The fate of the START Treaty and nuclear arms control, in general, has become clearer Now when the U.S. presidential elections are over the fate of the START Treaty and nuclear arms control, in general, has become clearer. The New START treaty is set to expire on February ...
... obvious that nearly fifty years old history of nuclear arms control is coming to its end. After U.S. withdrawal from the INF Treaty it has become obvious that nearly fifty years old history of nuclear arms control is coming to its end. The New START treaty is set to expire on February 5, 2021 and there is little doubt that it will be the end of it. It could be extended if both countries agree (they should express their intention to extend the treaty not later than September 2, 2020). Given ...
... administration in power in Washington, the INF Treaty may well be denounced in the foreseeable future. Another manifestation of the crisis in nuclear arms control is that it has been six years since Russia and the United States last held talks on the next START Treaty.

As is known, the new START Treaty has established for the sides the ceilings of 1550 "deployed" nuclear warheads and 700 "deployed" ICBMs and SLBMs launchers, as well as heavy bombers. Meanwhile, the total number of "deployed" and "non-deployed" ...
How will the strategic balance of power change after START-III and US ABM system deployment? The reduction of nuclear arsenals of the two leading global powers is in the interests of maintaining strategic stability and international security. However, the disarmament process under START-III cannot bring about changes in the balance of forces in the area of strategic weapons in favor of one side, simultaneously creating a threat to national security of the other. The reduction of strategic offensive...
