Nuclear Weapon

A recent report released satellite images showing increasing activities in North Korea’s Nuclear Scientific Research Center Studies complex.

New reports prove that the Chinese nuclear arsenal has been constructed with the aid of American technology.

The recent claim by Kim Jong Un that North Korea plans to develop the world’s most powerful nuclear force may well have been more bravado than credible threat.

If nuclear weapons are used in Ukraine, it won’t be Russia that starts it, says Russian president Vladimir Putin – ostensibly seeking to reassure the world while also delivering an arch reminder that he does, after all, have the power to swing the world’s largest nuclear arsenal into action if he chooses.

What are nuclear bunker busters? This question has been on many people’s minds lately, especially in light of the nuclear threats from North Korea and Russia.

The United States has had a complicated relationship with a nuclear power over the years. Initially, the government was very supportive of it, but that sentiment changed in the 1970s after the Three Mile Island accident.

Today, the US relies almost entirely on million-dollar Lockheed Martin tractor-trailers to transport nuclear weapons, but during the Cold war, they depended on the so-called “white trains.”

While some within the United States are still content to dispute the idea that Moscow uses a combination of state-run media outlets and social media outreach […]

Russia’s devastatingly powerful Poseidon drone sub, formerly known as the Ocean Multipurpose System Status-6, was once thought to be nothing more than propaganda-fueled legend. Last year, American intelligence services drew headlines the world over when they confirmed the weapon was indeed real. This week, Russia released the first-ever footage of the weapon being “field tested.” […]

Pentagon officials are mulling over a new initiative that would involve arming F-35 Joint Strike Fighters with ballistic missile interceptors that would be fired like a traditional air-to-air weapon at launching intercontinental ballistic missiles. Over the next six months, the Pentagon intends to determine whether such a strategy is feasible–both technically and financially–but at least […]
