The United States is facing multiple nuclear competitors and there may be a need for adjustments to be made to the 2022 Nuclear Posture Review, according to Richard C. Johnson, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Nuclear and Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Policy .
He further stated that the US nuclear modernization program of record might be insufficient going forward.Johnson stated that the DOD, in partnership with the National Nuclear Security Administration, has taken some steps to field capabilities to enhance the country’s nuclear deterrence. The 491 report also accounts for the new challenges that the US faces because of the growth, modernization, and increasing diversity of potential adversaries’ arsenals.
It also calls for the US to enable deeper consultation, coordination, and combined planning with allies and partners to strengthen extended deterrence commitments. The SIPRI Yearbook 2024 also stated that Russia is on top of the military stockpile list with 4,380 nukes. The number is not that China’s arsenal increased from 410 warheads in January 2023 to 500 in January 2024, and it is expected to keep growing. It is an approximate 20% rise in a single year, which is massive.
