Learn about the START treaties in Metal Gear, including START I and START II, and the upcoming START III.

The Strategic Nuclear missile reduction treaty, known as START, has seen two iterations ratified to date: START I and START II. These treaties have successfully reduced the strategic nuclear arsenals of both the US and Russia to between 3000 and 3500 warheads. Furthermore, Heavy ICBM's (Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles) and MIRV ICBM's (Multiple Independent Reentry Vehicle Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles) have been completely abolished as a result of these agreements.

The START III Treaty is scheduled to be signed in the near future.
