The Central Intelligence Agency believes that the operational
assumptions basic to the NATO Mission Profile Hi-Lo-Hi def-
inition are extremely optimistic and produce combat radius es-
timates which cannot be achieved under wartime conditions.
CIA believes that the combat radii associated with.the
Lo-Lo-Hi definitions are much more in line with Warsaw Pact
estimates of the combat radius capability of Pact aircraft and
are in fact a more realistic reflection of Pact intentions
concerning the use of these aircraft.
