US deploys ‘more survivable’ low-yield nuclear weapon for launch from submarines

The US Defense Department said on Tuesday the Navy had fielded a low-yield submarine-launched ballistic missile warhead, something the Pentagon believes is needed to deter adversaries like Russia but which critics say lowers the threshold for using. Low-yield nuclear weapons, while still devastating, have a strength of less than 20 kilotons.

A 2018 Pentagon document called for the military to expand its low-yield nuclear capability, saying the United States would modify a small number of submarine-launched ballistic missile warheads with low-yield options.
