This article is written in British English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, defence, artefact, analyse) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.
"In July, it was decided that each of the locations would be designated as a squadron, with three missiles." this isn't clear, only three missiles per squadron, I thought it was three per flight? How do we get to 60 then? Also what were the "locations" mentioned?
Y Re-worded to "This was conceived as a four-squadron deployment, with each squadron controlling fifteen missiles in five flights of three missiles, with each flight at a separate location." Later: In July, it was decided that each of the locations would be designated as a squadron instead of a flight, but still with three missiles. Hawkeye7(discuss) 07:21, 11 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
The second para of the Deployment section doesn't flow really well. When I read it, I thought "Where do the twenty squadrons come from?" Are they all missile ones? That sentence seems out of place, surely it should be at the end of the para, summarising? Might be worth stating explicitly up front that the squadrons were allocated to two Groups, No. 1 and No. 3. The rest seems ok.
the map is incredibly busy, I suggest limiting it to the main bases, we know the satellites will be in a group around each one.
I think it's important to have them all. As you can see from the map, the satellites are not that regular. Hawkeye7(discuss) 07:21, 11 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
"IWST launches were to demonstrate proficiency" should that be CTL? Also it is a bit repetitive, they were to demonstrate proficiency AND to demonstrate efficiency? Seems closely parsed.
The term is also unfamiliar and a bit ambiguous, does that mean the nuclear deterrent based to the west of the Soviet Union? Perhaps expand slightly?
Yeah. Just as you won't hear the term "North America" outside Canada, so "western nuclear deterrent" will only be used in the UK. Linked "western" to "First World"
Hope this addresses all your concerns. Hawkeye7(discuss) 07:21, 11 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
