The concept of "strategic stability" is analyzed using the methods of mathematical modeling. A two-level interactive modeling system is represented. It includes a two-dimensional visual model and a multidimensional sophisticated model that takes into account actual characteristics and parameters of real strategic weapons systems. For example, the balance of USSR-USA strategic forces is analyzed on the basis of data from publicly accessible sources.
