Stuttgart based rocket expert Dr Eugen Saenger warns that Soviet ICBM development is a serious challenge to the United States. He cites two project rockets TS and T4 with ranges 5000 to 10000 miles and unmanned three or four stage designs. Saenger contends the Soviets may reach New York in 83 minutes and emphasizes US focus on building effective ICBMs. He doubts any protection against intercontinental missiles, noting unmanned missiles on fixed courses pose a decisive risk.
