从中导条约看美苏在军控方面的新变化

THE INF TREATY AND NEW THINKING IN ARMS CONTROL

美苏经过历时六年多的艰难谈判,终于达成了消除中程和中短程导弹的协议,并在华盛顿举行的最高级会议期间由美苏首脑正式签署。许多评论文章已对中导条约的政治和军事意义进行了充分的阐述,故本文仅谈美苏在军控方面的某些新变化。

The strategic thinking of the United States and the Soviet Union is gradually shifting from 'mutual assured destruction' to 'assured survival'. This is one important reason for the signing of the INF treaty. In its turn, the signing of the treaty will facilitate this shift of strategic thinking. The INF treaty is also important in that it allows on-site inspection, and has set a precedent for non-equal reduction of weapons.
