Russians push unprecedented missile program says Rumsfeld
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld told reporters that the Soviet Union is expanding a new generation of missiles with multiple warheads at a rate faster than anticipated. He cited over 1,500 ICBMs and 8 submarine missiles, with 170 deployed having multi warheads and potential future deployment of four to eight warheads per weapon. He contrasted U.S. forces, noting American missiles are being converted to multiple warheads as well. Rumsfeld described the effort as unprecedented and said the U.S. should keep its strategic deterrent healthy while monitoring Soviet advances.
