Nuclear Weapon

The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons bans nuclear arms and mandates their destruction, but none of the nine nuclear powers has joined it. The signal is stark: the bomb remains the ultimate security guarantee—and possessing it brings impunity.

After a decadeslong hiatus, the weapons have surged back to the forefront of global politics.

Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin’s hints at reviving tests of nuclear weapons recall a terrifying chapter of history — one marked by the danger of human extinction. As old ambitions resurface, the question is whether nuke-happy leaders will heed common sense.

America’s return to nuclear testing may sound like a geopolitical tactic, but it risks taking apart decades of global restraint. Far from strengthening America, it could set off a chain reaction that sees China make bigger advances and leaves the world even more vulnerable.

As nuclear treaties crumble and the rhetoric on nukes takes a reckless turn, the world edges that much closer to catastrophe. To revive the diplomacy of restraint, India should champion a no-first-use pact among nuclear-armed states. The world’s safety demands no less.

US President Donald Trump ordered the Pentagon to resume testing nuclear weapons ahead of his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, which he billed as a “G2” summit, an arrangement last floated by Barack Obama.

The film ‘A House of Dynamite’ forces us to confront a chilling reality about the nuclear age—uncertainty is inevitable. When it comes to the crunch of making a decision on firing a nuke, theory often fails. Leaders must get back to arms control talks.

A decision to resume nuclear testing would break a decadeslong moratorium, spurring debate over the consequences.

On the heels of major advances, Pyongyang is shifting away from seeking attention with a flurry of launches and focusing on solidifying its nuclear status.

As drone warfare reshapes battlefields around the world, India must augment its air and missile defence systems with drones. We need local tech for all types—from eyes in the sky and cheap decoys to lethal combat drones that can fly in coordination with manned fighters.
