Today’s international nuclear landscape is a volatile one: Russia continues to develop new strategic nuclear weapons delivery systems and modernize its tactical nuclear weapons inventory; China is in the midst of the largest ever nuclear force expansion and arsenal diversification in its history; North Korea is expanding its nuclear arsenal; Iran continues to enrich uranium. Working with our partners at the Department of Defense, #NNSA is currently engaged in multiple simultaneous warhead modernization programs. Together, we provide an effective nuclear deterrent across air, land, and sea. https://lnkd.in/eBK3z9_g
