摘要

In 1988, just before the Cold War faded out, America's strategic nuclear deterrent boasted some 13,000 warheads, but two subsequent decades of negotiated cuts have reduced the total to roughly 2,000 "operationally deployed" weapons.rnWarhead losses of such magnitude inevitably have rippled through the fleet of delivery vehicles built to carry the weapons to targets. Entire categories have vanished. Remaining types are fewer in number and fitted with smaller weapon loads.rnTo date, no US Administration has ever seriously considered abandoning the "triad" of land-based ICBMs, bombers,rnand missile-firing submarines. Its continuation, however, is no longer the stone-cold, lead-pipe cinch that it once was.rnSecretary of Defense Robert M. Gates said change could emerge from the current Quadrennial Defense Review and new arms talks withrnRussia. "If we go down significantly in the number of nuclear weapons that we have deployed, the question is whether the traditional triad makes sense anymore," he said in remarks at Maxwell AFB, Ala.
