Russia does not see the aspirations of the United States to exit the regime of control over rocket technologies (RKRT). So the ambassador on special instructions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia Grigory Mashkov rated the possibility of the US output from RKRT, RIA Novosti reports.
“will not speak on behalf of the American side. I can only say that I do not see the symptoms pointing to the desire of our American colleagues to abandon commitments within the framework of the regime and get out of it,” he said.
In RCRT, an important discussion is underway to improve the control system, so the undermining of the goals of a missile non-proliferation is not in the interests of the American side, Mashkov stressed. He also noted that RCR does not provide for a complete ban on the export of missile technologies, restrictions apply to production capacity to create goods of a specific category indicated in technicalization of the RCART.
“When making a decision [on export], the balance is taken into account between the desire to obtain economic benefits and the achievement of non-proliferation goals. As it seems to us, first it was observed. Now the desire to raise the considerations of economic benefits to the fore,” the Russian diplomat explained.
Magazine control mode (RKRT) is a set of rules operating within the system of non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and its means of delivery. It was formed in 1987, the contract is intended to limit the spread of missile technologies and unmanned aircraft systems. The control mode is a voluntary association of 34 states.
In July 2020, the US, at the board of Donald Trump, decided to more gently interpret a number of RCCR provisions in order to export the unmanned vehicles.
