U.S. DoD Revises Nuclear Deterrence Strategy, Enhancing Ohio-Class Submarines and B-61 Bombs Amid Rising Threats
Nov 22, 2024, 09:52 AM
The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has announced significant adjustments to its nuclear deterrence strategy in response to escalating nuclear capabilities from adversaries, particularly Russia and China. This revision comes amid concerns over the potential collapse of international arms control agreements. Key components of the updated strategy include enhanced readiness of Ohio-class submarines, which are equipped with nuclear weapons, and the introduction of a new variant of the B-61 nuclear gravity bomb that features an increased yield. The DoD, in collaboration with the National Nuclear Security Administration, has submitted a report to Congress detailing these changes aimed at strengthening U.S. nuclear deterrence capabilities.
