According to the chart USSR has a linear increase from the beginning while NATO decrease starts from 1967.
Maybe you considered the linear increase of USSR as starting from 1970 because after that the bars align to form a line?

Well, I was being nice to you.
Because if we take the drop from NATO into account, it's no longer a straight line and is therefore an exponential curve.
It's hard to say what kind of increase there might be in the beginning...you would have to eyeball it on a graph form that is not really well designed for it.

It doesn't matter for my point if USSR's increase was linear or exponential
