Russia Lags in ICBM Program Aims and Submarine Arms
U S intelligence expects the Soviet Union to be about six months behind in fielding an advanced intercontinental ballistic missile, with the first Soviet ICBM due in early 1963. The United States prepares Minuteman as the main modern ICBM and will deploy up to 800 missiles by 1965. The Soviets may also press to field three Polaris type submarines by year end, though none have been seen yet. The U S fleet will reach nine Polaris submarines with 144 missiles by year end, strengthening deep strike capability. Kennedy aides have discussed improved U S ICBM advantage in light of new estimates, while large missiles remain mostly liquid fueled and vulnerable on above ground pads. The battle for missile parity continues amid debates over Soviet intentions and capacity.
