Poland: political and economical implications of the US antimissile shield

Poland and the Czech Republic accepted to participate in the US antimissile defence initiative. The plan, that Putin considers as an anti-Russian initiative, provides for the stationing of 10 MEADS interceptor missiles in Poland and a radar in Czech territory. Bush declared the project is aimed at avoiding eventual ballistic attacks from rogue nations such as Ahmadinejad's Iran and Kim Jong-il's North Korea. In the meantime Moscow has stated that it has just developed the RS24, a new intercontinental ballistic missile able to penetrate whatever shield, present or future. No economic-financial details have been defined yet for the US anti-ballistic project but it is, however, clear that Polish companies or companies having relations with Poland will participate in the project.
