Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said on Wednesday, Russia and China are trying to close the technology gap with the U.S. military and developing weapons systems. Hagel was speaking before a NATO summit expected to bring Russia's souring relations with the West into sharp focus and the goals of NATO allies to strengthen defense spending. U.S. defense officials have watched as Moscow and Beijing have tested a string of sophisticated weapons, from radar-evading aircraft and anti-ship missiles that fly many times the speed of sound, to integrated air defenses. Hagel said the goal was to promote greater innovation needed to preserve America's technological edge, even at a time of tighter budgets. http://bit.ly/1lD5Vcd http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
