NIE-11-3-72 Memorandum to Holders: Soviet Strategic Defenses (20 December 1973)
Before about 1967, numbers for PVO Strany aircraft are given in rough general categories, such as "modern day fighters", with each category compromising multiple aircraft types.
I suspect the change to reporting specific aircraft type counts was due to the increasing availability of reconnaissance satellites to provide repeated consistent coverage of the Soviet Union, allowing analysts to identify each specific aircraft type.
