Further, Russia depends on the accuracy and proper interpretation of data from early warning radars to make rapid decisions regarding the launch of its nuclear weapons, presenting unacceptably high risks according to some.
2. What are the Present-Day Nuclear Realities?
Nuclear readiness threatens to lead to the use of nuclear weapons by either technical failure, human error, or unauthorized launch. Possession of nuclear weapons by eight states (United States,…
