Although no one is in a hurry to transfer armored vehicles to Kiev

The roots of China's rocket and space power go back to the USSR

Recent events in East Asia have once again drawn attention to the escalation of tensions, military capabilities and combat readiness of a number of countries. First of all, this concerns China.

Ukrainian President Zelensky urged the West not to wait until Russia strikes with nuclear weapons, but to launch a preemptive strike — without specifying whether it is nuclear or not. Many Western analysts, meanwhile, have no doubt that Russia is preparing to use tactical nuclear weapons somewhere on the territory of Ukraine. What does the Russian military doctrine say about this? And why, from a military-technical point of view, does it make no sense to use tactical nuclear weapons, but should we start with strategic ones? Naked Science understands the details.

Russia is not inferior to NATO in the development of nuclear weapons, writes Al Mayadeen. Its missiles can be launched from the sea, air and land, and some of them are equipped with separable individual guidance combat units. In the event of a nuclear war, the alliance forces will be destroyed within half an hour.

As the publication reported, Washington refuses to supply

Kiev needs them in order to hit the territory of Russia and, in particular, the Crimea, Washington refuses to supply. This was reported by The Wall Street Journal on Thursday, citing American officials and congressional representatives.

The US Defense and Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) announced the intentions of the Middle Eastern country, notifying the US Congress of the potential sale. In addition to the NASAMS SAM, Kuwait will receive dozens of missiles of various types. These are AIM-120C-8 (AMRAAM), AMRAAM-Extended Range (AMRAAM-ER), AIM-120-C-8 AMRAAM and AIM-9X Sidewinder Block II.
