Among the more than 200 countries around the world, there are only 9 countries that have nuclear weapons , while only the Wuchang countries have legal nuclear possession. The remaining countries are illegal. Even though so many countries have nuclear weapons, Russia is the most numerous, followed by the United States. According to the latest data released, Russia has 5977 nuclear warheads and , while the United States has 5428 nuclear warheads. Surprisingly, the number of our nuclear warheads was only more than 300. The United States took the lead in questioning this, saying that this was absolutely impossible, thinking that the data was wrong and the number was too small.
The United States believes that because China's development in recent years can be seen around the world, it has always been the second in the world in its economy. Moreover, China has also manufactured many new modern weapons in recent years, such as the J-20 fighter jets and Fujian ships, so China is not short of funds to manufacture nuclear weapons, so the data may be reported less. Is this really the case?
Let’s first understand Russia and the United States, how did so many nuclear warheads come from. As we all know, the United States and Russia have always been incompatible. Russia's economy was suppressed by the United States. Russia could also make a lot of money by relying on the development of military industry, but it was not enough to create so many nuclear warheads. In the final analysis, it was the Soviet Union's contribution. During the Soviet Union, in order to suppress the United States, the Soviet Union invested a lot of money and built many nuclear weapons, with more than 30,000 at its peak.
Soviet collapse , and nuclear warheads were mainly inherited by Russia and Ukrainian . At that time, Russia obtained more than 20,000 pieces and Ukraine had more than 3,000 pieces. Under the coercion and temptation of interests between the United States and Russia, Ukraine destroyed all nuclear bombs. Due to economic problems and the retirement of nuclear bombs, the Russian army has continuously reduced its holdings. Now Russia has only 5,977 nuclear bombs.
And the United States is an economic power and the first country in the world to create a nuclear bomb. In addition, with a huge economy as support, and because of the outbreak of Cold War , an arms race with the Soviet Union was launched, so the United States also built a lot of nuclear bombs, and at its peak it exceeded 20,000. With the collapse of the Soviet Union and losing the checks and balances of powerful opponents, coupled with the retirement of a large number of nuclear bombs and the reduction of holdings by the US military, the United States now has 5,428 nuclear bombs in hand.
In terms of time, China's development was relatively late, and in the early days of its founding, it was blocked by the United States, and all aspects were poor and white. China's nuclear weapons path is all achieved through self-development. Even though there were Soviet experts to guide them, they were all withdrawn soon and even the drawings were taken away. The subsequent work can only be slowly explored by our scientific researchers, but it only took a few years to create the Chinese atomic bomb .
And nuclear weapons are very dangerous. Our country is a country that advocates peace and will not invade other countries. For our country, the biggest role of having nuclear weapons is deterrence and self-defense. Therefore, there is no need for too many quantities. As long as the land can be guaranteed, the invading enemy can be guaranteed to be returned without returning. So there is no problem with the number we have published. How great is China's nuclear possession to maintain national peace and global stability!
