In its latest report, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) reveals alarming developments in global nuclear arms expansion. Released annually, SIPRI's assessment for 2024 highlights a significant surge in the world's nuclear arsenals. The report underscores ongoing modernization efforts among the nine nuclear-armed states, including the deployment of new nuclear systems throughout 2023.

As of January 2024, the global inventory of nuclear warheads reached 12,121, marking an increase of 60 deployed warheads from the previous year. Particularly concerning is the escalation in high operational alert warheads, now including China alongside Russia and the USA. SIPRI also highlights China's rapid expansion, with its arsenal growing from 410 to 500 warheads in just one year, potentially rivalling the capabilities of traditional nuclear powers by the decade's end.
