[edit] Tu-22M and the SALT agreements

The article states:

In the 1970s, Tupolev concentrated its efforts on improving the performance of the Tu-22M bombers, whose variants included maritime versions. It is the presence of these bombers in quantity that brought about the SALT I and SALT II treaties.

Is this true that these were a reason for SALT? I can't find any reference to this online. It's an interesting idea, but a reference would be good - Crosbiesmith 22:54, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

I've uploaded "Image:Salt-1-2.sxw" russian text with historical review of SALTs. Maybe, this will help. --jno 09:57, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

As I don't read Russian, it's not much use to me directly unfortunately, but perhaps someone else can help out here. I might post a comment at the SALT talk page as well. Thanks for your help - Crosbiesmith 19:11, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

There are a number of translators round there:

maybe, they'll be somehow helpful --jno 08:16, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
