Let us thank President Reagan for the following:

By 1979, the superiority of NATO’s nuclear arsenal - both qualitative and numerical - was mainly based on nuclear artillery delivery systems that were able to fire smaller nuclear warheads at enemy forces on the battlefield with much more precision that the Warsaw Pact’s technology allowed.

The Warsaw Pact was forced to revise its first-strike strategy against the West after NATO had diversified its nuclear delivery systems to include ground-based tactical missile and artillery platforms in addition to its tactical aircraft.

I thank President Reagan for a great many things but he had not yet been elected "by 1979."

I assume you are referring to his courageous installation of nuclear cruise missiles in Western Europe, despite literally millions of varmints shrieking and parasites screaming in the streets of Paris and West Berlin.
