Rising arms race raises nuclear fears
Global nuclear risks are increasing, as nuclear-armed countries are bringing out their weapons from storage and deploying them on delivery systems. There are approximately 12,187 nuclear warheads ready for use, most of which are stored in reserve awaiting deployment. Reports indicate that the threat level is rising despite the overall number of nuclear warheads decreasing since the end of the Cold War. The process of dismantling weapons is expected to slow down, while nuclear weapons deployment accelerates—especially as China expands and updates its arsenal, alongside other countries like the United States and Russia, which together hold about 83% of the world's stockpile.
