...calculations. How can we ignore that the U.S. plans to deploy 3,000 cruise missiles that will be able to penetrate our antiaircraft defenses? And at the same time, the U.S. is demanding that we reduce the principal weapons on our side, land-based missiles. We favor significant-I repeat significant-reductions.
