War on the Rocks · United States · Russia holds the line, for now, after New START
Argues Russia is 'running to stand still': its modernization replaces aging Soviet systems rather than expanding numbers, and a sprint past New START limits would be costly and slow. Plays down imminent breakout despite the treaty's lapse.
“Russian modernization largely sustains parity rather than building toward it; a rapid breakout would be expensive and offer little strategic gain.”
