Due to increasing geopolitical tensions within the region of Haven, and also in part because of war rumors within nearby nations, Kelanis is increasing its strategic deterrent force by a significant amount.

The following inventory changes have already been implemented. New silos and their missiles should be ready to go within a year.

25 MD330 'Emperor Leviathan' 135 megaton 3-stage thermonuclear warheads mounted on twenty-five individual ICBMs; planned increase to 50 (3375000 kT)

350 MD300 'Leviathan II' 35 megaton 2-stage thermonuclear warheads mounted on 175 ICBMs; planned increase to 400 (12250000 kT)

900 MD145 'Apogee' 70-kiloton thermonuclear warheads on thirty-five IRBMs (two warheads per missile); planned increase to 1,500 (63,000 kT)

3,600 MD250 'Imperator' 550 kiloton thermonuclear warheads on seven-hundred twenty ICBMs w/5 MIRV per missile; planned increase to 4,000 (1980000 kT)

526 AS-392 'Shiva' 60-kiloton thermonuclear warheads on SS-138 'Interloper' air-launched supersonic cruise missiles; planned increase to 700 (31560 kT)

1,920 SD50 'Sunspear' 250-kiloton thermonuclear warheads on 480 'Umbral II' submarine-launched ballistic missiles; planned increase to 2,000 (480000 kT)

1,000 NW3 'Scorch' low-yield high-intensity neutron weapons; planned increase to 1,500 (not factored into yield)

(OOC: There are more warheads than listed here, which are N-O-T factored into the final yield- they just weren't increased. Those not listed include nuclear gravity bombs, SRBMs, MRBMs, orbital nuclear weapons, and surface ship weapons.)

Total nuclear force yield: 18,179,560 kilotons/18179.56 megatons/18.18 gigatons

Total planned nuclear force yield: 23,597,000 kilotons/23597.00 megatons/23.597 gigatons

Approach at your own risk.

Did you receive our 100 Perun's Hammer Neutron (Neutrino) ordinance?

Affirmative IV. The warheads are being removed from the missiles and are being shifted into MIRVs aboard IRBMs, ICBMs, and heavy railgun shells.
