has begun to create similar systems in the Caucasus and the Central Asian collective security regions," Drik said.
The joint air defense system of the CIS "performs early warning functions and also the functions of repelling a possible aggression," he said.
The practice of military cooperation in air defense "has demonstrated that the CIS joint air defense system must be further developed," Drik said.
