Talk:Enduring Stockpile

Explain "mothballed". We're not all WMD experts here. --  李博杰   | —Talk contribs 11:35, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

^^ mothballed is a generic term for something that is no longer in use. In this context it means the weapons still exist but they are no longer being stored inside the delivery vehicles and it would take considerable time (over a week) to get them operational and delivered on a target.

Typo: "is the United States's" should be "is the United States'". The trailing 's' on States' should not be there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.113.152.17 (talk) 17:30, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Update badly needed!
This page is in desperate need of an update. The last date mentioned is the ratification of New START by the Duma in January 2011 - over 6 years ago. At a minimum, it would be nice to include current/recent estimates of the contents of the stockpile, broken down into weapon types (ICBMs, SLBMs, bombs). Ideally, it would be nice to have a list by warhead type any any weapon(s) they are currently attached to, with wikilinks of course. I also don't see why the Duma ratification dates are necessary, it would be much clearer to simply state the date the various treaties went into effect, and progress in achieving the treaty's goals since that time. I don't think there have been any new treaties or agreements since New START, but I may be mistaken. Finally, as the existing template (from 2013, mind you) already says, this article needs specific inline citations. DadOfBeanAndBug (talk) 22:58, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
