Former expert at the Pentagon on strategic arms mark Schneider reported that these data only approve of the words of the domestic authorities, who at the time of the ratification of start-3 promised to increase their own nuclear forces. The increase of Russia's nuclear weapons more likely, says Schneider, is associated with the delivery of the arms 2 fresh nuclear submarines of the class Northwind.
Note that in 2010, the countries signed the start-3 Treaty, which implied a reduction of nuclear weapons and their means of delivery. So, nuclear weapons, according to this document must be kept 1,550, and ballistic missiles, submarines and heavy bombers - 700. And yet, from March 2013 the number of nuclear warheads in the United States increased by 57 units. Domestic reaction ensured the adoption in the country 131 additional nuclear warhead.
