has previously offered the use of the Gabala radar station in Azerbaijan and the Armavir radar station in Russia"s Krasnodar Territory as alternatives to previous U.S. plans for a missile shield in Central Europe, but Washington was reluctant to accept the proposal.The Russian diplomat said the details of the new U.S. plans were too sketchy to make a reliable evaluation of the benefits of missile defense cooperation to Russia.
