Craig Whitlock, NATO near adoption of U.S. missile shield. Washington Post, Oct. 15, 2010.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/10/14/AR2010101406814.html
(scheduled to be activated next year; The United States would foot most of the bill for building and operating the shield over Europe)


-----------------Separately
(1) Israel signs a $400 million contract to sell surveliiance drones to Russia (additional reports indicate Israel will build a plant in Russia to build the drones), no doubt helped by Russia's refusal to deliver S-300 air-defense system to Iran.

(2) 中国:拒绝无关国家介入南海争议. BBC Chinese, Oct. 15, 2010.

My comment:
(a) Russia's official press: Russia's 34th mountain brigade, based in the North Caucasus, to take part in the INDRA 2010 drills; will use Russia’s T-90 battle tanks.

Indra

(King of the gods and Lord of Heaven in Hindu mythology; also the God of War, Storms, and Rainfall)

(b) Indian media indentifies location: Chaubattia in Uttarakhand

Uttarakhand

(a state; literally North Country or Section in Sanskrit)
