Nuclear Challenges: The Growing Capabilities of Strategic Competitors and Regional Rivals

Excerpt:  “Countries with mature nuclear weapons programs are increasing stockpiles and/or program capabilities. Russia, China, and North Korea are modernizing their legacy stockpiles by incorporating advanced technologies to penetrate or avoid missile defense systems. Countries are also developing nuclear weapons with smaller yields, improved precision, and increased range for military or coercive use. … Strategic competitors and regional rivals to the United States continue to develop new nuclear weapon-capable delivery systems. These new systems often have longer range, better accuracy, and in some cases, a greater capability to defeat missile defenses.”
