Despite its deployment of new conventional and nuclear weapons and the expansion of its manpower chiefly soviet nato Neperud cracks in the Structure. The soviet Union and the six other Mcm Bart Bulgaria Czechoslovakia East Germany Hungary Poland and to mania maintain Aboul 225 Active Divi Sions 169 of which Are soviet. Ten Divi Sions have been added 10 Hie soviet order of Battle since 1970. Gen. Of. Zeiner Gundersen of nor Way who until recently was chairman of the military committee of the North at lactic treaty organization no de hat in 970 the Warsaw pact forces had fewer than 50,000 Jain Battle tanks but that the 1980 figure was Over 55,000. The present Force he added includes a growing pro portion of new More heavily armed Anda Mored tanks. The soviet Union has also increased it inventory of antiaircraft and antitank mis Siles. Some of the antiaircraft missiles particularly new medium and Low Alti tude types have gone to members of the Alliance. For years nato experts believed that the Warsaw pact forces would have a tac tical Battlefield advantage because of the uniformity of their soviet designed weapons now an uneven distribution of the More Modem weapons is noted. Poland for example has been Given no fighter aircraft newer than the Mio-21, which appeared in the 60s, while the soviet Union deploys 1.300 Mig-23i, 25s and 27s. Ciechno Slovakia has no tanks newer than those deployed by the russians in the Early 60s, while the soviet Union has much later models including a new one still being tested. One result of Lime differences in Arma ment the nato Esperum believe would be difficulties of Supply maintenance and re pair in time of our. Furthermore the lick of uniformity in weaponry and the failure to provide the newest Materiel to non soviet forces Are Laid to have disturbed nation Al feelings. In particular the polish forces have Krong traditions and Many officer Umuiwi Are Laid to resent what they consider c calculated soviet policy of providing out of Date Wear Oil. A British source pointed out that the polish government i wrongly supported by the military has guarded National rights Ngai Rul soviet military interference a status of forces agreement concluded in 1957 stipulate Chat soviet unit Ilalio Ned in Poland cannot infringe polish sovereignty and Are subject to polish Law. Under the agreement the commander of the two so Viet armoured divisions about 650 units stationed in Poland must ask government approval for military exercises. Relations Between members of the Alli Ance especially Poland Czechoslovakia Hungary and Romania and the soviet Union have deteriorated according to nato and refugee sources because of what one analyst termed the russian superiority  soviet officers Are arrogant enough in Russia he said.

A tack of communication Between the soviet farce and the other members forces beyond regional headquarter is not helped a nato source said by rigid rules against unofficial rela Tion Between soviet troops and he National of bos countries. Industrial unrest in Poland veiled hostility to the five divisions in Czechoslovakia and Romania s opposition to aspects of soviet foreign policy which has prompted the withholding of romanian troops from Warsaw pact exercises have led the West pm experts to believe that Moscow use of troop of Alliance members in a european War would be highly  East German forces arc the Small rat in Tiff both absolutely and in proportion to population but they alone have apparently been Given an essential role in soviet War plans. The russian Lave retained control of the East German forces to a degree greater than in the other Mem Ber states and those forces figure prominently in soviet mobilization plans. In a crisis he three East German diet tons of military District v would come under the command of soviet Force Ger Many at Wossen near Berlin and he three divisions of military District Iii would be under the order of the com Mander of the Northern croup at Lieg Nitz Poland. The nato analysts envisage a less Active role for other forces. There is evidence that he russians him doubts Aboul the political reliability and combat morale of a number of polish hungarian romanian and czechoslovak unite. The expert fore see the assignment of those units to guard ing end  line of communication and carrying out minor operations in the event of War. Nato considers the East German army to be the Best trained led and equipped in the Alliance. Bulgarian forces would probably be used in any operations against nato Southern flank in Greece and Turkey. Although they Ere Loyal to the soviet leadership the state of to Weir Arma ment an analyst said is such that deploy ing them in Battle would be like pulling a 1950 army in � 1980  summer programs helped a Little Eton feels financial bind my Al til qb4  a Foch by Maureen Johnso London api Eton the school for the sons of Britain t Rich and influential is feeling the Pinch again.
