The US is devising an advanced conventional weapon of new strength called ‘Prompt Global Strike’ which can reduce dependence on atomic weapons,as it aims to accomplish great tasks without crossing nuke threshold,a media report said.
President Barack Obama,in the coming years,will have to decide whether to deploy such weapons cutting the US reliance on nuclear weapons,the New York Times said in its report.
Concerns about the technology are so strong that the Obama administration has agreed to Russia’s demand that the US decommission one nuclear missile for every one of these conventional weapons fielded by the Pentagon.
