Atomwaffen: Teure „Modernisierung“
(23.10.2020)
Die Gesamtkosten für die geplante „Modernisierung“ des US-Atomwaffenarsenals steigen immer weiter, berichtet Defensenews.com: „The Pentagon has raised to $95.8 billion the estimated cost of fielding a new fleet of land-based nuclear missiles to replace the Minuteman 3 arsenal that has operated continuously for 50 years, officials said Monday. The estimate is up about $10 billion from four years ago. The weapons, known as intercontinental ballistic missiles, or ICBMs, are intended as part of a near-total replacement of the American nuclear force over the next few decades at a total cost of more than $1.2 trillion.” (jw)
