The Nuclear Triad refers to a military strategy that involves three distinct platforms for delivering nuclear weapons. These platforms include land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs), and strategic bombers. This combination ensures a robust and flexible nuclear deterrent, making it difficult for adversaries to eliminate a country's nuclear capability in a first strike. By having multiple delivery systems, the Nuclear Triad enhances national security and deterrence. If one platform is compromised, the others remain operational, ensuring a second-strike capability. This strategy is employed by countries like the United States and Russia to maintain a balance of power and prevent nuclear conflict.
