British and French missiles (with no American missiles) and 162 Soviet SS-20 missiles. Andropov added that the Soviets were entitled to match future British French INF deployments with equivalent Soviet INF deployments. He also noted that the Soviet Union would insist on a balance of nuclear-capable aircraft against NATO aircraft (British, French and American as well) Last week, Andropov specifically proposed a numerical balance between the number of warheads of British French INF missiles...
