Navy Lacks Plan to Defend Against 'Sizzler' Missile
U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense Gordon England has given the Navy until Apr. 29 to explain how it will counter the Russian SS-N-27B supersonic anti-ship missile after nearly six years of warnings from Pentagon testers.
The director of Pentagon's weapons-testing office judges the threat so serious that he warned the Pentagon's chief weapons-buyer in a memo that he would move to stall production of multibillion-dollar ship and missile programs until the issue was addressed.
