Hey troll, do your own research. Just search for "Open Skies Treaty" and find out for yourself. My experience is that you have to read about 20-30 articles from a variety of different sources to figure out what's going on. Write up the results of your research, and let us know what you find out. Don't forget to show the links to the sources you used.
Not a troll. I explained that already. Don't you have the memory to avoid faulty analysis that has already been corrected? As usual, you prove your inability to judge motivations and thus a flaw in Generational Dynamics.
It only took one article from Brookings. It is taking longer to write to this site than it took to satisfy my curiosity.
The Russians put Improper limitations on where the flights could take place over its territory, and the United States put reciprocal limitations on US overflights. As the objective is to detect nukes detonating and invasion preparations, the reciprocals seem unnecessary. Do they think they will pick up preparations for an invasion of Canada?
The thing I missed was that the country being overflown has a right to put an observer on board. Thus, replacing the old 1950s pre-707s with a drone won't work. Using a newer plane would expose some of our fancier stuff. It will take a bit of time to equip a new airframe with observable stuff. Other than that, my conjecture stands.
I did visit a WIKI page on the Joint Stars aircraft, which is used to detect tanks beyond the front lines of modern battlefields. Would you believe they use modified 707 airframes, not much newer than the planes being removed?
