Few Days ago I share an article about American Nuclear Arsenal is not the most top notch: latimes/nation/la-na-nukes-silos-20141110-story.html#page=1 here is another article about overhaul decision being made by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. This shows the reality of superpower state of our time. The reviews also found that a combination of problems amount to fundamental flaws, rather than random or periodic slip-ups that can easily be fixed, the defense officials said. They said the nuclear forces are currently meeting the demands of the mission, but are finding it increasingly hard to cope. To illustrate the degree of decay in the ICBM force, the review found that maintenance crews had access to only one tool set required to tighten bolts on the warhead end of the Minuteman 3 missile, and that this single tool set was being used by crews at all three ICBM bases. They had to share it via Federal Express delivery, the defense officials said. The crews now have one at each of the three bases. When he ordered the two reviews in February, shortly after the Air Force announced it was investigating an exam-cheating ring at one ICBM base and a related drug investigation implicating missile crew members, Hagel was said to be flabbergasted that such misbehavior could be infecting the force.
