You have some of this entirely backwards...One thing that does not get talked about is that increasingly the Russian nuclear missiles are solid fuel, which means they can be loaded up on trucks and taken anywhere in the vast Russian territory....what we can take out in a first strike keeps going down.
America however relies on very old liquid fuel missiles in silos (which may or may not work....America knows they need to be replaced....has been trying and failing to build something).
Minutemen are solid, you are right.....but the Russians know where they are....we dont know where many of theirs are......and the Russians have a high functioning modern nuclear missile program were we do not.....our stuff is out of date and we have failed at replacing them.You have some of this entirely backwards...
Every nuclear missile in our submarine fleet is solid state fuel, while Russia still has some liquid fuel missiles on their submarines...
Now some US silos still have liquid fuel missiles, but most do not.
They have no idea where our subs are, we have far more of them, and we have a crapton we can deliver quickly. You should not believe Russian propaganda about their magic missiles either. There is a reason some of our old equipment in the hands of Ukrainians have held them at bay for so long and it isn't because they have the "bestest stuffs ever".Minutemen are solid, you are right.....but the Russians know where they are....we dont know where many of theirs are......and the Russians have a high functioning modern nuclear missile program were we do not.....our stuff is out of date and we have failed at replacing them.
That is I am still right on most, and the important parts.
