Russia is not transparent about its previous work with the United States Government in the WMD space. Russia knows what the Defense Threat Reduction Agency's Cooperative Threat Reduction Program is doing with the U.S. because they were an active participant from 1996-2013. This movie highlights those past relationships and projects with the Russian Federation from the perspective of those who worked them.

ABOUT DTRA

DTRA provides cross-cutting solutions to enable the Department of Defense, the United States Government, and international partners to deter strategic attack against the United States and its allies; prevent, reduce, and counter WMD and emerging threats; and prevail against WMD-armed adversaries in crisis and conflict.
