Reshaping Perspectives and Catalyzing Diplomatic Evolution

Military expert Leonkov – on what you need to understand about START and why the US wouldn’t let us in with a nuclear inspection Fox News

In turn, we allowed American inspectors to enter our bases. The ability to see our nuclear forces was very important to the United States. They carried out one of the first inspections of our airfields, where strategic bombers are stationed. Of course, we were counting on a symmetrical inspection of their facilities provided for by the contract, but it did not work. And now, that won’t happen for a very long time.As for non-US nuclear forces. Nor is it possible today to understand the state of the arsenals of France and Great Britain. Because it’s not in the contract. At the same time, the nuclear arsenals of Great Britain and France are now under the unified control of the United States, but formally they have nothing to do with them.Once upon a time, the Americans twisted our arms and said they wouldn’t extend START if we didn’t force China to sign this treaty as well. We didn’t go, but in the end START-3 was signed after all. I think the condition that Britain and France also be subject to inspection will not be accepted by Washington, here, as they say, they will rest against the horn. They will remember our position on the inclusion of China in the new version of the treaty.Let us now turn to the question of nuclear weapons testing. The last nuclear warheads produced in the United States date back to 1991. To update the nuclear component, to make new charges, you need to make sure that they work. The computer simulation will not fully understand the operation of the load. Therefore, they now have to perform real tests.Of course, we will also begin to carry out large-scale tests of nuclear weapons. We have polygons for that. Our leaders, realizing that the question of American nuclear testing would certainly arise, prepared for it in advance. I think the Ministry of Defense has long been instructed to prepare our training grounds for such tests. And we can test everything there, even thermonuclear charges. There are no more restrictions on the power of tested weapons.
