(Stockholm Composite Electric) The annual report published on Monday (June 12), Monday (June 12), the Swedish think tank in Swedish Think Tank.Nuclear military reserve has increased, and other nuclear military countries have continued to modernize nuclear weapons.
The number of global nuclear military in the past 30 years has declined steadily, mainly Russia and the United States have gradually demolished nuclear warheads.But Dan Smith, the director of SIPRI, said that the world is approaching or may have reached the end of the number of nuclear weapons.
The report said that the total number of nuclear warheads of nine nuclear warheads of nine nuclear warriors, the nine nuclear warheads of the British, China, France, India, Israel, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia, and the United States, from 12,710 in early 2022 to 122512 in early 2023EssenceHowever, 9,576 nuclear warheads were available, more than 86 more than the previous year.Among them, the largest increase is China, and the nuclear warhead inventory increased from 350 to 410.
India, Pakistan, and North Korea have also increased their nuclear military arsenal, and Russia has increased smaller, from 4,477 to 4,489, and the remaining nuclear military countries still maintain their nuclear military scale.
Although the United Nations Security Council's five permanent members of the United States, Russia, China, Britain, and France issued a statement in 2021 saying that "nuclear war cannot be won and must not be played", the number of available nuclear warheads has increased.
SIPRI statistics distinguish the total inventory from the available reserves. The total inventory includes the old nuclear warhead that has been demolished.
Nuclear bombs are the highest in Russia and the United States and China
At present, the country with the largest number of nuclear bombs is Russia and the United States, which adds about 90 % of the ups and downs, and the third place is China.
Sipri researcher Christensen said that China's nuclear arsenal is expanding significantly. "This trend is increasingly inconsistent with China's claim, that is, it will only have the minimum nuclear weapons to maintain national security."Smith also said: "What we see is that China is rising with world power, which is the reality of our era."
The report said that in February last year, Russia's invasion of Ukraine had frustrated the global efforts to reduce nuclear weapons.For example, the United States has therefore suspended a stable dialogue with Russia's bilateral strategy.Russia announced in February this year that The new cut strategic weapon treaty signed with the United States in 2010 (New Start), this is the last military -controlling treaty in the United States and Russia.
Since last year, Russia has increasingly talked about the risk of nuclear war.Russian President Putin once said that he has put Russia's nuclear deterrence power in a high degree of alertness.
SIPRI researcher Koda pointed out that most nuclear military countries are strengthening the importance of nuclear weapons. "Nuclear military competition upgrades have greatly increased the risk of nuclear weapons that may be used in one go. This is the first situation since the World War II."
In addition, SIPRI is estimated that 3844 nuclear warheads are currently installed on missiles and aircraft.About 2,000 of them belong to Russia or the United States, and they are in a highly alert state, which means that they are installed on a missile or stored on the air force base with nuclear bombers.
