U.S. Air Force University of Strategic Studies Quarterly recently published an article saying that China currently (http://www.newtiffanyjewelry.com)has about 400 nuclear warheads, of which 200 are in actual combat deployment of state of 30 intercontinental ballistic missiles can strike the United States. U.S. Air Force researchers believe that the United States and Russia, compared with China's nuclear weapons stockpile while a small number, but the full deterrent, and suggested that the United States take the smallest of China's strategic reserves, with 311 nuclear weapons, nuclear safety can be guaranteed.
China has 100 medium-range weapons that can fight against the U.S. military bases in the Pacific Ocean
The theme of this Quarterly article deterrence of nuclear weapons capabilities and how much would be sufficient. In accordance with the author's understanding of, the state should set up the proportion of nuclear deterrence. Defense States should maintain a state the minimum number of nuclear weapons necessary for survival. The number of nuclear weapons, the destructive power of the aggressor and the aggressor should be expected to get swept after the success of the same material. Here swept object, territory, industrial productivity and so on. If such deterrence through punishment of sexual assault to achieve defensive States must aggressor's population centers / industrial center set to target. In France during the Cold War against the Soviet Union deployed nuclear weapons, for example, the French need to deploy "and the French equal to the value of" number of nuclear weapons, that is equivalent to the weight of population of 50 million, or enough to fight against the Soviet Union 100-150 major cities in the power of nuclear weapons. Therefore, a number of countries with nuclear weapons, have sufficient deterrent force, depends on the country's geographical territory defense.
U.S. Air Force researchers at the University that China is proportional to the deterrence theory use this, select at least deterrence strategy, which can be seen the number of China's nuclear weapons. It is estimated that China now has nearly 400 nuclear weapons, of which 200 are in actual combat deployment, there are 30 intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) can strike the United States, there are 10 pieces of equipment capable of transmitting to the United States Hawaii and Alaska. In addition, China still has 100 medium-range weapons used against U.S. military bases in the Pacific region, partners and allies. China, deployment, is that the deployment of these weapons the United States have been enough to cause "of equal value with Taiwan," the loss, because once the event of any conflict between the two countries, Taiwan's first to become bargaining chips.
In contrast, the United States now has 450 intercontinental ballistic missiles, each missile can carry three warheads; the 18 Trident submarines, each vessel is equipped with 24 ship submersible sea-based ballistic missiles (SLBM), each chop, sea-based ballistic missiles carrying eight warheads; the United States there are over 100 nuclear forces, fighter aircraft, with a high carrying capacity, can carry air-launched cruise missile (ALCM). Russia's nuclear forces and the United States comparable to form similar. However, China seems to have nothing to fear such a disparity in nuclear forces, faced with a strong lineup of the United States and Russia still go its own way to the development of conventional weapons and the modernization of our expansion in the region of influence.
China confident of existing nuclear weapons in quantities sufficient to deter an adversary
The researchers believe that China's strategic nuclear weapons, its own clever. Although China has a relatively weak compared to the power of nuclear weapons, but China confident these numbers there is already sufficient deterrent. Compete in international politics, this small-scale deployment of nuclear weapons have played a double stabbing outside an effect within. Outside the constraints of other countries, can be arbitrary, including the development of weapons of their choice.
Some countries are already aware of shrewd real huge arsenal is not effective. Like other areas of competition, like after a certain point earnings will be reduced to the critical point of nuclear weapons faster. In China's case, the United States or Russia, it almost impossible to take any military action to block China's military buildup. It is precisely because China is also aware of this point, so China's nuclear weapons development always wish fulfilled. China will change this strategy (http://www.newtiffanyjewelry.com)? Of course, if China's demand has been stimulated strategy may change
