Moscow is concerned about the creation of the US new nuclear warheads
Any missile attack from a U.S. submarine will be met with a nuclear strike from Russia, said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova. This is fully consistent with Russian military doctrine. So she commented on the rearmament of American Trident-2 submarines with low-power nuclear missiles.

“As we have explained more than once, we consider such a step to be dangerous. We believe that it is such an element of destabilization, ”Zakharova emphasized. US actions are aimed at blurring the boundaries between strategic and non-strategic nuclear weapons, which leads to a lower nuclear threshold. This position was reached not only in Russia, but by representatives of the academic community around the world, and even in the US Congress.
Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the US release of low-power nuclear missiles W76-2 leads to a lower nuclear threshold, which is very dangerous for the whole world. The new warhead weighs 5-6 kilotons, and the capacity of the old W76-1 is 100 kilotons.
