To calculate the security verification requirement..., the terminal kill probabilities(TKPs) of all types of strategic missiles possessed by [country A] and [country B] should first be computed. Ideally a calculation of the terminal kill probabilities of warheads attacking a set of different silos requires detailed knowledge of which particular silo is to be targeted and by what warhead.... The TKP value of a warhead indicates the chances that this warhead will destroy a known hardened target. When a certain number of a given type of warheads are used against a known number of silos, the TKP value indicates the percentage of these silos to be destroyed.  2, record 1, English, - terminal%20kill%20probability

Si l'arsenal nucléaire était effectivement déployé et maintenu en état d'alerte élevé, il devrait être protégé, soit par la construction de silos durcis, soit par la création d'un système perfectionné de défense antimissile balistique associé à un système sophistiqué de détection lointaine.  3, record 2, French, - silo%20durci
