FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda 
A Russian presidential aide has told reporters that Russia has no plans to launch a new arms race, but will nevertheless react to all new threats.
“Russia is trying to react to new threats, nothing more than
this. We are not entering an arms race, we are against any arms
race as it would weaken our opportunities in the economic
sphere,” Yuri Ushakov was quoted as saying by RIA Novosti.
“We are in general against this,” he said. “I think that our
president has made very precise statements on this matter.”
Ushakov’s comments came soon after President Vladimir Putin told
Russia’s top brass that military forces will get 40 new
nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missiles in 2015. The
president noted in his speech that the new missiles “will be
capable of penetrating the most modern defenses” and promised
that the Russian government would persist in paying specific
attention to realization of a massive military rearmament
program.

Putin’s words caused a wave of heated reactions in the West. NATO
Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg called the statement
“unjustified, destabilizing and dangerous,” adding that
this would cause the alliance to increase the readiness and the
preparedness of its forces. US Secretary of State John Kerry said
that Russia’s plans to purchase more missiles were causing
concern and could be a sign of reversal in the disarmament
sphere.
However an unnamed military source has told the Interfax news
agency that even after all 40 missiles Putin spoke about are
delivered to troops, Russia would still remain within the limits
imposed by the active international arms treaties. The source
added that the country would stick to the agreed schedule of
rearmament because it was based on industry capabilities and
gradual wearing out of various weapons’ components.
President Vladimir Putin and other top Russian officials have
repeatedly spoken against the possible dragging of the country
into a new arms race, but emphasized that the country would find
a reply to every new move by its opponents.

When Putin spoke to the staff of an Air Force base in South
Russia in 2014, he said that it was of primary importance to look
into the future and respond in a timely manner to all changes in
the global military situation.
Before that, Putin urged the international community to agree on
legally-binding guarantees that new weapons, such as the global
missile defense constructed by the US and NATO, would not be
directed against Russia. “Statements like ‘Don’t be afraid’
and ‘We promise that nothing will happen’ are clearly
insufficient in the modern world,” Putin told reporters.
“This is childish. We need guarantees and serious agreements in
the security sphere.”
