U.S. Needs to Bolster Nuclear Arsenal and Missile Defense, Experts Say

Senator Jon Kyl participated in a panel at the Reagan National Security Forum and is quoted in a National Defense article regarding U.S. nuclear arsenal and missile defense. According to Kyl, the bill to upgrade the nuclear enterprise will be “massive.” “We’ve allowed it to atrophy and we’ve allowed a lot of obligations to pile up that should have been taken care of” earlier, he says. “All three legs of the triad have basically run out of their life and need to be replaced all at the same time. We should never have allowed that to happen.”
