("Russia moved Il-76 production from Uzbekistan to Russia. This process got
rolling five years ago, when China placed a $1.5 billion order for 38 Il-76
transport planes and Il-78s (tanker versions of the Il-76)")
My comment: Search in the Web showed in 2005 China placed an order with
Russia, not Uzbekistan. | c**i

Intercept. Missile Defense Agency, US Department of Defense, Apr 15, 2011.

Quote:
"The two demonstration Space Tracking and Surveillance Satellites (STSS),
launched by MDA in 2009, successfully acquired the target missile, providing
stereo 'birth to death' tracking of the target.
"Today’s event, designated Flight Test Standard Missile-15 (FTM-15), was
the most challenging test to date, as it was the first Aegis BMD version 3.6
.1 intercept against an intermediate-range target (range 1,864 to 3,418
miles) and the first Aegis BMD 3.6.1 engagement relying on remote tracking
data. The ability to use remote radar data to engage a threat ballistic
missile greatly increases the battle space and defended area of the SM-3
missile.
My comment: Quotation 2 echos Jim Wolf's report: siginificance lies in (a)
intermediate-range (as opposed to short-range) target and (b) impact at
target's mid-course rather than final phase/re-entry. Besides, STSS is new,
unavailable before).
