Soviet moves push new ICBM sites and warhead plans
U S intelligence says the Soviet Union may be replacing 25 megaton SS9 warheads with three five megaton warheads aimed at different targets. At least 40 sites larger than SS9 silos are under construction across several regions in the Soviet Union. Analysts are unsure whether these will house an improved SS9 or a new ICBM. Defense Secretary Laird warns of a possible second‑rate strategic position and Senators fear a tilt toward Moscow as arms talks continue. Laird signals a possible extra defense budget for the new buildup and urges focus on peace and security beyond Vietnam.
