Therefore, I don't think everything is developing in the nuclear war, but we have prepared for this."
He added that the United States is also developing nuclear forces, but this does not mean that the United States will immediately launch nuclear war."They are enhancing modernization and innovation in this area, and they have a response plan. We also understand this. They are developing all (nuclear weapons) components, and we are."
"Weapons are used. We have our own principles."
