This article debates on the extended deterrent value of the US’s new low-yield nuclear weapons that were developed since 2018 Nuclear Posture Review. Building what this study calls a capability-first approach to extended deterrence, this study argues that the new nukes may retrofit and enhance robustness of the ROK-US extended deterrence. Beginning with review on existing debate on the new nukes, I posit that the ‘cons’ of these new nukes may be overblown. Second, I deliberate on the three-Cs of extended deterrence and why capability-first approach is important. Third, the article delves into the technical specifications of the new nukes and illustrates how they can retrofit US’s nuclear umbrella in the region. Lastly, I conclude that although these new nukes are no cure-all, the new nukes will work as new means to revamp fear among adversaries and set bounds to their military aggressions.
