It's time for a data update. All that is left of the mighty nuclear triad is a reduced SLBM force, 3 flights of ancient, nerfed Minuteman IIIs (single warheads), tactical airdropped munitions and Tomahawk missiles.
Peacekeeper ICBM = gone.
Strategic airdropped munitions = nearly gone. The last delivery system for the retained SMs is the no-longer-invincible B2, of which we have only 21 units.
ALCM = retiring now, nuclear ones may already be gone.
SRAM = gone.
ALCM and SRAM replacements = cancelled.
Nuclear artillery, etc. = gone. Army has no nukes.
Until the flying unicorns are available, we are vulnerable!!!
“All that is left of the mighty nuclear triad is a reduced SLBM force”
The SLBM force is more than enough to provide our deterrence.
1,288 warheads deployed on 14 Ohio class SSBNs.
Each W76 warhead is 7 times the yield of Little Boy dropped on Hiroshima. Each W88 is 30 times the yield.
Ohio class subs are untra-quiet and have great communication via ULF. At least 8 are on patrol at any given time.
The Trident D5 has a range of 12,000 kilometers with an accuracy of 90 meters CEP. It has had 142 consecutive successful test launches since 1989.
