Line 69:
The matter briefly returned to the spotlight in 2014 when the Kingdom's ''Kraken''-class submarines were equipped with the RBS 20 Fångstarm cruise missile, which were thought to be capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. If true, this would give the Kingdom a viable second-strike capability, albeit a limited one given that the ''Kraken''-class is powered by diesel-electric engines and the Fångstarm has not demonstrated a range beyond 1,500 km.
The strongest indication of a Cryrian nuclear deterrent was unveiled in 2018 when the CDF unveiled the development of the Lielsta series of missiles as a part of the Kingdom's defense investments
Thus, when accounting for the known quantities of these and other related systems, it is estimated that a hypothetical Cryrian nuclear arsenal would be limited to roughly 100-200 deliverable warheads.
