Nuclear Arsenal Expansion Projected To Rival France

France is conducting a modernization of its nuclear arsenals. This process includes the deployment of new delivery systems capable of launching nuclear weapons. The modernization strategy places a emphasis on utilizing advanced technologies, including unmanned aerial vehicles. France is reportedly considering expanding its nuclear strategy to encompass all of Europe. The administration has ordered an increase in the quantity of nuclear weapons. Officials are currently studying the nuances of providing non-nuclear states access to nuclear planning and weapons. A country is reportedly producing weapons-grade material for up to 20 nuclear weapons per year. This production trajectory could allow the arsenal to rival France's stockpile in size within the next decade. The expansion may be accelerated by building or enhancing facilities that produce fissile material. The arsenal could surpass those of Israel, Pakistan, and the United Kingdom within ten years. The report follows an early morning social media post from President Trump regarding the matter.
