Pompeo: Russia using Open Skies Treaty for data on cruise missile targets
(Worthy News) – Russia is using intelligence obtained from U.S. and European overflights under the Open Skies Treaty to plan future cruise missile strikes on infrastructure targets, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo revealed yesterday.
