The New START agreement stipulates setting a maximum limit for directed nuclear warheads for Russia and the United States, and the agreement set it at 1550 nuclear warheads for both, and the exchange of information regarding their long-range nuclear weapons. Even what remains of this nuclear arsenal, which was reduced by the agreement, from 10,000 nuclear warheads to 1,550, is enough to completely destroy life on Earth. The most important objective of the agreement is to monitor the armaments of the two countries and to ensure their safety and the non-occurrence of a technical or human error that could lead to a global nuclear catastrophe.
The two countries have taken a specific way to achieve this goal, through joint committees of nuclear weapons experts from both countries inspecting military bases in both countries no less than 18 times a year (once every 3 weeks) to see closely the size of armament and the number of bases for firing warheads. nuclear power and provide the required safety that prevents nuclear accidents, such as what happened in the Chernobyl reactor, located near the Ukrainian city of Pripyat in 1986.
The control also aims to keep the nuclear armament in the two countries to a minimum, and not resort to increasing this arsenal, which does not achieve any goal, especially since nuclear armament costs huge amounts of money and requires strict and continuous safety measures. There is no doubt that the beneficiaries of this agreement are the two countries, Russia and America, and with them the countries of the whole world, and that the size of the benefit for the two countries is equal, if each of them knew the nuclear capabilities of the other, then he would not need to guess what the other might hide from his rival in terms of weapons, due to the lack of information related Arming the other side, which leads to a nuclear arms race, which is financially costly, politically and strategically dangerous, and disrupts scientific and technical progress in other fields.
