The MX, a new U S intercontinental missile, would deploy 100 missiles at Warren AFB with 23 more for testing and spares. Congress had authorized 21 combat ready missiles with delivery set for spring 1986. The weapon carries up to 12 warheads, weighs 193000 pounds, and is 71 feet long with a 6675 mile range. Analysts note party splits, leadership tensions, and Aspin's pivotal role in the debate as Democrats battle cohesion ahead of a crucial vote.
