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.
