The first official recognition of the need to base future European security on defensive principles is to be found in the Warsaw Pact’s Budapest Address of June 1986.

In addition to reductions in ground forces they proposed (as a start) a 25 per cent reduction in the ‘tactical strike aviation’ of the two alliances.
