addition, at the onset of a war, air and naval attacks would
almost certainly be mounted against NATO forces in these areas
and in the Mediterranean. (IV, 116-125)
- The Pact views early seizure of the Turkish Straits as crucial to
the success of its maritime strategy in the Southwestern TVD.
(IV, 113)
- While the Soyiets might launch a limited offensive into eastern
Turkey, we have no evidence that they would undertake
operations against Iran during an initial phase. (IV, 123)
- Soviet naval operations in the Mediterranean would begin at the
start of a war and would be aimed primarily at the destruction of
Western ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs) and aircraft
carriers. (IV, 131)
- While the most immediate threat would come from Soviet ships
and submarines already deployed in the Mediterranean,
numerically the most sizable threat to NATO's naval forces there
would come from missile-equipped Soviet strike aircraft, despite
the fact that they would be operating without fighter escort. (IV,
135)
1:8. We have good evidence that as part of the offensive by the
Pact's Maritime Front, the Soviet Black Sea Fleet would attempt to
secure control of the Black Sea,:support the movement of Pact ground
forces along the western littoral; and assist in seizing the Turkish Straits.
To assist in the achievement of air and sea superiority and to protect the
amphibious force, the Soviets probably would retain in the Black Sea at
least some of their. available larger combatants equipped for ASW and
with surface-to-air missiles (SAMs)-such as Moskvas, Karas, Kashins,
and Krivaks. There is disagreement in the Intelligence Community on
the numbers of large surface combatants which would be retained in
the Black Sea rather than deployed to the Mediterranean before the
outbreak of hostilities. (IV, 126 and 142-144)
19. In the Northwestern TVD our information indicates that:
- Initial Soviet objectives in the Northwestern TVD center on
ensuring freedom of action and uninhibited access to the open
ocean for Soviet naval ships and aircraft and on maintaining the
forward defense of the extensive complex of naval bases and
strategic installations located on the Kola Peninsula. (IV, 145)
- Initial operations by Soviet land forces probably would be
liinited to northern Norway. We have no evidence indicating
that the Soviets plan for a general offensive against Finland or
Sweden early in a. war. (IV, 150-153)
