Dangerous SALT outlook warns of Soviet advantage growth
Henry J. Taylor profiles negotiator Able Gerard C. Smith as he explains to readers that the Soviet Union now outpaces the United States in strategic missiles and megatonnage. He estimates Moscow spends roughly 17 to 18 billion yearly on strategic forces versus about 7 to 8 billion by the U.S. He notes Soviet subs with 16 2,000 mile range missiles, 3,000 mile SLBMs, a monthly launch rate, offshore support ships, and spies far outstripping American capabilities. The piece traces this shift to McNamara policy mistakes and long lead times, asserting an accelerating Soviet build-up through the 1960s and into 1971.
