Recently, according to media reports, Ukraine was the third largest nuclear country in the world when the Soviet Union collapsed, with more than 3,000 nuclear bombs. But what was unexpected was that Ukraine was finally caught in the trap of the United States and Russia. In order to make Ukraine lose these nuclear weapons, the United States and Russia tempted Ukraine together that as long as they destroy these nuclear bombs, they could give Ukraine a lot. A large subsidy and a large amount of economic aid. After being fooled by the United States and Russia, Ukraine, a European power, destroyed 3,000 nuclear bombs overnight, hoping to obtain Western aid. However, Ukraine regrets it now, because after destroying the nuclear bomb, Ukraine not only did not receive aid, but its domestic economic situation has deteriorated. Even the former Ukrainian president who made the decision to destroy the nuclear bomb was now facing a verdict of treason. It seems that trusting Western countries will not end well.

However, even if Ukraine can withstand the pressure from the United States and Russia and resolutely retain these weapons, the result will not be much better than destroying them. Since most of the strategic weapons require a large amount of manpower and material resources to maintain the reliability of these weapons themselves. Even if Ukraine does not actively sell or destroy these weapons and equipment, under the premise that the national economy is almost collapsed and cannot maintain these weapons and equipment at all, the weapons inherited by Ukraine from the Soviet Union will not take long to fail due to aging. Even if Ukraine can completely seal these weapons, it will only slow down their lifespan decay.

Therefore, under the strong pressure of the United States and Russia, Ukraine, which is not able to maintain the nuclear warhead , eventually destroyed all nuclear warheads. Although the United States and Russia promise that Ukraine will have many benefits in the future of destroying the nuclear warheads and provide economic assistance to Ukraine, if we only rely on the financial subsidies from the United States and Russia, it will not be able to restore the domestic economic downturn in Ukraine, so Ukraine finally moved towards a development trend of relying on arms trade to drive economic growth.

Once Ukraine relied on a large amount of rich arms inherited from the former Soviet Union to earn a rich foreign arms trade volume. The heavy weapons of the major powers sold by Ukraine include the Varyag aircraft carrier built during the former Soviet Union, as well as the Il 76 strategic transport aircraft, GT-25000 ship gas turbine, AI-222 aircraft engine, R27 air-air missile , etc., through these arms transactions, they exchange funds for the normal operation of the country.

But now, under the premise that the Soviet Union's original background has basically been cleared, Ukraine can only choose to put the R36M, a big killer, on the shelves and plan to sell the missile to Saudi Arabia. However, the missile was discovered before it was sold, which surprised and annoyed Russia. Although the R36M missile is already very behind, this missile is still in its reputation. Since Ukraine can sell such a strategic weapon, it really scares the United States and Russia.
