US Nuclear Weapons 'Dangerously Out of Date,’ Senators Warn

The United States’ nuclear weapons are outdated, US senators Roger Wicker (Republican of Mississippi) and Debra Fischer (Republican of Nebraska) said in an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal. 

"America’s nuclear weapons are dangerously out of date. Our safety depends on funding and timely deployment of the Sentinel ICBM," the article’s title and subheading say, TASS reported.

According to the senators, critical updates to the US arsenal "are underfunded and behind schedule." "Congress and the White House must act quickly to solve these problems and prevent more from emerging," the lawmakers emphasized.
