핵 군축 협정 종료, 제3차 핵 시대 [디펜스프라임 138회] @kfnplus

With the expiration of the last nuclear disarmament agreement between the U.S. and Russia, ‘#NewSTART,’ last February, the world has entered a new phase of nuclear arms race. Russia proceeded with the test launch of the ‘#Sarmat,’ a new ICBM capable of striking the U.S. mainland and also the so-called ‘Devil’s Missile,’ while the U.S. unusually disclosed information regarding its next-generation ICBM, the ‘Sentinel’ launch facility, as well as nuclear submarines considered ‘top secret.’ Meanwhile, China is rapidly increasing its nuclear warheads and advancing its ‘#Nuclear Tri-axis System.’ This is the so-called ‘Third Nuclear Era.’ How will our security environment change amidst this evolving nuclear order? [From 410 to 620 in 3 Years; China’s Nuclear Warheads Projected to Reach 1,500 by 2035] The Stockholm International Peace Institute (SIPRI), which has been publishing annual global nuclear weapons trends, warned in its 2026 annual report of major nuclear powers abandoning nuclear disarmament. In particular, China is expanding its nuclear capabilities by adding more than 200 nuclear warheads over the past three years, while simultaneously accelerating the advancement of its so-called "nuclear tri-axis system," centered on ground-based ICBMs like the Dongfeng (DF)-61, next-generation Type 096 nuclear submarines, and H-20 strategic bombers. What is the reason behind China's rapid expansion of its nuclear power? [Uncontrolled Nuclear Race: What About New Nuclear Disarmament Negotiations?] The United States and Russia possess approximately 86% of the world's nuclear warheads. With the expiration of "New START," the last nuclear disarmament agreement between these two nuclear powers, without extension, a vacuum has emerged in the nuclear arms control system. The United States advocates for including China, which is increasing its nuclear arsenal at a frightening pace, in the disarmament agreement, while China draws a line against this. Furthermore, Russia is demanding the participation of other nuclear powers, such as the United Kingdom and France. As the interests of these nations clash, new nuclear disarmament negotiations are facing difficulties. In an era of nuclear disarmament vacuums, what impact will an uncontrolled #nuclear race have on the security of the Korean Peninsula? ▶ [KFN-TV: Friday 8 PM] • [KFN YouTube: Saturday 8 AM] Released! ▶ KFN Channel Number Guide Skylife (163) • Genie TV (101) • U+tv (244) • SK Btv (263) ▶ Install the KFN #APP to watch the live broadcast anytime, anywhere. ▶ Some background music was produced using AI technology.
