U S study finds retaliatory strike possible without ICBMs
The Carnegie Endowment report says the United States could launch an assured destruction against the Soviet Union even if it loses all intercontinental missiles. Bomber and submarine forces would remain capable, keeping the U.S. from total vulnerability. The study warns Soviet attack vulnerability could erode defense credibility but argues the threat can be managed.

Would arms reductions raise the risk in nuclear standoff
Washington debate centers on Reagan’s plan to curb strategic missiles while both sides maintain vulnerability. FAA analysts say Moscow could keep enough warheads to hit fewer U S targets, while State Department officials argue reductions could render Soviet forces more vulnerable to U S attack. Supporters claim it would restore equality of vulnerability and deter war.
