§ Mr. PymSome of the SS-4 and SS-5 missiles have been withdrawn from service as the SS-20 missiles have been introduced. However, at the present time a large number of the SS-4 and SS-5 remain operational and, since each SS-20 carries three re-entry vehicles there has been a marked increase in the total number of warheads deployed since its introduction.
