It boasts maps, graphics and descriptions of proposed U.S. missile defense assets, including ten interceptors planned for deployment in Poland, a midcourse X-band radar station planned for construction in the Czech Republic, and necessary command and control infrastructure. The brochure also features a series of questions and answers to bolster the case for missile defense in Europe, covering topics as diverse as whether the system will threaten Russian security interests to safety of X-band radar.
