Pentagon Seeks Strategic Arms Shifts
The Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) calls for cutting the force of 94 nuclear-capable B-52 bombers to 56 planes for cost savings that would be used toward outfitting “B-52s, B-1s, and B-2s to support global strike operations.” An Air Force spokesperson told Arms Control Today Feb. 24 that the remaining B-52s would retain their nuclear role.
The review envisions fielding a new “penetrating long-range strike capability” by 2018.

Opening Pandora’s Box: How RNEP and RRW could affect the U.S. nuclear stockpile
When Congress decided to stop funding research on the Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator (RNEP), the opponents of the program cheered. However, the very same bill that cut RNEP funding allocated funds to the Reliable Replacement Warhead (RRW) Program.
The proposed study of the RNEP included modifying two existing nuclear weapons to allow them to hit buried targets—the B61 (which is already the basis for the B61-11 earth penetrator), but also the B83 air-dropped bomb. The B61-11 had been designed by encasing the Nuclear Explosive Package (NEP) from an earlier bomb design in hardened steel with a new nose cone in the hopes of improved ground penetration capability.

Cold Warrior Confessions
We're nervous about the threat of nuclear weapons in the hands of Iran and North Korea. But the specter of the Russian bomb has been laid to rest. The apocalypse will not arrive riding on the shoulders of a Soviet-built ICBM. Or will it?
