This passage needs citation or removal.
The Soviet Union devoted their command economy to the arms race and with the deployment of the SS-18 in the late 1970s achieved first strike superiority.
As a history student i was suprised to learn that the USSR acquired a 'first strike superiority'. This section is not only historically inaccurate - if the USSR had the abaility to strike the USA without the US being able to counter-attack then why didn't it use it, but it also doesn't ake gramatical sense. The correct term would be 'first strike capability' if this had even been the case.
