 1The data in this fact sheet comes from the most recent aggregate MOU data exchanged by the Parties to the START Treaty. Only the more significant aggregate data is listed here and on the accompanying tables. The data under the "Total, Former USSR Parties" heading was compiled by the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency from the individual totals submitted by these Parties, and is provided for ease of comparison.

 Note that all data reflects specific START counting rules. Within tables, a "--" denotes that the entry is not applicable. The complete unclassified MOU data of the Parties is available upon request from the Bureau of Arms Control, U.S. Department of State, Washington, DC  20520.
