Nuclear weapons, remain an important part of Russian military policy, as a guarantors of peace, and security among great powers.
During the Cold War, the Soviet Union prioritised nuclear weapons, for both their political and military capabilities. Although Russia's nuclear arsenal has diminished, since the end of the Cold War, it still maintains thousands of warheads, including missiles and bombers, that can reach US soil
The Russian nuclear defence system, consists of 700 nuclear weapon carriers, strategic bombers, nuclear submarines, and intercontinental ballistic missile silos, that can launch hundreds of autonomous nuclear missiles, if the country is destroyed by a nuclear attack, and no human operators are available
The Soviet Union created a world-ending device, that would automatically explode all of its nuclear weapons, without any instruction from an actual person. However, the Novichok nerve poison, the world's biggest nuclear weapon, and Russia's doomsday bomb, to mention a few, that were destroyed.
