In the new report of analysts, the Russian Federation is the largest and most diverse nuclear arsenal in the world. Moreover, it can produce hundreds of warheads every year, and its capabilities are growing. Stocks of non -strategic nuclear weapons are not limited to any contract. "In this aspect in Russia, the advantage of 10 to 1 over the United States," said the head of the Congressman Republican Committee Mike Rogers during the hearing.
According to him, Moscow and Beijing are already engaged in the development of nuclear technologies that will help bypass American early observation systems. This increases the risk of a sudden nuclear stroke. The commission report also states that the likelihood of a great nuclear war remains low, but the risk of armed confrontation and nuclear weapons in the United States has increased.
According to the head of the commission John Kyle, after the Cold War, the United States "atrophied" nuclear productions, while the Russian Federation only increased capacity. The authors of the report believe that the states need to increase the number of B-21 strategic bombers and new Columbia atomic submarines. They said the US should also place more tactical nuclear complexes in Asia and Europe.
