MOSCOW. Feb 8 (Interfax) - A missile defense system that is being contemplated for Europe would be limited and would be no match for the sizeable strategic arsenal that Russia possesses, said U.S. Ambassador Alexander Vershbow.

"If you simply look at the globe, you can see that geographically, any systems that would ultimately be in Europe would be oriented towards threats from the south, the southwest - countries like Iran - and would have no logic vis-a-vis Russian systems, which of course go north, not west," the U.S. ambassador said in an interview with Interfax.
