In a press release earlier today, The Mondothian Government stated that it was undertaking a project to assess several retired military installations for possible reactivation. Among the installations listed were more than twenty nuclear missile sites deactivated shortly after the Stanwin Administration under-went its isolationist transformation. If these sites are approved for reactivation, they will undergo a refit and modernization program before accepting as many as five inter-continental missiles each, though officials say that if approved, less than half of the installations' capacities will be used for nuclear weapons and that the remaining capacity will be used to increase strategic defenses by housing anti-missile systems. Even if the majority of the sites are used for defense systems, this will mark the largest increase of the Mondothian strategic arsenal ever, more than doubling present stocks of nuclear weapons.
The press release stated that this strategic increase, along with the various defensive re-activations listed are a necessary step in a more aggressive foreign policy in the aftermath of Stanwin's isolationist policies.
These activations come in the wake of a Naval reorganization and recent contracts by the Air Command for a large number of F/A-24 Kestrel fighters to replace current stocks of F/S-41 air superiority fighters in service and reserves.
