Strategic arms

Strategic arms refer to powerful weapons systems, particularly nuclear missiles and bombs, designed for long-range targets and significant destruction. They play a key role in national defense strategies, deterring potential threats through the concept of mutually assured destruction, where both sides are aware that any nuclear attack would lead to devastating retaliation. Countries develop and maintain these arms to assert power and ensure security on a global scale. Treaties and agreements often aim to limit the number and spread of strategic arms to prevent escalation and promote stability in international relations.
