US HAS NO MORE MINUTEMAN MIRVED WARHEADS
Despite Russia backing out of this treaty and forging ahead with new missiles with multiple warheads (a technology Nixon and Kissinger sold to Russia), the US just finished removing all of the triple MIRVED warheads on all US Minuteman ICBMs:
The Minuteman ICBMs were previously configured to carry up to THREE multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles, (MIRV), that were each armed with a nuclear warhead and able to hit THREE separate targets from a single missile launch.
On June 16, maintainers at Malmstrom removed the LAST of the extra MIRVs on a Minuteman Missile in the 341st Missile Wing’s inventory. The 2010 Nuclear Posture Review, a U.S. national security strategy document, dictated [unilaterally, I might add] that all Minuteman III missiles be reconfigured to carry only one MIRV with ONE warhead.
Anyone who still thinks that the US intends to defend America with its arsenal of nuclear weapons is just kidding themselves.
