US declared superiority of its nuclear triad over “potential adversary”

Today, the United States is superior to all potential adversaries in the field of nuclear weapons and intend to maintain this superiority in the future. This statement was made by US Secretary of Defense Mark Esper.

Speaking with General Mark Millie, Chairman of the US Chiefs of Staff, at a virtual meeting with US military personnel as well as Pentagon civilians, Esper said the US nuclear triad is the most combat-capable of any potential adversary. Esper stressed that the United States is constantly modernizing elements of the triad: strategic bombers, intercontinental ballistic missiles and nuclear submarines carrying "nuclear missiles."

We maintain an extremely capable nuclear triad. More combat-ready than our opponents and competitors. We will continue to maintain this leadership in the coming years. The fact is that we are (...) modernizing our bombers, ICBMs and submarines. They will not only become more powerful than those of our competitors and adversaries (...). We must also modernize the command, control and communications systems of our nuclear (forces). We invest a lot of money in this. (...)

- said the head of the Pentagon.

According to Esper, the US intends to further develop its nuclear triad "solely for reasons of containing potential armed conflicts."

If you have a combat-ready triad, then you are able to contain the conflict, the threat to the United States. After all, that's exactly what we want: contain the conflict, contain the war. And if such efforts fail, we want to be able to fight and win.

- he stressed.

Yes, they probably haven’t realized what a pig they were planted by ours, with the introduction of the S-500 complex, capable of intercepting their Trident 2. Almost at once leveling their entire submarine fleet (striking power), and in fact their entire nuclear triad)))).
Think about it - we can now repel (shoot down) their massive nuclear attack, but they absolutely do not.
This is the balance of power in the world now))))

[Vladimir16]

And this clown needs only one bullet. All are just bullets. Not to mention nuclear weapons.
And so, yes, they have a lot of nuclear weapons.
Useless then?

[5-9]

Where did the firewood get to work on ICBMs if possible? Not, if they come close for a dagger strike on a shallow one, then maybe probably, but I don't think so

[lucul]

Where would the S-500 firewood come from to work on ICBMs?

From here:
"Anti-aircraft missile system (SAM) of the new generation S-500" Prometheus "will be able to hit all types of ballistic missiles and combat units. This was stated by the first deputy general designer of the Almaz-Antey concern, Sergei Druzin.

I would like to believe .... But why then A-235? For the normal destruction of ICBMs, a missile defense missile almost the ICBM itself should be ... GBI is a Minuteman without the first stage, launched from a mine ... S-500 is rather SM3 + SM6 in one bottle, only better and without an idiotic kinetic interception scheme

[lucul]

But why then A-235?

S-500 is new to Putin.

For the normal destruction of ICBMs, a missile defense missile should almost be the ICBM itself.

Does an anti-missile need to fly 11 km like an ICBM? )))

and no idiotic kinetic interception scheme

That is yes.

[5-9]

The A-235 is also newer and of a completely different class than the S-500 ... and this is the missile defense system that should bring down the BB ICBM

And what do you think it protects (even if we take the same 100 Mt, aimed at Moscow (according to the US scientists), how many missiles will it be)?

C-500

It is also not a panacea, and even a fully echeloned air defense (which is in principle impossible in the vastness of the Russian Federation, even having seized all the capital of all our oligarchs) is not a guarantor of the territory's inviolability from the RYA.

[5-9]

100 MTn to Moscow time? More than half of their Strategic Missile Forces? Or 4 Ohio?
Yes, burn it then with fire ... We are in the castle and will not notice a nuclear war in that case ...

Then have a drink and calm down: even having adopted the A-235 (together with the S-500), we will not be able to reflect the MASSIVE RYAU!
Nobody can do this yet! Neither we nor the Yankees. The world rests on a balance of fear of total annihilation. For any development of the situation, a retaliatory strike is guaranteed. This applies to both them and us.
Therefore, there is no need for veal delight, get down to business - milk the cow, and calm down!

[NordUral]

For with any development of the situation a retaliatory strike is guaranteed.

It would be nice to be so, but I have doubts, reflections of an amateur. I am afraid that with a massive strike with low-flying missiles (10-20 thousand), very few launch vehicles on the ground will survive.
And with a sudden blow underwater there is a big chance that NATO will sink most of our drums.
Something will survive, but the force of such a retaliatory strike may not stop from the temptation of a first non-nuclear strike.
I have such concerns. And in order to shoot down the majority of nuclear weapons that will fly at us (as well as non-nuclear ones) in such an amount, how many 500 do you need to have?

It is understandable, but the guidance and interception remained the same, but here the ballistics plays a ROLE ...

since the reaction time is limited by the flight time, accordingly you need to look at the speed of arrival of the yabp, since this is not a retaliatory strike and the destruction of the attack will not slow down the IMHO reaction

[To be or not to be]

Well, what do YOU ​​.. Of course surpass ... in old age.

[Sailor]

Well, their air and sea components are actually better and more powerful (two out of three).

[Hermit21]

Why would the air be more powerful? AGM-86B with UBC left 300 units, which will not be enough even for one full salvo, carriers older than 20 30 years. I don’t take V-2 into account, with his nuclear ironing the crews can only drink sake before the last flight. We have carriers that are younger, and the Kyrgyz Republic is more long-range / modern. And the states do not have such a platform as the Tu-160 / -160M ​​at all. And no, B-1B is not its counterpart - it has an iron-free status. Yes, and there are less than a dozen of them combat-ready. Naval - controversial, especially given the gradual renewal of carriers in the Navy and the death of START

[Sergey Sfiedu]

"The B-1B is not its counterpart - it has an iron-free status" - to return it to its nuclear status, you only need an order from the US Secretary of Defense. It won't take long to restore the wiring for nuclear bombs (if they were removed at all), and new air-launched nuclear missiles are already being developed. The actual almost complete rejection of air-launched nuclear cruise missiles and the elimination of the SAC in the 90s is not because of weakness, but because of the huge fleet of cruisers and destroyers from the Tomahawk CD, and the post-perestroika detente in international relations.

[Hermit21]

No, everything is torn out and caulked under our supervision. In any case, you can't return in a week

Today our aviation is stronger ... Surprisingly. We have missiles with a range of 3500-5000 km, and they have 2500 km ... and only on the ancient B-52. V-2s do not carry missiles, so they are useless ... and they can hardly fly

B-2 - armament: Cruise missiles: 16 x AGM-158 JASSМ.
As of 2012, JASSM is integrated into the armament of the following carriers: B-1 bombers, B-2 and B-52H, F-16 and F / A-18. Work on integration with the F-15E is underway, integration with the F-35 is planned for the future.

Range 158 ER up to 1000 km. So, to break through the front edge of the air defense can ... Inaudible and highly accurate, what is its negative for us.

Before copy-pasting, strain the inter-ear ganglion .. AGM158 is not a long-range missile and does not have a nuclear warhead .. This is a tactical aviation weapon ... There is zero sense from it in the Great Nuclear War ... After the AGM-129 V-2A is decommissioned, zero without a stick

1. It is not necessary to be rude ... It is uncivilized, however.

2. It was "written" by you

B-2s do not carry missiles, so they are useless

Therefore, what complaints can there be about 158 ​​cars?
Learn to accurately express your thoughts, then they will understand you adequately, and not what you deign to "mean".

[5-9]

What kind of missiles should a strategic bomber carry?
Why is he needed for the price of half an aircraft carrier without them?
158, even a vulgar F16 can carry ...

[Boa kaa]

Colleague, the thing is that the Ghost was supposed to be used as a means of breaking through the air defense of the theater of operations. And why are unobtrusive 158 cars not suitable for him?
Yes, where the air defense is suppressed, they will be able to drop the B61-2 "on the fly." This was also foreseen.
So, we will assume that we simply did not understand each other.

[5-9]

Speech in an article about the nuclear triad ... To drop something after the suppression of air defense is the lot of tactical aviation ...

[Sergey Sfiedu]

"The United States has nothing against Russian bombing with X-32, X-555, X-55, X-102 missiles and is defenseless against the Daggers and Zircons (one Vanguard is worth it!)."
Well, let's figure it out. Kh-32 - range up to 1000 km, carrier Tu-22m3. As it is difficult for the carrier to fly to the launch line to the foe.
The Kh-555 is not nuclear. X-55 - easily detected by AWACS aircraft and the range is by no means intercontinental - enemy fighters will shoot down the carriers long before the launch line. The X-102 is better, but also by no means a prodigy. To hit Los Angeles - the carrier needs to fly at least 1000 km. over neutral waters, which is fraught with ...
The USA is defenseless in front of the Daggers - but who will fly to the USA with the Dagger? "Zircon" - but so far it is not, and it is necessary to look, theoretically THAAD should take it. As a nuclear deterrent, Bulava is much better.
"The US cannot oppose the Petrel and Poseidons." - they are not yet available. And given their cost and dubious effectiveness - they are not needed in FIG - the US does not have a global missile defense system, to overcome which they are created. But to create a system of protection against them is much easier than against "Yars" and "Bulavs".
"Vanguard" what is it worth! "-" Vanguard "is expensive, no doubt. no less difficult than one “Vanguard.” For “Topols”, “Yars” and “Bulavs” it is too big and heavy.
However, the United States does not have a global ballistic missile defense system, and it is impossible to create it in the next decade, Obama just bluffed.
So there is nothing better than the good old ICBMs and SLBMs. And it is happiness for the world that the Yankees cannot do anything against ours, and we against theirs ballistic missiles.

And it is necessary to consider nuclear exchange not only from the side of a banal exchange.

And at the same time, few people think that there will be a third party to the conflict - the planet itself. And if someone, in this situation, naively believes that the Earth will calmly watch how it is hammered from all sides by nuclear missiles and bombs, he is deeply mistaken.

And even if they guess, they still don’t have weapons-grade plutonium in order to restore parity.

[cniza]

We would need to disarm, but they puff out all their cheeks, who is more important ...

[Nyrobsky]

This Esper needs to understand one little thing - the presence of a nuclear triad does not guarantee that after its application a full-fledged answer will not arrive, after which there will be no one in the United States to assess its "superiority".

So yes, when merkatosia is washed away into the ocean, there will be no one to calculate the pluses, there will be only one fat minus.

[cniza]

They believe that if they can destroy our ball 10 times, and we only have three (figurative numbers), then they will win, hence such statements.

[Poetry]

There will be no one to award the medal "For Victory in a Nuclear War".

[Thrifty]

On the ruins of the White House in the United States, we put them the order of planetary dullness. ..

[Thrifty]

The United States has a large fleet, which is why welders haven’t set fire to nuclear submarines for a long time. .. Yes, and a couple of aircraft carriers - a triple of superfluous obviously in the system there

[Well done]

But I would not want to check what was said. The Armahide was still missing in the fucking 2020.

[Cyril G ...]

And if such efforts fail, we want to be able to fight and win.

Extremely, uh, stupid person.

[Kibl]

American Serdyukov again gave slag to the mountain. And in what incubator they grow such ideas. The American silo-based ICBMs have long worked out their resources, there is no replacement for them. As it turned out, they were sitting on the remotes, the dumbfounded attendants, the finished feminists are gaining submarines, and now they have from this the main headache. And it's not about combat readiness, but about latrines and separate showers. And this one is about the nuclear triad ...

[Courier]

What is he wrong?
Locals are ready to say that some kind of Zimbabwean triad is better than American than being objective.

Well, of course it’s hard to live screaming all my life, a printing press, the United States was the first to create nuclear weapons, you can even kill yourself against a wall, but it’s true. And the United States has more possible carriers of nuclear weapons than all other countries.

[Mavrikiy]

USA declared the superiority of its nuclear triad over "potential adversary"

So I say: US coercion to disarm is a guarantee of peace on Earth

[mark1]

More combat-ready than our opponents

Do all opponents or the most nasty - North Korea, Iran?

[Zaurbek]

This is most likely true .... only this is about nothing. The Russian Federation can destroy the world 5 times .... and the United States 7 times. USA won? Moreover, no one has protection against mass launch of ballistic missiles.

[5-9]

The power of nuclear weapons is greatly exaggerated ... 1500 warheads are the minimum for unacceptable damage

[Zaurbek]

I read similar articles. Maybe there will be no nuclear winter. But how will the radiation in the air, water, soil, the induced radiation. And all this in conditions when the infrastructure will be repeatedly destroyed.

[5-9]

There will be no winter for sure. Modern thermonuclear ammunition is pretty clean. Losses from the destruction of infrastructure will be higher than from the damaging factors of the nuclear weapons itself.

[Zaurbek]

One - two - three warheads yes .... and 1000? And a bunch of goals such as chemical plants, nuclear power plants and others?

[5-9]

This is already a response to soft civilian goals ... The main blow to the military will be anyway to deprive the enemy of the opportunity to wage war by conventional means after the exchange of the freeze.
I'm not saying it's not scary, but not "the whole world is in dust" in Honduras or Kyrgyzstan and will not notice anything

[Zaurbek]

I thought about it .. my partners in Uzbekistan are calling for work.

[5-9]

Let's be honest, of the triad, only the marine component is the best in the world. Old Minetmen with 1 head in light mines are just slag. And from aviation, in fact, only the ancient B-52 with old missiles (B-2 with free-falling bonbs is just a laugh).
In general, there is parity with us ... Although the Vanguard with Poseidon and Petrel are hinting ...

[Zaurbek]

They also have a different structure of nuclear forces. Their naval unit is the main one ... and we have auxiliary and weapons of retaliation if the ground ones are destroyed.

[cniza]

We maintain an extremely capable nuclear triad. More combat-ready than our opponents and competitors.

That's good, sleep well and don't bother anyone.

[Ros 56]

And how are the blacks related to this?

Yes, they probably haven’t realized what a pig they were planted by ours, with the introduction of the S-500 complex, capable of intercepting their Trident 2. Almost at once leveling their entire submarine fleet (striking power), and in fact their entire nuclear triad)))).
Think about it - we can now repel (shoot down) their massive nuclear attack, but they absolutely do not.
This is the balance of power in the world now))))

Yes, of course, they planted a pig with a non-existent complex. Interception of an intercontinental missile with an operational tactical missile defense system is cool. The grass must have been from the journalists

Quote: 5-9

Where did the firewood get to work on ICBMs if possible? Not, if they come close for a dagger strike on a shallow one, then maybe probably, but I don't think so

From three sources.
1. Agency OBS
2. Ceiling
3. Finger
This is enough for RT to draw such conclusions.

Quote: lucul

From here:
"The new generation S-500 Prometey anti-aircraft missile system (SAM) will be able to hit all types of ballistic missiles and warheads," said Sergei Druzin, First Deputy General Designer of the Almaz-Antey VKO Concern.

I don't know who suffered the blizzard - journalists or Sergey Druzin - but it's a terrible blizzard. In the S-400 form factor and intercept intercontinental aircraft? Even the more massive and specialized missiles of the S-300V complex cannot intercept ICBMs, while the S-500 supersystem can. True, how is it capable of intercepting a target if it has an altitude reach of 200 km, and the BB will go at an altitude of 400-600

Quote: lucul

S-500 is new to Putin.

Yes, even Ivanov-Petrov-Sidorov. If the system is not designed for such interception that at least someone else will be new - it doesn't matter

Quote: lucul

Does an anti-missile need to fly 11 km like an ICBM? )))

But not 600 km, like the S-500 system

Quote: 5-9

S-500 rather SM3 + SM6 in one bottle only better and without the idiotic kinetic interception scheme

Nobody knows what the S = 500 is and how it differs from the S-400. The mass-dimensional and range-speed parameters of interceptor missiles are not known either.
As for kinetic interception, if you believe our open sources, then on the new systems they are going to switch to kinetic interception, especially in the context of missile defense

Quote: Hermit21

And no, B-1B is not its counterpart - it has a nuclear-free status.

As it received a nuclear-free status, so it can get nuclear again, after the death of START

Quote: Victor_B

By the way, I wonder what will happen if the states deliver a full-fledged nuclear strike against China, for destruction?
Well, they will catch the answer from China. Anything.
Will there be a lot of states left?

If the United States delivers a full blown blow to the PRC, then it is unlikely to respond with anything.

Quote: hydrox

The United States has nothing against Russian bombing with X-32, X-555, X-55, X-102 missiles and is defenseless against the Daggers and Zircons (one Vanguard is worth it!).
The United States cannot oppose the Petrels and Poseidons, and we must not forget that the ancient Voivode is about to be replaced by Sarmat, in whose squad there is a whole horde of Yars with Maces at the ready in Sinev and on the Liners.

- And what. The X-32 has already become intercontinental or has appeared in service with the TU-95 ????
- Non-nuclear X-555 - are the Americans afraid of it too ???
- X-55 and X-102. Both are subsonic, and if they are used, then only for "cleanup" in the 2-3 echelon
- And to America "Daggers will teleport to launch at a distance of 1000 km from the coast ???
- Stormcloak and Poseidon are not yet known and it is not known if they will or will turn out to be stillborn weapons systems
- Just about replaced? This is when there was NO ONE start of the SARMAT ??? Oh well
- Zircon was launched only once at a distance of 500 km, and already we are threatening them with "Zircon"
would have the opportunity to put you a dozen pluses for "grunting" in public

Therefore, Boreas with Sharks will attack cheaply and cheerfully.

What "Sharks" ??? The two that sucked 15 years?

Quote: Tusv

Moreover, through Canada, and there is no missile defense

Yeah. Especially if you do not take into account that out of 48 strategic interceptor missiles, 44 are in Alaska ...

Quote: hydrox

No, well, let's be honest: are their Ajis comparable with our S-400 in terms of performance characteristics?

How is a missile defense? Several orders of magnitude higher. As a means of intercepting aerodynamic targets - in terms of performance characteristics, it is slightly worse than with the S-400

Quote: hydrox

Interestingly, Andrei :: somehow it so happened that after all the unfair and fraudulent reductions in the number of both carriers and YaBG, Russia turned out to have N more of these BGs than the Yankes ... the devil only knows how the Americans thought. .. or they need to read Magnitsky's course "Arithmetic" from 1840, or Oxford should be tinkering around the table ...

Do you have alternative mathematics? Since when have 1326 deployed strategic warheads of Russia turned out to be more than 1373 from the Americans ???

Quote: hydrox

And even if they guess, they still don’t have weapons-grade plutonium in order to restore parity.

Of course not. Approximately 60 tons of weapons grade plutonium is called no. Both the speech of the American minister and the posts of the commentators are of about the same order. Both he and most of the commentators are ordinary uryakalka

[spectr]

Usually, when companies want to get money from the defense industry, the cry begins that the United States is shamelessly behind its competitors. It then follows from the same speech that money for the development of nuclear potential will be given, but less than requested.

[VLADIMIR VLADIVOSTOK]

They would also say that there is no default down! They just didn't announce it!

[Gloomy skeptic]

When the Americans declare that they have "superiority" over the entire planet at least in anything, it means that they have a complete collapse in this area and they simply do not know what to grab onto in the first place, since there are no developments, no ideas, technologies are outdated in the last century, and there is NO money either.

[Sergey Sfiedu]

“When the Americans declare that they have“ superiority ”over the entire planet in any way,” it means that elections are just around the corner, that's all.

You are absolutely right, Dmitry !. It has always been. The "trick" with bombers at the air parade in Tushino in the 50s led the Americans to talk about "lagging" in bombers. As a result, more than 700 B-52s were made, while the number of Soviet strategists was several times smaller.
Regular demonstrations at the parade on Red Square of missile systems, some of which were ordinary mock-ups and did not reach the series, led the Americans to talk about the backlog of missiles. They threw a lot of money on this and as a result we had to catch up with them.
So with this performance. Most likely they would like to receive a lot and at once, but alas. all this money is extended for a decade. And they would like everything at once

No, this is not a failure, but a purely PR move to show that America is as strong as before. And more likely not even for the "old" allies, but for the "new recruits" ... The old ones understand that superiority in the triad could be achieved at the level of the 50-70s of the last century. Now they have parity with Russia. And others - others their triad really surpasses. But the main thing is sometimes lack of agreement in statements. Them. the American triad really surpasses the triad of the People's Republic of China, and indeed of all other nuclear countries ...
As for ideas, developments and technologies - all this to one degree or another is. It’s stupid to think that Americans have a complete failure with this

[Sergey Sfiedu]

“Now they have parity with Russia.” - uh, is it really parity? The most invulnerable part of the strategic nuclear forces - the SLBM - the Yankees have clearly better and more. and they have an order of magnitude more sea-based Tomahawks than our sea-based and air-based missiles (for some reason, all the sofa experts have forgotten about sea-based missiles), Yars and Topol are light missiles, no better than Minutemans ... Voevods and UR-100N UTTKh have long since retired, and their mines are vulnerable. However, 100% parity is not needed - the ability to inflict such a blow on the enemy is enough that "the nation does not have enough bulldozers to rake corpses on the city streets" - and world peace is guaranteed.

In this case, the strategic triad does not take into account the Tomahawks, which have not been in the nuclear version for 15 years already. And the parity in carriers and charges, in principle, is preserved thanks to the START-3 treaty (which many haut)
