According to Dr. Ken Alibek, a former Soviet Colonel and 1st Deputy Chief of the secret Soviet germ warfare program who defected to the United States in 1992, the former Soviet Union has developed a spray technique based upon the use of spray tanks installed on medium range bombers. In the 1980’s, they also started development on a new type of delivery system based on the use of “a low flying, high-speed object” comparable to a U.S. cruise missile.
