I heard an interview with Gwynne Dwyer on the radio the other day.
He spoke about the recent controversy over short range missiles
in Europe.

He said that the reason there was controversy was that the
_intermediate_ range missiles that the US agreed to remove had
a range of 450 miles, and the new _short_ range ones have a range of
400 miles.

He said the new short range missiles were upgrades to replace whatever
short range missiles the US had there previously.

Can anyone confirm or deny these numbers?
