US senator said that the United States has no protection against Russian missiles
Russia still poses a significant nuclear threat to the United States, says Roger Wicker Ranking Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee
The United States does not have the means of protection against modern Russian strategic weapons, including Poseidon nuclear torpedoes. This was stated on Thursday by Senator Roger Wicker (Republican from Mississippi) at a hearing in the Senate Armed Services Committee.
"Russia still poses a significant nuclear threat to the United States. Moscow has a larger and more modern nuclear arsenal than we do. It can also create additional nuclear weapons in a short time," he said.
Wicker added that "Russia has created nuclear weapons that have no analogues in the United States, including nuclear torpedoes capable of crossing the ocean, as well as intercontinental ballistic missiles." "This is a weapon from which we have no protection," he pointed out.
The senator also noted the growing danger to the United States from China. "Beijing is modernizing and expanding its nuclear forces at an eye-popping rate. It will probably overtake the US in the early 2030s," Wicker continued.
