Abstract

The article focuses on the issue regarding the desirability of dual preparedness which refers to an ability to engage limited wars without superbomb and its ability to retaliate. This issue began due to the conflict regarding the preference for supreme concentration deterrent and strategic bombers and missiles at the other forces expense. In addition, the issue is affected by the question about the availability of military force total resources and the weakening of supreme deterrent through a diversion of funds to military capabilities. Furthermore, it is still believed that dual preparedness is still more expensive since total military budgets, added bombers and missiles are suffering disadvantages.
