 | NET ASSESSMENT AND 21ST CENTURY STRATEGIC COMPETITION By Center for Global Security Research
In Congressional testimony, the Strategic Commander reviews the strategic deterrence
landscape, especially the challenges posed by China and Russia. Both nuclear powers are
modernizing their forces and pursuing new nuclear and non-nuclear capabilities to
weaken U.S. strategic deterrence. While Russia remains the pacing threat for U.S. nuclear
forces, China, Adm. Richard argued, is no longer a “lesser included case.” China will soon
have a credible nuclear triad, capable regional ...Read more > | 19 Pages 524.19 KB |

 | JOINT NET ASSESSMENT : US AND SOVIET STRATEGIC FORCES By Director of Centra! Intelligence
The strategic nuclear balance is probably adequate to deter a direct nuclear attack on the United States or a major attack on Europe. The Soviets, in our view, have some clear advantages today, and these advantages are projected to continue, although differences may narrow somewhat in the next 10 years.

defense systems could turn available financial, human, and material
resources into actual military power. ...Read more > | 49 Pages 764.20 KB |
