Nine countries that have nuclear weapons and what it threatens the world. Northern Korea's nuclear potential: How is the threat of international security? Nuclear Potential of the DPRK

North Korea successfully experienced an intercontinental rocket, but this is not the only country that threatens the world with nuclear weapons

The US military believe that the next rocket, which the DPRK launched, refers to the intercontinental class. Specialists say that it is capable of achieving Alaska, which means that the US direct threat.

"Gift for Yankee"

Rocket "Hwanson-14" North Korea launched in the morning on Tuesday, July 4th. On this day, Independence Day is celebrated in America. The rocket flew 933 km in 39 minutes - not far, but this is because it was launched very high. The highest point of the trajectory was at a distance of 2 802 km above sea level.

She fell into the sea between North Korea and Japan.

But if Pyongyang had a goal to attack any country, the rocket would be able to overcome the distance of 7,000-8,000 km, which is enough to achieve not only Japan, but also Alaska.

North Korea declares that it is capable of staffing his rocket with a nuclear warhead. Specialists from nuclear weapons doubt whether Pyongyang has at the moment the technology that would allow to produce fairly compact warheads.

However, the tests "Hwanson-14" occurred earlier and went more successfully than was supposed, noted in the comments for Reuters American expert from missile armament John Shilling.

"Even if it is a rocket with a radius of action of 7000 km, a rocket with a radius of action of 10,000 km, which can hit New York - a nearby prospect," said the New York Times newspaper head of the non-proliferation program of nuclear weapons in East Asia Institute of International Research Middlbury Jeffrey Lewis.

The launch demonstrated that no sanctions on the DPRK act. On the contrary, the threats only stimulate the leader of the country Kim Jong Yana and on the naval weapons and demonstrate the power of their arsenal.

After the test, he, according to the state news agency of North Korea, said that the United States would not like the "package of gifts on their independence day." Kim Chen Yun ordered scientists and the military "more often to send big and small" gift bags "more often.

China and Russia made a joint statement in which the DPRK encourages its rocket and nuclear program, while the United States and South Korea - to refrain from conducting large-scale military exercises.

However, in Washington, they did not listen to the views of Moscow and Beijing. On Wednesday morning, they conducted demonstration launches of Khuunm II missiles, which are able to hit targets at a distance of 800 km.

The tension is growing, and the world spoke again about the nuclear war. However, North Korea is not the only country capable of starting it. For today, seven countries officially possess a nuclear arsenal. You can safely add Israel, although he officially never recognized that he had nuclear weapons.

Russia - leader in quantity

The United States and Russia summarizes 93% of the nuclear arsenal of the world.

According to official and unofficial estimates, the Russian Federation has 7,000 nuclear weapons. Such data leads to the Stockholm International Institute for Peace Studies (SIPRI) and the American Organization Association for Arms Control (ARMS Control Association).

According to the data from which the Russian Federation and the United States exchange strategic armaments within the framework of the Agreement on the Reduction of Strategic Weapons, by April 2017, Russia had 1765 strategic warheads.

They are placed on 523 long-haul missiles, submarines and strategic bombers. But this is only a detailed, that is, ready to use nuclear weapons.

The Federation of American Scientists (FAS) suggests that Russia has about 2,700 uneven strategic, as well as deployed and uneven tactical warheads. In addition to 2510, warheads await dismantling.

Russia, according to a number of publications, the site National Interest, modernizes its nuclear weapons. And for some positions ahead of his chief enemy - the United States.

It is on them that the power of the Russian nuclear potential is mainly directed. And Russian propagandists do not get tired of reminding it. The brightest in this business was, of course, Dmitry Kiselev with his "nuclear ashol".

However, there are opposite assessments, according to which the lion's share of missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads is hopelessly outdated.

USA at the crossing

In general, Americans currently have 6,800 nuclear weapons. Of these, deployed, according to the Treaty on the Reduction of Strategic Armament for April 2017, 1411 strategic warheads. They are placed on 673 long-haul missiles, submarines and strategic bombers.

Fas assumes that 2300 uneven strategic warheads and 500 are expanded and non-verified tactical warheads. And another 2800 warheads await dismantling.

By his Arsenal, the United States threatens very many opponents, not only Russia.

For example, the same North Korea and Iran. However, according to many specialists, he is outdated and needs to be upgraded.

What is interesting, in 2010, Barack Obama and Dmitry Medvedev signed the above agreement on reducing strategic armaments, also known as a "new start". But the same Obama stimulated the deployment of the Pro System in the United States and Europe, his administration launched the process of developing and deploying new ground-based launchers for long-haul missiles.

The Trump administration has plans to continue the process of modernizing weapons, including nuclear,

Nuclear Europe

Among Europe countries are the only ones who have a nuclear arsenal - France and the United Kingdom.In the first in service 300 warheads with a nuclear charge. Most of them are equipped with a submarine. Their France has four pieces. A small amount - to start with air, with strategic bombers.

The British have 120 strategic warheads. Of these, 40 are deployed in the sea on four submarines. This, in fact, the only kind of nuclear weapon of the country - it does not have neither ground, neither the air forces armed with nuclear warheads.

In addition, in the UK there are 215 warheads that are stored on the bases, but not deployed.

Classified China

Since Beijing never announced information about his nuclear arsenal, it is possible to judge him only approximately. In June 2016, the bowellet of the nuclear scientists suggested that in general China has 260 nuclear warheads. Also available information indicates that it increases their number.

China also has all three main ways to deliver nuclear weapons - ground plants, atomic submarines and strategic bombers.

One of the Chinese newest intercontinental ballistic missiles of Dunfenc-41 (DF41) in January 2017 was located near the border with Russia. But besides complex relations with Moscow, Beijing also has a tense relationship with neighboring India.

There is also an unconfirmed theory that it is China that helps North Korea in developing its nuclear program.

Sworn neighbors

India and Pakistan, in contrast to the previous five countries, develop their nuclear program outside the contract on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons of 1968. At the same time, both countries have a long-standing enmity, regularly threaten each other with the use of force, and at the Indo-Pakistani border, armed incidents are regularly occurring.

But other conflict relationships also have in addition. For India, this is China, and for Pakistan - Israel.

Both countries do not hide the fact that they have a nuclear program, but their details are not publicly disclosed.

India, as it is believed, is in service with 100 to 120 nuclear warheads. The country is actively developing his arsenal. Some of the latest achievements have become successful tests of intercontinental missiles "Agni-5" and "Agni-6", which are able to deliver a fanitant to a distance of 5000-6000 km.

At the end of 2016, India adopted its first atomic submarine "Arichant". It also plans to purchase 36 battle aircraft "Rafal" from France, capable of carrying nuclear weapons. Currently, the country has several older aircraft for this purpose - the French "Mirage", Anglo-French Sepa "Jaguar" and the Russian Su-30.

Pakistan has in service from 110 to 130 nuclear warheads. The country began to develop a nuclear program after in 1974, India conducted the first test of nuclear weapons. It is also in the process of expanding the arsenal.

Currently, Pakistan's nuclear missiles are short and medium range. There are rumors that he is developing a Timeur intercontinental missile with a radius of 7000 km. Also, the country intends to build its own nuclear submarine. And the airplanes "Mirage" and F16, which in Pakistan, by rumors, were modified in order to bear nuclear weapons.

Puttering ambiguity of Israel

SIPRI, FAS and other organizations that are followed by the development of nuclear weapons in the world, argue that Israel has 80 nuclear warheads in service. In addition, it has reserves of a splitting material for the manufacture of another 200 warheads.

Israel, as well as India and Pakistan, did not sign an agreement on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, while maintaining it to develop it. But in contrast to India and Pakistan, he never announced his nuclear program and conducts the so-called intentional ambiguity policy in this matter.

In practice, this means that Israel never confirms, but also does not refute the assumptions about the presence of nuclear weapons.

It is believed that nuclear warheads Israel developed on a classified underground plant located in the middle of the desert. It is also assumed that it has all three main means suitable for delivery: ground starting plants, submarines and combat aircraft.

Israel can be understood. It is surrounded by hostile states hostile to him who do not hide their desire to "reset Israel in the sea." However, ambiguity policy is often criticized by those who consider this manifestation of double standards.

Iran, who also tried to develop a nuclear program, was tightly punished for it. Israel did not experience any sanctions.

On March 28, 2013 at the Institute of World Economy and International Relations of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IMEMO RAS), an international conference was held on the topic: "Restoration of a nuclear non-proliferation regime on the Korean Peninsula". It was attended by Russian and foreign scientists and experts in the field of international security and international relations, including a representative of the magazine "Political Education", an expert of the Association of Military Politologists Alexander Perenigiyev.

Opening a scientific forum, the head of the international security center IMEMO RAS Alexei Arbatov drew the attention of its participants to the fact that modern political tensions on the Korean Peninsula and the opening of the scientific forum - coincidences random. "We did not negotiate!" - Jack academician RAS A.G. Arbatov.

The reports were made by: Deputy Director of IMEMO RAS Vasily Mikheev, Leading Researcher of the US Institute and Canada, Victor Esin, Deputy Head of the Center for Defense Research RISI Vladimir Novikov.

At the beginning of his report, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences V.V. Mikheev noted that the key to understanding the relationship between the internal and foreign policy of the DPRK leadership is the survival of the regime. Political and economic reforms conducted in Russia and China are perceived by the political elite of North Korea, as a threat to its existence. Hence, the game from Pyongyang on contradictions between various world centers, including ASEAN states.

According to V.V. Mikheeva, North Korea does not have technical capabilities to create a nuclear bomb. At the same time, it should be noted that in this case the position of the United States, China and Russia completely coincide - the nuclear DPRK is not acceptable for anyone!

However, there is a duality of Chinese position on this issue. On the one hand, the Chinese declare that the DPRK is our brothers and they need to be protected. On the other hand, in Beijing believes that North Korea is a certain buffer between China and the United States. In addition, there is also an opinion that there is also an opinion that a feudal communist regime is installed in the DPRK that does not want to change.

Currently, the Chinese have equipped the border with North Korea, the video surveillance cameras installed there. As a result, it decreased significantly, almost to zero, the number of Korean fermenters. Beijing establishes hard control over the assets of the DPRK in China. It is assumed that 1 billion dollars of North Korean deposits are in Chinese territory.

The leadership of South Korea, and with him many politicians in the world believes that the path to the termination of the North Korean nuclear program is not negotiations. For Pyongyang, nuclear weapons are the main export goods. Therefore, in Seoul and in some other capitals, they believe that it is possible to solve the North Korean problem only as a result of changing the regime. But this policy causes aggressiveness from Pyongyang. Therefore, it believes V.V. Mikheev, or need to act rigidly in relation to the DPRK, or go along the way to the involvement of North Korea to international projects.

Why is the DPRK again at present (February 12th of this year) conducted nuclear tests? From the foreign policy side, Kim Jong Yun has shown the world that does not intend to change his father's regime. But still, internal political aspects affected the next nuclear tests. The head of state decided to show his determination and counteract the appearing opinion in the North Korean society that he is not the leader. That is, measures are taken from Kim Jun on the legitimization of its regime in the eyes of the population and the expression of the interests of the other members of the polyalites, which are clinging for the old.

Why does the DPRK be afraid to conduct nuclear tests? First, Pyongyang believes that the confrontation between Russia and the United States, between the United States and China will be eternal. Secondly, the sanctions from Washington are not such "painful". The most sensitive could be sanctions from China, but Beijing still does not threaten with such actions to Pyongyang. The European Union is also not able to put pressure on the DPRK, and is interested in North Korean assets.

According to V.V. Mikheeva, the command and administrative system of North Korea collapsed and is currently incapacitated. The DPRK "lives" due to the "gray" and "black" economy. The demand for North Korean products provide those who have access to the West - part of the political element, the highest ranks of the army, representatives of the highest layer of bureaucracy. In the DPRK there is a "wild" bundle of society: 10-15% live very well, but 30% per feature of poverty, there are even cases of cannibalism.

From the point of view of the moral and psychological climate in North Korea there is a complete decomposition. Golden Youth - Future Representatives of Politelitis are fond of foreign cigarettes, alcohol, drugs.

The internal political situation in the DPRK is unstable. Kim Chen Yun is not a leader like his father and grandfather, but the "roof", by which several groups are struggling for the allocation of resources.

Trying to find a way out of the current situation both around North Korea and inside it V.V. Mikheev proposes to strengthen the ligament of China-South Korea when exposed to Pyongyang, improve the efficiency of coordination of the actions of the members of the Five Member States along North Korea, organize pressure on the leadership of the DPRK ("Pyongyang should be afraid").

During the answers to questions, Vasily Mikheev explained that the prerequisites for changing the regime in the DPRK there is. However, it is not clear what events will blow up the situation. It is likely that such events could be hostilities. But the leaders of the DPRK is unlikely to go for it. In addition, North Korea has an agreement on mutual assistance with China, although Beijing is not beneficial for such a state of political regime in Pyongyang. After all, there is essentially the territory of an unstable state! But who from the states does such a state be profitable? Perhaps India, which, illegally has nuclear weapons and is in confrontation with China!

The second Colonel-General (retired) V.I. Esin noted that Pyongyang "for the sinus-owned something is." The last nuclear test showed that North Korea seeks to create a "compact nuclear ammunition". It becomes obvious - the rejection of nuclear weapons by the DPRK is excluded! In his report, Military Expert V.I. Esine recalled the participation history of the formation of a nuclear program and the development of rocket production in the DPRK, the role in these processes of the PRC and the USSR. In addition, the former head of the main headquarters of the RVSN of the Soviet Union acquainted the modern North Korean army with the possible equipment of the modern Nuclear weapons, its combat capabilities, the tactical and technical characteristics of the North DPRK with nuclear municipalities.

According to V.I. Eustina, North Korea while in the near future can not develop an intercontinental ballistic missile. However, the development of such a rocket can be significantly accelerated by Iranian specialists.

Candidate of Economic Sciences V.E. Novikov continued the topic of cooperation between the DPRK and Iran in the development of a nuclear program and rocket technologies, as well as the possible scientific potential of North Korea. So, according to the Rapporteur, from 600 to 800 North Korean specialists were trained abroad, including China, Japan, the USSR. The North Road Nuclear Program is carefully classified. Some Western correspondent confidentially, North Koreans demonstrated 2000 centrifuges, which indicates the seriousness of Pyongyang's intentions in possessing nuclear weapons.

In the course of the unfolded discussion, the conference participants not only analyzed the problems inside the DPRK, its nuclear potential, the role of other states and international organizations in the impact on the nuclear problem of North Korea, but also ways to solve it. Despite the difficulty of search, most of the scientific form liked the proposal to establish the Allied State of A la "Russia-Belarus" - PRC-DPRK, in order to mitigate the regime in Pyongyang.

The representative of the magazine "Political Education" Alexander Peredzhiev, drew the attention of those who gathered that the problem could ultimately be not when the regime change will occur in Pyongyang, but how it happens. Recently, it became known about cases of mass desertion of the North Korean soldiers to the Chinese army. At the same time, the representatives of various political groups are struggled around Kim Jun, but they are all dressed in a military uniform!

In addition, according to A.N. Perenigiyev, it is necessary to speak not only that the DPRK uses contradictions between the leading states of the world, but the world leaders also play the North Korean card. Thus, the United States, unfolding in Asia about, declare that they act against the nuclear threat from the DPRK. However, the elements of the American pro in the Asian part can be applied against China! And the leadership of the PRC is aware of this danger! Therefore, most likely, the North Korean nuclear problem can be solved only comprehensively, changing the entire existing system of international security and international relations.

In my opinion any

In my opinion, no military clashes between the Northern and South Korea cannot be speeches for one simple reason - it is not beneficial to anyone. (If not to take into account the interests of the USA)

Such a conclusion can be done at least from the fact that Kim Chen Yun is the ruler for a long time (since the end of 2011), and any politician who in power wants to keep it as long as possible. But since the board threatens social destabilization associated with the loss of faith in his leadership abilities, then the manifestation of the DPRK readiness to respond to "military provocations" looks like an attempt aimed at reaching the very trust, as well as the extension of external "stimuli." But I do not think that he is ready to start a full-scale war, as it should be aware of the 99% chance of its destruction.

Consequently, in my opinion, all the "hype" on the danger of the use of the North Korea of \u200b\u200bnuclear weapons is nothing more than the formation of public opinion in favor of the placement of America's about the Asian territory.

In my opinion, presence in the DPRK

In my opinion, the presence of nuclear weapons in the DPRK and the demonstration of its performance is just a way Kim Jong Yana keep power in his hands and not give the DPRK to go along the path of Syria. In modern northern Korea, too many internal problems associated with both the management of the state, the legitimacy of the authorities and economic aspects. In such a situation, the only reinforcement to hold power in his hands for Kim Jong Yana is to build and demented military power in order to completely eliminate the influence of the United States and its allies on the internal policy of the DPRK. Also do not forget about the joint teachings of the United States and South Korea, which pour oil into the fire.

In my opinion any

In addition, the DPRK is extreme

In addition, the DPRK is extremely not satisfied with the UN Security Council sanctions after in North Korea there have been a series of underground tests, a nuclear nature and launch of rockets with a satellite. The provisions of the resolution include measures in the North Korean contributions of the political elite, the search of diplomats, freezing accounts in banks and other financial measures. All this, too, somehow affected the situation intensity - creates discomfort for Pyongyang. Nevertheless, Kim Jong Yana (as the grandson and son of the mighty dynasty) need to show their people that is able to pacify the overseas comrades. But I doubt that seriously the DPRK is configured to fight.

Good day! By

Good day!

According to this article, there is an opinion that he climbing the DPRK in Test, Russia may lose the main buyer of our weapons. Since India is in collaboration with the DPRK, and this beats us on economic pocket. The power change in the DPRK will not happen by itself, you need a push, the question arises who will make this impetus? The PRC does not work on such no special causes, Russia is not capable of conducting any serious actions at the moment, only the United States remains. And most likely they will begin as for many years they are actively fighting for the presence of nuclear weapons. And what if indeed, the United States inflates this problem only because to accommodate about closer to the borders of a strong enemy (PRC), by eliminating a weaker enemy (DPRK)? Or is the worse than the United States satisfied with the PRC so that the ring was as much as possible from the Russian borders?! And all that now is this just the top of the iceberg?! At the moment, we can not give a worthy repulse either the US, nor PRC.

All Asia sits on needles, and permits this issue by armed forces may entail a chain reaction such as "Arab Spring"! So it is necessary to decide as quickly as possible well, and as much as possible, provided that the country will have to take all responsibility for what is happening.

Thanks for attention!

In my opinion, the chances that the DPRK

In my opinion, the chances that the DPRK will begin the war is negligible.

In the DPRK and without the war, there are plenty of problems ("wild" stratification of society: 10-15% of the population lives very well safely, but 30% per poverty line). Kim Jong Yun acts as a "interstate blackmail". All his threats are empty and, as before, are used to obtain certain benefits. He simply improves his reputation as a strong and independent leader, and the easiest way to unwind his people in the face of a foreign threat, in the role of which the United States is.

The change of power, in my opinion, is also unlikely. Even if it happens, what's next? Union of Korea? Unified Korea does not need a US nor China.
Nuclear DPRK is not acceptable for anyone! Fully agree with this statement. The nuclear club should not expand. With each new member of the threat of international security increases.

Good day! Though

Good day!

Although there is an opinion that the DPRK will not start hostilities. It is too weak, but it seems to me that if the United States presses much, the same nerves can withstand. It's like a rat if the corner closed will fight to the loss of the pulse! And Kim Jong Yun may be a sinker, but he does not help the honor of his family, and for sure without a fight will not surrender! And about nuclear weapons, this is not conditionally impossible to give a weak and not resistant to state political terms!

Thanks for attention!

DPRK in the coming

The DPRK in the next few years can increase its arsenal to 48 units of nuclear weapons. This is stated in the report of the American Institute of Science and International Security published on Friday. Spellings with pictures indicate that Pyongyang is engaged in the construction of a nuclear reactor on lightweight water, which, according to official data, will be used for peaceful purposes. However, it can also produce armory plutonium, is noted in the report. In the North Korea, a plant for enriching uranium is being built in order to produce fuel for a new legyode reactor. However, there are assumptions that this plant can be used by the North Korean leadership for the production of highly enriched uranium. The report reports argue that if the light-water reactor is not used for the production of weapon plutonium, the North Korea Arsenal by 2016 will probably be from 14 to 25 nuclear units Weapons. If Pyongyang will produce armory plutonies in a light-water reactor and highly enriched uranium at a new factory, then by the end of 2016, the North Korean leadership will have already from 28 to 39 nuclear charges. In addition, some experts believe that the DPRK has another secret Object for the production of highly enriched uranium. If these data correspond to reality, then the nuclear arsenal of North Korea by the end of 2016 can range from 37 to 48 units, reports "Voice of Russia". The reports of the report find it difficult to determine whether the North K.VDR has carriers for the delivery of nuclear charges. Right, in early July reported North Korea continues to bypass ban on sanctions introduced earlier by the UN Security Council in response to its nuclear and missile tests. As noted in the report of the Expert Group of the World Organization, violations, in particular, include illegal supplies of northern Korea weapons and luxury goods. According to experts, this proves that Pyongyang actively continues to ignore the measures envisaged in UN Security Council resolutions. In April of this year, North Korea proclaimed himself a nuclear power. The appropriate amendment was introduced into the Constitution. This change in analytics is associated with the desire of Pyongyang to achieve international recognition as a nuclear power. We simulate, the DPRK periodically makes applications about the holding of a new nuclear test. In addition, the North Korean authorities announced that there may be measures for "self-defense" in response to diplomatic pressure from the United States after launching the DPRK satellite. According to the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country, Pyongyang will "develop their means of nuclear deterrence until the United States continues his hostile policy."

Top 10 nuclear powers of the world

Today, nuclear weapons are thousands of times more powerful than two notorious atomic bombs, destroyed the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August forty-fifth. From the moment of this bombardment, the nuclear weapon race was transferred to another phase, and under the pretext of nuclear deterrence never stopped.

10. Iran.

Status: accusation in unofficial storage.
First test: Never.
Last test: Never.
Arsenal size: 2 400 kilograms of low-enriched uranium.

The best American military officials in one voice declare that Iran can produce at least one unit of nuclear weapons annually, and it requires a maximum of five years to develop a modern workable atomic bomb.

Currently, the West regularly places Tehran charges in developing nuclear weapons, which is just as regularly denied by the leadership of Iran. At the official position of the latter, the nuclear program of the state wears exclusively peaceful goals and is developed for the energy needs of enterprises and medical reactors.

After the international audit in the sixties, Iran had to abandon its nuclear program (1979). However, according to the secret documents of the Pentagon, it was renewed in the mid-nineties. For this reason, the Asian state was imposed on UN sanctions, the introduction of which should stop the development of the Iranian nuclear program that threatens the world in the region, nevertheless Iran is a nuclear power.

9. Israel

Status: Not officially.
The first test: maybe 1979.
Last test: Maybe 1979.
Arsenal size: up to 400 units.
Treatment prohibit contract (CTBT): signed.

Israel is considered a country not only with full-fledged nuclear weapons, but also capable of delivering it to various points through intercontinental ballistic missiles, aviation or fleet. The state began its research in the nuclear field shortly after its foundation. The first reactor was built in 1950, and the first nuclear weapons in the sixties.

Currently, Israel does not strive to maintain the Renome of the nuclear power, but many European countries, including France and the UK, actively contribute to Israel in this industry. It should be known that the information was leaked, as if the Israelis created nuclear mini-bombs that are small enough to be installed in the suitcase. In addition, it was reported that they possess an unknown number of neutrons of bombs.

8.

Status: Official.
First test: 2006.
Last test: 2009.
Arsenal size: less than 10 units.

In addition to possessing a significant arsenal of modern chemical weapons, North Korea is a full-fledged nuclear power. Currently, the State of the Korean People's Democratic Republic has a pair of active atomic reactors.

To date, in the asset of North Korea, two successful nuclear tests that were confirmed by international specialists in the survey and monitoring of seismic activity in the test areas.

7.

Status: Official.
First Test: May 28, 1998.
Last test: May 30, 1998.
Arsenal size: from 70 to 90 units.
Treaty prohibit agreement (CTBT): Not signed.

Pakistan resumed his previously interrupted, nuclear program in response to the "smile of Buddha", conducted by India. The official statement of the authorities contains the following words: "If India creates an atomic bomb, we will eat grass and leaves for a thousand years, or even starve, but we get a similar weapon. Christians, Jews, and now the Indians have a bomb. Why does Muslims do not allow themselves? ". This phrase belongs to Pakistan Prime Minister to Zulfira Ali Bhutto after testing in India.

Recall that Pakistan's nuclear program was born back in 1956, but was frozen by order of President Ayuba Khan. The nuclear engineers tried to prove that the nuclear program is vital, but the president of the country stated that in the event of a real threat, Pakistan would be able to acquire ready-made nuclear weapons.

Pakistan's air force has two units operating Nanchang A-5C (Squadron No. 16 and No. 26), which are great for the delivery of nuclear warheads. Pakistan takes the seventh place of our nuclear powered rating of the world.

6. India

Status: Official.
First test: 1974.
Last test: 1998.
Arsenal size: less from 40 to 95 units.
Treaty prohibit agreement (CTBT): Not signed.

India has an impressive number of nuclear weapons, and is also able to deliver it to its intended purpose with the help of aircraft and surface ships. In addition, its nuclear submarine rocket mines are at the final stage of development.

The first nuclear test conducted by India had the original name "smiling Buddha", as if this nuclear explosion was pursued exclusively peaceful goals. The world's response to such actions followed after the 1998 tests. Economic sanctions against India introduced the United States, Japan and their Western allies.

5.

Status: Official.
First test: 1964.
Last test: 1996.
Arsenal size: about 240 units.
Treatment prohibit contract (CTBT): signed.

Almost immediately after testing the first atomic bomb, China conducted tests of its hydrogen bomb. These events occurred in 1964 and 1967, respectively. Currently, the People's Republic of China possesses the 180th active nuclear warheads and is considered one of the most powerful global powers.

China is the only state with a nuclear arsenal, which gave security guarantees to all countries that do not have similar technologies. The official part of the document reads: "China undertakes not to apply, and not to threaten the use of nuclear weapons against states that do not have nuclear weapons, or zones free from nuclear weapons, regardless of time and under any circumstances."

4.

Status: Official.
First test: 1960.
Last test: 1995.
Arsenal size: at least 300 units.

France is a member of the "Treaty of Non-Proliferation of Yao" and, as you know, have weapons of mass destruction. Developments in this direction in the fifth republic began after the end of World War II, but the atomic bomb was created only in 1958. Make sure the working capacity of weapons allowed the tests of 1960.

To date, France has produced more than two hundred nuclear tests, and its potential puts the country to the fourth place in world rating of nuclear powers.

3.

Status: Official.
First test: 1952.
Last test: 1991.
Arsenal size: more than 225 units.
Treatment prohibit contract (CTBT): ratified.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain ratified the "Treaty of Non-Proliferation of Yao" in 1968. The United States and the United Kingdom are tightly and mutually benefit on nuclear safety, starting at the signing of a 1958 mutual defense treaty.

In addition, these two countries (US and the United Kingdom) are also actively exchanged by various secret information received by the special services of states.

2. Russian Federation

Status: Official.
First test: 1949.
Last test: 1990.
Arsenal size: 2,825 units.
Treatment prohibit contract (CTBT): ratified.

The Soviet Union was the second country blowing the nuclear bomb (1949). From this point on, until 1990, Russia has carried out at least 715 nuclear tests associated with testing 970 different devices. Russia is one of the strongest nuclear powers in the world. The first nuclear explosion, with a capacity of 22 kilotons, received his own name "Joe-1".

"Tsar Bomb" today is the most severe atomic ammunition of all time. She was inspected in 1967, demonstrating with the undermining of the colossal 57,000 kiloton. This charge was initially developed from the calculation of 100,000 kilotons, but was reduced to 57,000 kilotons due to the high probability of falling out of the excessive amount of radioactive precipitation.

1. United States of America

Status: Official.
First test: 1945.
Last test: 1992.
Arsenal size: 5,113 units.
Treatment prohibit contract (CTBT): signed.

In total, the United States held more than 1050 nuclear tests and occupies a leading place in our dozens nuclear world powers. At the same time, the state has rockets that have a range of delivery of atomic warheads up to 13,000 kilometers. The first TRINITY atomic bomb test was held in 1945. It was the first in world history an explosion of this kind, which demonstrated to humanity a new type of threat.

One of the greatest shines of the scientist, Albert Einstein, turned to President Franklin Roosevelt, with a proposal to create an atomic bomb. So the creator involuntarily became the destroyer.

Today, more than twenty secret objects work according to North America's nuclear program. It is curious that during the tests in the United States, many incidents with nuclear weapons were noted, which, fortunately, did not lead to irreparable consequences. Examples can serve in cases near Atlantic City, New Jersey (1957), at Thule Air Base, Greenland (1968), in Savannah, Georgia (1958), in the sea near Paloares, Spain (1966), At the coast of Okinawa, Japan (1965), etc.

Confrontation between the world's most powerful nuclear powers of Russia and USA: video

The article will talk about testing nuclear weapons in North Korea, as well as other countries that may pose a threat. Let us consider in detail this question from all sides, as well as study nuclear tests in Korea and talk about the potential of other countries.

Rocket and nuclear program of the DPRK

So conventionally referred to as a set of research work on the creation of nuclear charges in all data are based on official documents or statements of the country's government, as the developments are hidden. Power assures that all tests are exceptionally peaceful and are aimed at learning space. In the winter of 2005, the first explosion was officially announced on nuclear weapons and a year later.

It is known that after the war, the United States regularly threatened North Korea by the fact that nuclear weapons can apply. The ruler Kim Il Sen, being under the protection of the USSR, was calm in this regard, until he learned that the United States planned to discard 7 nuclear charges on Pyongyang during the Korean War. This served as a powerful impetus for the fact that nuclear energy studies began in Korea. It is considered to be 1952 by the beginning of the North Korea North Russia. There was a country in conjunction with the USSR, which provided considerable help. Since the 1970s, the development of nuclear weapons in North Korea began. A contracts with China were concluded, which launched researchers on their polygons.

In 1985, under strong pressure from the USSR, the DPRK signed an agreement on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons.

First test

In the fall of 2006, the country's authorities announced that the first nuclear test was successfully held. The official statement said that it was an underground test that would serve the world and stability on the Korean Peninsula. The study was held at Punher Polygon, which is located in the north-east of the republic, less than 200 km from the border with Russia. Underground impetus caused an earthquake in Japan, USA, Australia, South Korea and Russia.

After that, the question of whether there is nuclear weapons from North Korea, no longer standing. The PRC authorities were warned 2 hours before the explosion. World powers, including Russia and China, as well as the highest echelons of the EU power and NATO critically reacted to testing nuclear weapons. Political leaders openly expressed their discontent. Because of this, the weapons of which deserves attention, immediately came to combat readiness.

Second test

In the spring of 2009, the second test was held, the capacity of which was much more. After the explosion in 9 languages, the Korean International Radio was broadcast that their people were in support of the test of weapons, since the threat of the United States regularly appears. Korea, in turn, simply conducts decisive measures for possible protection of its territory.

At the same time, South Korea joined countries that negatively reacted to such a matter. The US government even put forward sanctions against the DPRK. In response, the authorities said that if mass inspections were carried out, Korea would perceive it as the beginning of the war.

Third test

In winter, 2013, the republic publicly stated that she intends to spend another test. In February, researchers from the United States noticed underground shocks, the localization of which was approximately in the region of North Korea nuclear landfill. The UN, it was announced a strange seismic phenomenon that has signs of an explosion. On the same day, the authorities of North Korea announced a successful experiment. On December 12, 2012, the DPRK researchers brought a new satellite into orbit, which began the crisis in the country. The US relations, South Korea, Japan and North Korea have grunted greatly.

Do you still think, is there nuclear weapons from North Korea and how much is it? It will be useful to know that in 2015 officially stated that the country has a hydrogen bomb. Analysts with confidence said that, most likely, the development in this direction is conducted, but there are no ready-made warheads.

In January 2016, South Korean authorities shared information that the DPRK allegedly prepares for the testing of the hydrogen bomb. Scouts said that the production of tritium was established in North Korea, it is necessary to create a bomb, and a new underground tunnel is built. In winter, 2017, at the order of Kim Jong Yana, the first explosion of the thermonuclear bomb was held near the Chinese border. This information was confirmed by Chinese researchers. In the autumn of the same year, information was officially confirmed that the DPRK owns a hydrogen bomb.

Fourth test

In the winter of 2016, North Korea recalled again. The nuclear power spent another explosion and soon stated that the first successful, however, experts from all over the world showed some distrust to these words and doubted that it was a hydrogen bomb that blurted out. They insisted that the explosion had to be more powerful a few hundred thousand million tons. He was equated to what happened in 2009. In power, he was compared with a bomb exploded in Hiroshima.

Fifth test

In the fall of 2016, a powerful seismic explosion occurred in the countryside in the country. The epicenter was located in the village, not far from Polygon Punheri. US geologists classified seismic shocks like an explosion. A little later, the DPRK officially announced the successful of the fifth test of nuclear weapons.

Sixth test

On September 3, 2017, the most powerful underground shocks on the territory of North Korea were recorded. They were noticed by seismic stations of many countries. This time, scientists agreed that the explosion was ground. He occurred in the day local time in the Pongure Polygon district. Officially, Korea authorities declared a successful test of warheads with a nuclear charge. The power of the explosion was incredible and 10 times longed by the one that was in the fall of 2016. A few minutes after the first push, the US Geological Service recorded another one. Multiple landslides were visible from the satellite.

Countries

When North Korea has a nuclear weapon, it entered the so-called "nuclear club", consisting of states that own a different amount of such weapons. The list of countries that legally own facilities: France, China, United Kingdom, Russia and the USA. The illegitimate owners are Pakistan, India and North Korea.

It is necessary to mention that Israel is not officially considered the owner of nuclear weapons, but many world experts are confident that the country has its own secret developments. However, many states at one time were engaged in the development of such weapons. In addition, not everyone signed a non-proliferation agreement in 1968, and many of those who signed it - did not ratify. That is why the threat still exists.

USA

List of countries with nuclear weapons Let's start with the United States. The base of relics is lies in ballistic rockets on submarines. It is known that at the moment the United States has more than 1,500 warheads. After World War II, the production of weapons increased sharply, but in 1997 it was discontinued.

Russia

So, the list of countries with nuclear weapons continues the Russian Federation, which owns 1480 warheads. It also has a sleeve, which can be used in marine, strategic, rocket and aviation troops.

During the last decade, the number of weapons in Russia has significantly decreased due to the signing of a mutual disarmament agreement. The Russian Federation, as well as the United States, has been signed by another 1968 contract, therefore it is included in the list of countries owning nuclear ammunition legitimate. At the same time, the presence of such a threat allows Russia to adequately defend its political and economic interests.

France

How strong is the army of North Korea, we already understood, but what about European countries? France, for example, owns 300 warheads that can be applied on submarines. Also, the country has about 60 multiprocessors that can be used for military aviation. The stock of weapons of this country seems negligible compared to the volumes of the USA and Russia, but this is weighty. France has fought for independence in terms of developing its own weapons for a very long time. Researchers tried to invent a supercomputer, conducted nuclear weapons tests. But all this lasted until 1998, after which all the developments were destroyed and discontinued.

Great Britain

This country owns approximately 255 units of nuclear weapons, of which more than 150 are in complete readiness for use in submarines. Inaccuracies in the number of UK weapons are caused by the fact that the principles of politics prohibit placing detailed information on the quality of weapons. The country does not try to increase its nuclear potential, but in no case is not going to lower it. It contains an active policy to contain the use of deadly weapons.

China, India, Pakistan

On how many nuclear weapons from North Korea, we will talk later, but for now we will pay attention to China, which owns about 240 units of nuclear weapons. According to unofficial data, it is believed that there are about 40 intercontinental missiles in the country and about 1000 small-range missiles. The government does not give any accurate data on the number of weapons, assuring that it will be supported at a minimum level to guarantee security.

Also, China's authorities argue that they will never apply this type of weapons first, and if it is necessary to use it, it will not be directed to countries that have no nuclear weapons. What to say, the world community responds very positively to such applications.

Northern Korean nuclear weapon We have already considered, and what about such a multifaceted country as India? Experts believe that it refers to states who own deadly weapons of illegitimately. It is believed that the military supply consists of thermonuclear and nuclear warheads. There are also ballistic missiles, small and medium rockets. Despite the fact that the country owns nuclear weapons, it is not discussed on the world stage, it is not discussed and no information is provided that the world community upsets.

In Pakistan, according to experts, there are about 200 warheads. However, these are only unofficial data, since there is no accurate information. The public has reacted very hard for all tests of nuclear weapons in this country. Pakistan received a lot of economic sanctions from almost all states of the world, except Saudi Arabia, as it was associated with it to contracts for the supply of oil.

The armament of which is clearly sufficient, is still the main world threat. The government does not want to provide any approximate information on the number of weapons. It is known that there are medium-range missiles and Musane's mobile missile complex. Due to the fact that the DPRK regularly tests for his weapons and even publicly declares that it is in the country, economic sanctions are regularly superimposed. For a long time, six-party negotiations are being conducted between countries, but despite all this, Korea is not going to stop their research.

As for the mentioned negotiations, they began in 2003. Participants were USA, Russia, Japan, South Korea. The first three round of negotiations that occurred in 2003-2004 did not bring any practical result. The fourth round passed without the participation of Pyongyang - the capital of the DPRK. It happened because of the new crisis in the relations of the DPRK with America and Japan.

At all stages of negotiations, we are talking about the same thing - so that the country has rolled its nuclear program and destroyed the created weapons. The United States offered Korea economic benefits and a complete guarantee that aggression and threats from their side will no longer be. However, when all participating countries demanded that the DPRK fully turned all their activities, and even under the control of the IAEA, Korea decisively refused.

Later, the country still softened its conditions and agreed to temporarily freeze his research in exchange for the supply of fuel oil on the most profitable conditions for Korea. However, by this time, the United States and Japan has already been insufficient freezing, they wanted to complete the nuclear program. Naturally, the DPRK did not accept such conditions.

Subsequently, the United States managed to agree with the Korea on the temporary freezing of all tests for good remuneration. However, after this, the participating countries began to demand the most desirable - completely discontinue and destroy all the development. For once again, Korea rejected the conditions.

Negotiations are stilling so far, and situations occur similar: as soon as the DPRK goes on concessions, it requires even more. Korea, in turn, no pretext does not agree to collapse a rocket and nuclear program.

Start on August 29 North Korean rocket (her trajectory was held over Japan over Cape Erimo on Hokkaido), who fell in the Pacific Ocean and Flying, on official Japanese information, about 2,700 km at a maximum height of 550 km, almost did not add new information on the development of the DPRK Rocket Program . With the exception that the flight rocket type "Halfs" was successful. It can create the impression that the rocket has a chance to undergo flight test stages and be adopted. However, used in developed countries of flight testing programs of ballistic missiles, under which it is necessary to provide a significant number of successful starts at the final stages, are not related to North Korean practice. Especially in the crisis atmosphere, when you need to quickly demonstrate your formidable potential with indescribable delight.

With the last start, the contradictory statement of the Prime Minister of Japan attracted, which it was said that, on the one hand, this is a clear threat to the country, on the other hand, the flight of the rocket did not imagine a threat, therefore special measures were not taken. Under these measures, it was most likely to use about IJIS on Japanese destroyers. It seems that one of the reasons for the non-use of the pro is the low probability of interception, even if several anti-abslicas were launched. In this case, the failure would lead to Kim Jong Yana to an even greater delight.

The next North Korean underground nuclear test can be regarded as another desperate provocative call of Pyongyang primarily Washington in order to coercion to direct contacts.

Rocket programs

The history of the development of the DPRK Rocket Program from the operational-tactical to intercontinental systems originates from 1980 after receiving from Egypt of the Supad Supreme Complex with a rocket range up to 300 km. Modernization made it possible to increase the range of rocket to 500-600 km.

You can find data on which up to 1000 such missiles was produced, a significant part of which was sold to Iran, Syria, Libya, to other countries. Currently, in the country, according to Military Balance, several dozen mobile starting plants and about 200 rockets of the type "SCAD" of various modifications.

The next stage is the "Nodon-1" rocket with a motor consisting of a bundle of four rocket engines "SCD" range up to 1500 km. In Iran, they were under the index "Shehb-3", in Pakistan - "Gauri-1". Further, the Musane's average range rocket or "Hwanson-10 with a range of various sources ranging from 2500 to 4000 km. The first successful test of it was held in 2016.

In May of this year, a successful launch of the Hwanson-12 type rocket was carried out, which the intercontinental range is attributed to the DPRK, however, experts, as well as the author, consider it relating to medium-range missiles, taking into account indicative mass and overall characteristics.

It should be noted here that division on the PCD (medium-range missiles) and the ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missiles) are enshrined in START treaties between the United States and the USSR (1000-5500 km - RSD, 5500 km and above - the ICBM), but really one and that The rocket may easily move from one category to another during flight testing. To do this, it is sufficient to reduce or increase the thrown weight of the rocket in relatively small limits, and the sighting distance will noticeably differ from the accepted border in one or the other side.

Finally, in July 2017, North Koreans declared the launches of two MBR type "Hwanon-14", about the path trajectories of which there are contradictory information. According to Russian data, the rocket must be attributed to the RSD, according to American - to the ICBM, but this will be discussed below.

The scandal in connection with the assumptions about the use of liquid rocket engines of type RD-250 in Hwanson-14 deserves a separate assessment, deprived of political addictions. This Soviet engine is designed in the 60s. OKB-456 under the leadership of V.P. Glushko (now NGO Energomash. Glushko) for the IBR R-36 is also used in orbital rocket. At the Yuzhmash (Ukraine) plant, the production of RD-250 engines and their modifications were organized. Yuzhmash produced all heavy-type rockets for RVSH, equipped with RD-250, RD-251, RD-252 engines.

An article in the New York Times newspaper "The success of the Ballistic missile of Northern Korea is associated with the Ukrainian Plant, the experts say" is based on the assumption of the employee of the American International Institute of Strategic Strategic Studies of Mike Ellemana that in the Hwanson-14 missile, the RD-250 engine was used in Rocket In unknown ways from Ukraine in the DPRK. There are some pictures of the engine next to Kim Jong, according to which it cannot be argued that this is RD-250. This engine is a two-chamber design, and one camera is visible on the rocket image.

All this story, based only on the hypothesis of Elememin, deserves additional analysis. So far, it is impossible to imagine such an engine in the DPRK under the auspices of the authorities if Ukraine, Ukraine fulfills the requirements of the "regime of monitoring the distribution of missile technologies". Channels of any black market are also unlikely to "digest" such a huge unit. Reality may be illegal receipt by North Korean engineers of design, technological and production documentation from Energomash or Yuzhmash specialists, as well as participating in the development of recruited specialists from these organizations.

A significant place in the rocket program is assigned to the development of media to launch satellites. Back in 1998, the DPRK announced the launch of the three-step launch vehicle "Tephodon-1" with a satellite "Kwanmenon-1", but the satellite was not derived orbit because of the latter level failure. In 2006, the launch of TEPhodon-2 missile was launched, which is considered an IBC or a carrier rocket, although constructive differences may be minimal. According to reports, it exploded at the 42nd second flight. Another launch of such a rocket - in 2009, with a satellite "Kwanmenon-2" was also an emergency. And only at the end of 2012, it was possible to bring Satellite Quanaminson-3 to a low orbit.

As for the creation of North Korean ballistic missiles for submarines (BRPL), the apparent beginning of this very rapid process was recorded, as reported, in October 2014, the tightened launch of the KN-11 rocket layout from the ground stand, in May 2015 - by the shifting start from The water layout is most likely from the submersible platform. Such tests in the same year were continued. According to the common information, in August 2016, BRPL KN-11 started from a diesel-electric submarine type SInp'o (apparently experienced, with one pipe - a starting unit). It is reported that another six submarines of this type with two or three launchers are being built, as well as the BRPL KN-11 is adapted to launch from mobile primer starting settings.

It must be borne in mind that by the rocket KN-11 a lot of contradictory and little reliable information. So, for example, it is argued that it is developed on the basis of Soviet BRPL P-27, which cannot be because P-27 is a single-stage rocket on liquid fuel, while KN-11 is a two-stage rocket on solid fuel (!) . Many messages about North Korean missiles are saturated with similar incomplete messages. Most likely, the intelligence bodies of Russia and the United States have more accurate information on the characteristics of rockets, submarines, starting installations and other features of the DPRK program, but in this case an open information is used. Of course, experts can distinguish on video torches of engines of liquid and solid fuel rockets, but there is no confidence that the video refers to the rocket that is reported.

Regardless of the degree of borrowing of foreign technologies, today it is possible to argue about the significant success of the RCD rocket industry, as a result of which the country is able to obtain in the near future a practically complete range of missiles of various types, from operational tactical to intercontinental. A number of achievements can affect the imagination. For example, the development of large-sized solid fuel rocket engines. This requires not only modern solid fuel recipes, but also large-scale fuel production and its fill to the rocket housing. In open sources, including space shots, there is no information about such plants. Such surprise caused at one time the appearance of a two-stage solid fuel ballistic missile of the middle range "Cedzhil" and "Sezhil-2" in Iran.

Of course, the degree of development, that is, the reliability of many missiles not only a large range, onboard and terrestrial control systems, start-up installations remain at a low level, as evidenced, for example, at once three recent emergency starts of missiles that have already been adopted. And it represents an additional threat at the launches of North Korean missiles, since it is not known whether local experts are able to reliably control the flights with failures, leading to significant changes in the trajectories, are there systems of elimination or self-destruction during emergency starts, there are systems for preventing unauthorized launches, etc.

Extremely important uncertainty exists regarding the possibility of equipping North Korean missiles with nuclear waters. On the one hand, information appears that there are no 8 in the DPRK, not the 10-12 warheads for installation on ballistic missiles, on the other - that they cannot yet be used in rockets, but only in airbags. However, it is necessary to take into account that even the rocket type "SCD" and "Nodon-1", as follow-up, are capable of carrying a payload of about 1000 kg. All the relatively early history of creating nuclear warheads in nuclear states with weapons uranium or plutonium convincingly confirms the possibility of creating warhead within this mass. In such conditions, uncertainty is quite natural to count on the worst option, especially with regard to the constant exacerbation of the military-political situation in the region.

About tasks for Russia

The proposed article does not discuss the entire set of political and diplomatic measures of influence from Russia and other states on the leadership of the DPRK, since the analysis in this area is better to carry out professional political scientists. It can only be noted that, according to the author, it would be necessary, without reducing sanitation pressure in accordance with unanimously adopted UN Security Council resolutions No. 2270 and 2321 and one-sided sanctions of the United States, as well as those that will be accepted after the nuclear test of September 3, to promote preparations for The beginning of consultations between the influential American and North Korean representatives to reduce tension on the basis of acceptable action for the parties in the first stages. True, sanctions can be effective only in the case of their fulfillment by all states. In this regard, there is a lot of information that China, which accounts for up to 80% of trade with the DPRK, for various reasons, does not put pressure on Pyongyang, including due to discontent with the placement of complexes in South Korea.

In the field of military-technical policy in the current situation in the foreseeable perspective of Russia, it would be advisable to focus on two directions: first, to provide maximum information about the status of development, production and test base with the help of national technical means of control (NTSC) Systems of the DPRK and on the processes of flight tests. Secondly, on the development of missile systems capable of intercepting rockets and combat blocks during single and group launches.

In the first direction, it can be assumed that the task of monitoring the territory of the DPRK to obtain data on rocket infrastructure is carried out by domestic space systems. However, there is no confidence in reliable control of launches and parameters of the flight trajectories of rockets of various types. Currently, there is no necessary composition of the cosmic echelon system of warning of a missile attack (SPRN). From the stations of the ground echelon, SPRN beyond the flights of the North Korean missiles could, apparently, to follow and measure the parameters of the trajectories mainly radar "Voronezh-DM" in the Krasnoyarsk Territory and RLS "Voronezh-DM" next to the Zeya town. The first, as promised, should take care of combat duty until the end of 2017, on the second, according to the information, in 2017, the construction and installation work should be completed.

It is possible that this can be explained by large discrepancies in the values \u200b\u200bof the recorded parameters of the trajectories by Russian, North Korean and Japanese means at the launch of the Hwanson-14 missiles. For example, on July 4, 2017, the first launch of this rocket was carried out in the DPRK, which, in North Korean data close to Japanese, reached a height of 2802 km and passed 933 km in 39 minutes. Russian Ministry of Defense presented completely different data: height - 535 km, range - 510 km. Similar sharp discrepancies took place at the second start on July 28, 2017. Russian data is accompanied by soothing conclusions about the absence of an intercontinental range in North Korean missiles. Obviously, "Voronezh-DM" in the Krasnoyarsk Territory and even more so "Voronezh-DM" from Zei still could not receive the necessary data, and there are no information about the other Russian systems of trajectory dimensions. The Ministry of Defense of Russia does not explain the significant differences of the results submitted. It is impossible to exclude that in Moscow would like to not increase the sanctuction pressure on Pyongyang in the hope of diplomatic methods of achieving a compromise when the abolition of the part of the sanctions. But how convincingly testifies historical experience, any attempts to dew the dictator can lead to disastrous consequences.

The second direction, as noted above, is the development of effective pro. Crane statements of responsible representatives of the Ministry of Defense and the OPK that the C-400 complex is already able to intercept the medium-range missiles, and the C-500 will soon be able to intercept even intercontinental rockets, should not be misleading anyone. There is no information that the C-400 or C-500 complexes with anti-cancers for interception of combat units of medium-range missiles took place attentive tests. Moreover, for such tests, the middle-range missiles are needed, the development of which is prohibited by the RSDD contract. In this regard, the claim to the United States who experienced their pro with similar targets is reasonable and require clarification.

The fact that I can be used as a target to be used as a target, which, due to the cut-off traction of the march engines, is able to imitate the trajectory and speed characteristics of medium-range missiles, there is also no information.

For the presentation of possible deadlines for the completion of natural development of the C-400 and C-500 complexes with interception of combat units of medium-range missile blocks, the US experience should be taken into account, which carried out such tests of 15-20 years. So, for example, the first test tests of the GBI strategic missile defense launched in 1997, since 1999, 17 intensive tests were conducted on the interception of simulators of combat blocks of medium-range missiles, of which only 9 were successful. From 2006 to the present, 10 tests were conducted to intercept strategic ballistic goals, of which only 4 were successful. And it would be naive to count on the fact that we will not need many years to bring our pro prior to an efficient condition.

However, all the work on ensuring reliable protection of critical objects in Russia from single and group missile attacks with any type of combat equipment must be carried out systematically and without unnecessary optimism. This is due to both the domestic pro and with the completion of the deployment of a single space system (EX), which provides global control over the starts of majority of types of missiles, with a combat duty on all terrestrial RLS SPRN.
