The United States has limited the reduction of old nuclear weapons, and it is too confident and has led to backwardness

The landlords have no surplus food, and the US Congress has now passed relevant bills to limit the reduction of nuclear weapons and nuclear warheads. Why? Because there is no timetable for the new "triad" strategic nuclear forces of the United States, it can only limit the old nuclear weapons from being eliminated or decommissioned.

Let's take a look at two pieces of news, the draft prepared by the U.S. House of Representatives points out that the United States may ban the number of ICBMs to less than 400 in 2025. This missile refers to the "Minuteman III" missile, which at its peak was 450 missiles, and has now dropped to nearly 400 missiles. Why did it fall? Because the "Minuteman III" missile constantly has to be tested on target.

But we know that as a land-based ICBM of the United States, now only "Minuteman III.", and the new ICBM "Sentinel" has no timetable until now, and it is expected that it will be able to replace "Minuteman III" in 2030. So the US House of Representatives means that now in order to support its status as a nuclear power, it seems that it is necessary to reduce the number of tests to ensure that the number of "Minuteman III" missiles cannot be less than 400.

Not only that, but the U.S. Congress also proposes to ban the decommissioning of thermonuclear warheads in 2025, mainly referring to the warheads of the W76 model, which are mainly used on Ohio-class strategic missile nuclear submarines and their "Trident-2D5" missiles.

This is what we have seen with you, because the United States is now unable to have a definite timetable for the new "triad" strategic nuclear forces, it can only limit its old weapons and equipment, either not decommissioning or reducing the number of weapons, so as to ensure that it can form strategic stability against other nuclear powers.

Russia's nuclear weapons have been updated, and from 2010 to the present, almost 90% of nuclear weapons have been updated. However, as the United States, because its planning in this regard was relatively late, and because it was full of confidence in the previous nuclear weapons, it had become backward in technology in this regard, so it could only tear down the east wall and make up the west wall to ensure that the integrity and completeness of the existing nuclear weapons were enhanced and that they would avoid encountering an embarrassing situation.
