Defence minister meets head of American Missile Defence Agency

Meanwhile, Defence Minister Vlasta Parkanová met the head of the American Missile Defence Agency Henry Obering in Prague on Thursday to discuss the sighting of a US radar base in Central Bohemia. General Obering told journalists before the meeting that the US hoped to build a radar base in Brdy near Prague, in order to counter the threat of Iranian missiles, which, he said, would be capable of flying as far as Europe in two to three years’ time.
