While the world is still preoccupied with the Corona virus, the self-serving arms race continues with exceptional and alarming intensity, with each side of the conflict displaying a larger and more powerful missile. Last Friday, US President Donald Trump revealed that the US military had developed a 17x times hypersonic missile, compared to Russian and Chinese military missiles at speeds between 5 and 6 times the sound speed.

Trump's announcement comes after a series of Russian statements about new nuclear missiles moving at speeds of between 9 and 10 from the speed of sound. President Vladimir Putin has stated on several occasions about a series of new nuclear weapons that should hit any point in the United States or Europe, easily overcoming current defense systems, Putin said. Among other things, he revealed the existence of marine nuclear torpedoes that are supposed to operate huge tsunami gardens and more.

The third factor in the equation, China, maintains, as usual, great ambiguity in all matters of military development. However, military parades in the country and publications in Chinese media indicate that the Communist state is also making a particularly great effort in the direction. Thus, last year China apparently unintentionally revealed the ability to fire long-range nuclear missiles, as well as hyper-sonic missiles that can be launched from heavy bombers.

China has been engaged in a wide range of innovative projects in recent years, including the possibility of damaging enemy satellites, missiles that destroy one aircraft carrier, high-flying aircraft, and the addition of quantum satellite communications.

Chinese ambiguity is also convenient for Americans, who began developing new nuclear missiles this year, a fact revealed by chance in a hidden budget section of the new US Budget Law. Also, US labor in March for laser-firing and intercepting capabilities.

From time to time, it was revealed that while Russia was conducting an open arms race for propaganda purposes against the West. The United States and China are examining every order for cutting-edge nuclear and laser defense tools, with all publications on the subject being mainly accidental or fielded by security parties. In the meantime, the US has withdrawn from the Nuclear Weapons Convention, apparently due to a Russian development and arms race on the issue. The powers are leaning forward in the field for a new generation of nuclear weapons.

An expression of this race was China's explicit charge of conducting nuclear experiments at the country's nuclear testing facility, in contradiction to the International Convention against such experiments. The unprecedented indictment in American media has brought to the surface the huge tension that exists on the issue.

At the same time there is an arms race for small, tactical nuclear weapons that will make the possibility of nuclear combat a viable option. The US Strategic Command recently conducted war games called "top table" when the scenario was limited to nuclear war. In response triggers example weapon.
