| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The United States’ nuclear weapons modernization budget is sloping up like a ski jump. It includes down payments to develop two new missiles, a new nuclear warhead, and new generations of bombers and ballistic missile submarines. Russia, with its stockpile of roughly 4,500 nuclear weapons, is developing and/or deploying a new type of intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of carrying more than 10 nuclear warheads, a hypersonic glide vehicle, an autonomous underwater torpedo that President Putin claimed could deliver a nuclear weapon to the US coast, and a nuclear-powered cruise missile with unlimited range. |
