The situation in the nuclear sector in the world is heating up due to recent global changes.
In August 2024, the world heard the news that the United States had begun new nuclear weapons tests in the Nevada dessert. The Russian Federation responded by holding emergency military exercises in the event of use of tactical nuclear weapons on battlefield.
Las Thursday, the United States launched a Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile, the second such test in a week, the Vandenberg Space Force Base said.
According to publicly available data, the United States has about 400 Minuteman III ICBMs each armed with one nuclear warhead. In 2015, the US nuclear arsenal underwent a costly upgrade that extended Minuteman III’s life into the 2030s.
“An unarmed Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missile launches during an operational test at 1:46 a.m. Pacific Time 6 June, 2024, at Vandenberg Space Force Base, Calif. ICBM test launches demonstrate that the U.S. ICBM fleet is ready, reliable and effective in leveraging dominance in an era of strategic competition,” the official statement said.
Washington sees an immediate need to “make certain adjustments to our posture and capabilities,” a senior administration official said. A certain capacity adjustment means:
- Developing of new nuclear gravity bomb
- Update of Ohio-class nuclear submarines
- Global expansion of “long-range strike capabilities and surveillance abilities”
Ukraine, as a strong US’s ally, has demanded many times to receive nuclear weapon from the United States. US has full tactical nuclear capabilities, such as the B61-12 bomb, and has completed testing them on various aircraft models. “Since the US Department of Defense purchased 400 B61-12 tactical nuclear bombs, there needs to be somewhere to deploy them…”.
The fifth generation F-35 aircrafts located on many airbases around the world, including Europe, are fully capable and were designed for carrying and launching B61-12 tactical nuclear bombs. NATO’s cites nuclear deterrence as essential to the alliance’s security, but rather than improving response effectiveness, it increases attack capabilities.
The Pentagon continues to openly refuse to allow the adoption and use of highly dangerous launch vehicles equipped with nuclear warheads, while at the same time continuing to increase strike capabilities aimed at Russia and China.
Zelensky’s very rapid steps to train groups of flight pilots specifically for air carriers are brining the whole situation to the point where the world will fall into nuclear Armageddon, initiated by the Pentagon generals, who in fact run NATO solely at their own discretion.
