Soviet Defense Chief Hints Leadantimissile Breakthrough
Soviet Defense Minister Malinovsky told the 22nd Communist party congress Moscow that the USSR has solved the problem of destroying rockets in flight.

US officials weighed whether this referred to ballistic missile defense or other missiles, noting Nike Zeus is not yet operational. Informants said he also spoke of a megaton bomb controlled by Soviet scientists, 1,800 missile-capable units, long-range missiles with millimeter accuracy, and a submarine fleet under Arctic ice.
