NUCLEAR-ARMED NATIONS BOOSTING ARSENALS – RESEARCH. THE NUMBER OF OPERATIONAL WARHEADS IS ON THE RISE GLOBALLY, A SWEDISH THINK TANK HAS FOUND

The world is in “one of the most dangerous periods in human history” as global powers boost their atomic arsenals and nuclear weapons play an increasingly “prominent” role in international relations, a Swedish think tank said on Monday.  

Diplomatic efforts to control nuclear arms have suffered major setbacks as geopolitical relations have deteriorated over the Ukraine and Gaza conflicts, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), a group that tracks global security and arms control, said in its annual report.  

The nine nuclear states – the US, Russia, the UK, France, China, India, Pakistan, North Korea, and Israel – continue to modernize their atomic arsenals and several deployed new nuclear-armed or nuclear-capable weapon systems in 2023.  

“We have not seen nuclear weapons playing such a prominent role in international relations since the Cold War,” said Wilfred Wan, director of SIPRI’s Weapons of Mass Destruction Program.  

An “extremely concerning” increase in the number of nuclear warheads deployed with missiles and aircraft is likely to pick up speed in the coming years, the report warned. Of the estimated 12,121 nuclear warheads around the world, about 9,585 were in stockpiles for potential use as of January, the report found. Around 2,100 were kept in a state of “high operational alert” on ballistic missiles.  

“Regrettably we continue to see year-on-year increases in the number of operational nuclear warheads,” said SIPRI director Dan Smith.   

Russia and the US together have almost 90% of all nuclear weapons, SIPRI said. The sizes of their military stockpiles remained stable in 2023, although Russia is estimated to have deployed around 36 more warheads with operational forces than in January 2023, the watchdog added.   

Tensions over Ukraine and Gaza have further “weakened” global nuclear diplomacy, researchers stated.   

Washington has suspended bilateral strategic stability dialogue with Russia, and last year Moscow announced that it was suspending its participation in the New START nuclear arms reduction treaty. As a countermeasure, the US has also suspended the sharing and publication of treaty data.  

For the first time, China is believed to have some warheads on high operational alert during peacetime, SIPRI said. Beijing boosted its nuclear arsenal to 500 warheads in January, up from 410 in the same month last year. China is expanding its nuclear inventory faster than any other country, the report claimed.   

In Asia, India, Pakistan, and North Korea are all pursuing the capability of deploying multiple warheads on ballistic missiles.   

“We are now in one of the most dangerous periods in human history,” Smith said, urging the world’s great powers to “step back and reflect. Preferably together.”

WATCHDOG: NUCLEAR-ARMED NATIONS ARE DEEPENING RELIANCE ON NUCLEAR WEAPONS

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — The world’s nine nuclear-armed states continue to modernize their nuclear weapons as the countries deepened their reliance on such deterrence in 2023, a Swedish think tank said Monday.

“We have not seen nuclear weapons playing such a prominent role in international relations since the Cold War,” said Wilfred Wan, director of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute’s weapons of mass destruction program.

Earlier this month, Russia and its ally Belarus launched a second stage of drills intended to train their troops in tactical nuclear weapons, part of the Kremlin’s efforts to discourage the West from ramping up support for Ukraine.

In a separate report, the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, ICAN, said the nine nuclear-armed states spent a combined total of $91.4 billion on their arsenals in 2023 – equivalent to $2,898 per second. The Geneva-based coalition of disarmament activists won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2017.

The group said that figures show a $10.7 billion increase in global spending on nuclear weapons in 2023 compared to 2022, with the United States accounting for 80% of that increase. The U.S. share of total spending, $51.5 billion, is more than all the other nuclear-armed countries put together.

“There has been a notable upward trend in the amount of money devoted to developing these most inhumane and destructive of weapons over the past five years,” said Alicia Sanders-Zakre, Policy and Research Coordinator with ICAN.

The next biggest spender was China at $11.8 billion, she said, with Russia spending the third largest amount at $8.3 billion.

“All this money is not improving global security, in fact it’s threatening people wherever they live,” Sanders-Zakre said.

SIPRI estimated that some 2,100 of the deployed warheads were kept in a state of high operational alert on ballistic missiles, and nearly all belong to Russia or the USA. However, it said that China is also believed to have some warheads on high operational alert for the first time.

“Regrettably we continue to see year-on-year increases in the number of operational nuclear warheads,” said Dan Smith, SIPRI’s director. He added that the trend will likely accelerate in the coming years “and is extremely concerning.”

Russia and the United States have together almost 90% of all nuclear weapons, SIPRI said. The sizes of their military stockpiles seem to have remained relatively stable in 2023, although Russia is estimated to have deployed around 36 more warheads with operational forces than in January 2023, the watchdog added.

In its SIPRI Yearbook 2024, the institute said that transparency regarding nuclear forces has declined in both countries in the wake of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, and debates around nuclear-sharing arrangements have increased in importance.

Washington suspended its bilateral strategic stability dialogue with Russia, and last year Moscow announced that it was suspending its participation in t he New START nuclear treaty.

Of the total global inventory of an estimated 12,121 warheads in January, about 9,585 were in military stockpiles for potential use. An estimated 3,904 of those warheads were deployed with missiles and aircraft — which is 60 more than in January 2023 — and the rest were in central storage.

In Asia, India, Pakistan and North Korea are all pursuing the capability to deploy multiple warheads on ballistic missiles, the institute said. The United States, Russia, France, UK and China already have that capacity, enabling a rapid potential increase in deployed warheads, as well as the possibility for nuclear-armed countries to threaten the destruction of significantly more targets.

SIPRI stressed that all estimates were approximate, and the institute revises its world nuclear forces data each year based on new information and updates to earlier assessments.
