With this system, one subma-
rine - launched missile can carry
10 to 14 warheads which can be
separately directed on different
targets. The Soviet Union has no
MIRVS in operation but two of
its latest inter-continental roc-
kets - the SS-17 and SS-18 are
reportedly being prepared to
carry the full MIRV system at a
-later stage, according to the pub-
lication.
Under the limits set by last
years strategic arms limitation
talks (SALT) agreements, the
United States is held, to a ceiling
of 1,710 ICBMs and submarine-
launched missiles (SLBMS).
The Soviet Union was given a
higher total of 2,424 under the
agreement, which is in force un-
til 1977.
Both governments, the insti-
tute said, seemed determined to
reach the limits set by their
agreement as soon as possible
while also obtaining the maxi-
mum qualitiative capability."
It was estimated that by the
end of the 1970s the United
States' 1,710 strategic missiles
could be carrying well over 8,000
warheads. It was also noted that
the Soviets now had three new
submarines each carrying 12 nu-
clear missiles with a 4,600-mile
range.
