I'm reading this and finding myself going towards the direction of thinking "Dr. Strangelove was set such a simpler, safer time".

All that aside, an interesting article.

edit/ To bring it all together, The photo in the article of the christening of the drone seems very much Dr. Strangelove.

I love the skeuomorphic design of the Boya Gongdao Robot Technology Robo-Shark shown in the article. Looks like they anodized it into a Space Gray shade too for that extra touch, at least in the render.

Seems naive that, as the article claims, nations might agree to limit their detection technology to enhance survivability of their adversaries’ nuclear forces.

If “ocean transparency” comes to pass, it seems much likelier that we’d have to deal with a realignment of the MAD calculus.

by the mentioned 2050 MAD would probably include space based (free flying as well as Moon and asteroids based) components.

Worth noting that the Outer Space Treaty prohibits “weapons of mass destruction” in space, though that is generally interpreted to apply only to nuclear weapons.

At least for the US why not keep one or more nuclear missile subs in the Great Lakes?

Lake Superior alone covers 31,700 square miles to an average depth of 483 feet. It’s far to large an area to target with a first strike and well protected from non US/Canadian forces.

Edit: A US/Canadian treaty demilitarized the Great Lakes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rush–Bagot_Treaty
