Russia Says Czechs Making 'Big Mistake' On U.S. Radar

Yuri Baluyevsky said after meeting Czech Deputy Defense Minister Martin Bartak in Moscow that Prague should delay any decision until after the election of a new U.S. administration, which might re-evaluate the missile decision.

The Czech Republic is discussing with Washington hosting a radar station that would form part of the U.S. missile shield. 

Washington says the system is aimed at countering potential threats from countries like Iran, but Moscow sees the plan as a threat to its security.
