Why is the Nuclear Triad needed if nuclear subs can’t be realistically countered?
In: Technology
Most nations do not follow the Triad anymore. Arguably only the US does seriously, and it’s the one with the most money.
France and the UK have the primary deterrent on submarines. Israel has tactical platforms and missiles. China has missiles and is starting submarines. Russia has all three but hasn’t built a new bomber in 40 years and lacks the money and probably technical skill to do so.
India and Pakistan have no long range aircraft or ballistic subs.
