Missile Limits

Following up on this post, the AFP is reporting that Russia and the United States will sign a missile sales limitation agreement.

Russia and the United States are to sign an accord on tightening controls on the sale of portable anti-aircraft missiles at a summit in Bratislava later this month, a top Russian defense official said Tuesday.

"The document will be signed by Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov and US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice," the chief of the defense ministry's international cooperation department, General Anatoly Mazurkevich, was quoted as saying by Interfax news agency.

Let's hope that this precludes Russia from selling SA-18
