Pentagon's $1billion plan to buy 1,000 long-range stealth thermonuclear missiles
2023-11-13
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The Pentagon is planning to buy up to 1,000 new long-range nuclear missiles amid growing alarm over China's ballooning arsenal of doomsday weapons.

It comes as Joe Biden is set to meet Chinese president Xi Jinping face-to-face for the first time in a year next week in San Francisco at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit.

The new missiles will be carried by B-52 bombers and, ultimately, the new futuristic B-21 Raider stealth bomber, which made its first test flight in California on Friday.

China has recently surged its production of nuclear warheads.
