Soviet Union builds SLBM force and submarines
The International Institute for Strategic Studies reports the Soviet Union tested a new submarine launched ballistic missile with a solid propellant and a range over 13,000 miles. It notes Russia could equip half its surface fleet with missiles by 1978 and is developing a new nuclear powered attack submarine. The survey cites a threefold increase of Soviet forces on Chinese borders and says Mao’s foreign policy shift influenced Nixon’s invitation to Beijing. The institute does not foresee a major war in the 1970s as the US withdraws from Vietnam and Korea, but warns both sides have rivalry left to exploit.
