U.S. Willing to Tolerate Backfire Buildup in SALT Talks
U.S. arms negotiators reportedly accept a larger Soviet Backfire fleet than U.S. B 52s during the SALT III framework.

Russia argues Backfire is border security, not strategic war, while CIA and Air Force assessments note its longer range and potential threat to the United States.
