American expert: submarines "Ohio" will respond to America's nuclear destruction
116
American edition The National Interest publishes material reporting on the "Achilles Heel of the United States." The Achilles heel, according to David Pyne, the author of the material, is nuclear disparity. Pine, who holds a master's degree in national security research at Georgetown University, believes the US needs to start immediately by increasing the pace of its exploitation of submarine fleet with nuclear missiles. In particular, this is the Ohio submarine project.
USS Louisiana submarine (SSBN-743)
From the material:
The best way to strengthen and expand America’s nuclear deterrent in the near term will be to increase the rate of operation of the Ohio submarines from four out of fourteen at sea at any time to ten. This would ensure that more than two thirds of our submarine fleet with a nuclear arsenal could not be destroyed in their ports in a hypothetical preemptive nuclear strike from the enemies of America, giving the United States a much more likely retaliatory strike - 2,5 times more powerful.
According to Pine, an important step that could make Trump, is a step to abandon the "new limitations of the START Treaty." The expert considers the fulfillment of these restrictions “unverifiable”.
Further - typical pathos from the American security specialist:
America is an example for the world and continues to serve as a great bastion of freedom and hope for the hundreds of millions of ordinary people who live under communist and Islamist tyranny and oppression, but America can maintain this status only if Congress now takes measures to protect against the threat of nuclear attacks.
For reference: in open sources it is said that the US submarine fleet is equipped with Ohio-class 18 submarines, whose full missile systems are: 24 Trident II D5 ballistic missiles or 154 Tomahuk cruise missiles.
