According to a report by Reference News on July 20, citing the Russian Satellite News Agency on July 20, the National Nuclear Security Administration under the U.S. Department of Energy said:As of September 2023, the U.S. nuclear arsenal has a total of 3,748 nuclear warheads. The report said the agency's report stated: "As of September 2023, the United States has 3,748 nuclear warheads."

In March this year, Frank Ross, deputy director of the National Nuclear Security Administration, said that the United States has not yet made a decision to increase its nuclear arsenal, but is seriously studying the issue. He pointed out that at the same time, the United States believes it is necessary to engage with Russia on arms control issues to reduce risks.

According to CCTV Global News Radio, the National Nuclear Security Administration under the U.S. Department of Energy recently stated thatAs of September 2023, the U.S. nuclear arsenal has a total of 3,748 nuclear warheads. From fiscal year 1994 to fiscal year 2023, the United States has destroyed more than 12,000 nuclear warheads. Another 2,000 nuclear warheads have been retired and are awaiting disposal.

In March this year, Frank Ross, deputy director of the U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration, said that the United States has not yet made a decision to increase its nuclear arsenal, but is seriously studying the issue.

According to a recent report on the U.S. Defense News website, the U.S. Congress is pushing a new bill aimed at restoring the strategic nuclear strike capability of dozens of B-52H bombers.

The U.S. Air Force currently has 76 B-52 bombers in service. They are one of the oldest bombers in the Air Force, having been flying since the early 1960s. In 2015, the U.S. Air Force removed the nuclear strike capability from about 30 B-52 bombers to comply with the requirements of the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty.

The New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty is a bilateral nuclear arms reduction treaty signed by the United States and Russia in 2010. The treaty aims to limit the number of nuclear warheads possessed by Russia and the United States. The treaty expires in February 2026.

The new bill proposed by the United States requires the Air Force to begin refitting its bombers within a month of the treaty's expiration and complete the restoration of its nuclear capabilities by 2029.

It can be said that the United States has made no secret of upgrading and expanding its nuclear arsenal. Recently, Praneethi, a senior director of the National Security Council, declared in a speech that if the nuclear arsenals of America's adversaries maintain their current development trend, the United States may deploy more strategicnuclear weapon, to counter the US's adversaries. Some commentators believe that Wadi's statement shows that the US is brewing a strategic shift in nuclear weapons and nuclear expansion has been put on the agenda.

that's the truth.

Just on June 4, the U.S. military tested a Minuteman III intercontinental missile without a warhead at the Vandenberg Test Site in California. The missile flew more than 6,400 kilometers at a speed of 24,000 kilometers per hour and arrived at the test site in the Marshall Islands in the central Pacific.

Subsequently, the United States conducted a second test launch on June 6. The United States claimed that the test launch was to demonstrate the "combat readiness of the U.S. nuclear force" and boost the U.S. "confidence in nuclear deterrence."

According to data from the U.S. Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center, the U.S. Air Force currently has 400 Minuteman III intercontinental missiles, and its land-based nuclear forces have a total of about 800 nuclear warheads deployed.

According to a report by the People's Liberation Army Daily on the 18th, the Swedish think tank Stockholm International Peace Research Institute recently released the 2023 Global Nuclear Forces Report. According to the report, global nuclear weapons spending continued to rise in 2023. The United States spent $51.5 billion in this area last year, which was higher than the total annual nuclear weapons spending of other nuclear-armed countries.

As we all know, the United States is the world's largest nuclear power. However, in order to maintain its absolute security and absolute military superiority, the United States has continued to spend huge amounts of money to expand and upgrade its nuclear arsenal in recent years. Take the first half of this year as an example. From multiple test launches of intercontinental missiles to the promotion of the restoration of the strategic nuclear strike capability of the B-52 bomber; from restarting the development of a new generation of sea-based cruise missiles that can carry nuclear warheads to plans to deploy medium- and short-range missiles and tactical nuclear weapons in Poland and the three Baltic countries, the United States has taken a series of measures to enhance its nuclear strike and nuclear deterrence capabilities. The various negative trends of the United States not only highlight its hegemonic plots, but also increase the risk of global nuclear confrontation and even nuclear war, posing serious risks to international security.
