Update: Russia Builds Missile Defense It Would Deny U.S. -- IBD Editorial
My Comment: More info on Russia's radar deployment plans can be read here. As to what is my take on these developments ....

With this Russia radar development moving forward, I would say that they are accomplishing their goals successfully and with a willing U.S. administration.
