The Defense Intelligence Agency has released a new publication describing the current nuclear capabilities of foreign adversaries.
 
The report, Nuclear Challenges: The Growing Capabilities of Strategic Competitors and Regional Rivals, is the second edition in DIA’s authoritative unclassified product series. Global Nuclear Landscape was first published in early 2018 to address the nuclear programs of China, Russia, and North Korea.
 
Authored by DIA’s Defense Counterproliferation Office, this edition provides an updated, unclassified overview of the nuclear programs of Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran.
 
DIA has a long history of producing comprehensive, authoritative defense intelligence overviews. In 1981, DIA published the first unclassified Soviet Military Power report, which was translated into eight languages and distributed around the world.
 
DIA published the report as part of ongoing transparency efforts to inform key publics of challenges, developments, and future projections regarding nuclear security. This report underscores DIA’s role as the United States’ authority on foreign military intelligence analysis.
 
Information within the report is considered current as of June 1, 2024.
