🇺🇸 The US Army's nuclear missile arsenal and associated infrastructure are seriously outdated and require updating, The Wall Street Journal reports.

According to the publication, the Pentagon estimates the cost of upgrading hundreds of missile silos with nuclear warheads at $141 billion. It is also noted that the replacement of intercontinental ballistic missiles is envisaged as part of the Sentinel ICBM production program.

The article says that recent statements from U.S. military officials and contractors indicate that efforts to extend the life of the nuclear arsenal have reached their limits. The missiles housed in more than 450 silos expired decades ago after their expected 10-year lifespans. The underground silos require thousands of miles of new fiber-optic cables, and the command centers that control the missiles are in need of renovation.
