<Russia Nuke Fleet Needs Y2K Funds" OSLO, Norway (AP) -

(Ron- this may be too scary for you, please disregard)

Russia's Northern Fleet, which bristles with nuclear weapons, lacks
funds to deal with the ''millennium bug'' that could cause havoc with
its computers, a Norwegian group warned Tuesday. The Oslo-based Bellona
environmental group said the fleet's warning systems are especially
vulnerable to the Y2K problem, which could lead computers to make false
reports of missile attacks. In 1995, Russia was on the verge of
launching a nuclear counterstrike when it mistook a harmless weather
rocket fired from Norway for a NATO missile. ''The authorities are
trying to give the impression that they are doing something in hopes of
calming the population. Unfortunately, Russia is far behind the West in
solving this problem,'' Bellona researcher Igor Kudrik was quoted as
telling the Norwegian news agency NTB.
