International Conflict, Western World Threats and Geopolitical Intelligence
The discovery of designs for a compact nuclear bomb has raised fears that Iran and North Korea might have obtained blueprints enabling them to mount long-range strikes with nuclear-armed missiles.
Designs for a nuclear device small enough to fit on a ballistic missile were found on computers linked to the international smuggling ring that supplied nuclear technology to Iran, Libya and North Korea, a top US expert says.

NUCLEAR SHARKS I - Final Mission :: [Part 1 of 5] The History Channel Documentary 'Under way on nuclear power.' These historic words are spoken on January 17, 1955 by Hyman G. Rickover from the bridge of the world's first nuclear submarine, the USS Nautilus. The Nautilus owes her existence to Rickover, a brilliant, uncompromising Admiral in the US Navy with a totally original idea: the nuclear submarine. Without Rickover, the nuclear submarine would not have existed for at least another decade; without Rickover, the Cold War would not have escalated into a battle waged not on land, but in the silent deep. The Soviet Union is years behind the United States in nuclear submarine development. The United States will reach the North Pole in a nuclear submarine before the Russians have even mastered their own design. But by 1960, the...

Regulus cruise missile THIS FILM IS PUBLIC DOMAIN Regulus cruise missile At the end of Second World War America found herself with a strong submarine force of little strategic importance. Based on the design of the German V1 rocket, the Regulus guided cruise missile program ushered in a new era that changed the strategic role of the submarine forever. Development of the Regulus Cruise Missile SSM-N-8 began in 1947 by the United States Navy and Chance Vought Aircraft. This unmanned turbojet powered vehicle system was capable of delivering a 3000 pound 40-50 kiloton W5 or 2800 pound 1-2 megaton W27 thermonuclear warhead within a range of 500 nautical miles. Today the Regulus is all but forgotten ... a historical footnote to its successors - the Polaris, Poseidon and Trident ballistic missiles that could be...

SS-23 Spider 9K714 OKA Missile In the early 1970s, the Soviet Army sought a replacement for the 9K72 Elbrus (SS-1C `Scud B') system, which had a very slow reaction time [around 90 minutes to prepare and fire] and its poor accuracy when using conventional warheads. The replacement system, codename 9K714 Oka, was developed by KB Mashinostroyenia (Machine Industry Design Bureau) in Kolomna. The new 9K714 system featured a reaction time of under 30 minutes and used the low-maintenance solid-fuel 9M714 missile. The 300 km range of the R-300 (`Scud') was surpassed by the 400 km range of the 9M714/R-400. In the early 1970s the Warsaw Pact had only a limited ability to strike North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) air bases in Europe. However, by the mid-1980s Soviet forces could strike NATO airfields in all types of... Tags: army, MAZ, military, missile, nuclear, OKA, rocket, Russia, Russian, SS-23, Tactical, Theater, truck |

Topol-M SS-27 Missile ICBM The single-warhead Topol-M is an advanced version of the silo-based and mobile Topol intercontinental ballistic missile. The solid-propellant three- stage Topol-M missile complex, with a standardized (silo and mobile) missile, is to become the foundation of the Russian strategic nuclear forces in the 21st century. It is planned to accommodate Topol-M both on self-propelled launchers as well as in silos. High survivability of the mobile complex is achieved by the capability of offroad movement, of a continuous change in location and of a missile launch from any point along the movement route. The Moscow Institute of Heat Engineering (MIT) State Enterprise is the only plant in Russia building such missiles today. The modernized 45-ton Topol-M is the first strategic missile to be built by... Tags: army, ballistic, ICBM, MAZ, military, missile, nuclear, rocket, Russia, Russian, SS-27, Strategic, Topol, truck |

1950's Cold War US Airforce Training Video - Nuclear Weapons The Strategic Air Command (SAC) was the operational establishment of the United States Air Force in charge of America's bomber-based and ballistic missile-based strategic nuclear arsenal from 1946 to 1992. SAC also controlled the infrastructure necessary to support their operations (such as tanker aircraft to fuel the bombers and, until 1959, fighter escorts). On October 19, 1948 Lt. General Curtis Emerson LeMay took over as commander of SAC, and set about a dramatic rebuilding of the command's forces, as well as their mission. LeMay, who had masterminded the American attacks on the Japanese mainland during the war (including the firebombing of Tokyo and other cities), was a staunch believer in the power of strategic bombing: the destruction of an enemy's cities and industrial centers....

Chinese Nuclear Test "CHIC-4" A short clip showing the detonation of the Chinese nuclear test "CHIC-4". On October 27, 1966, China conducted its first test of a nuclear warhead launched on a missile. A prototype DongFeng-2 missile was used for this experiment. The DF-2 missile was largely based on the Soviet R-5. The missile academy only had drawings and notes of the R-5, however, they would form the basis of the design. The DF-2 was a single stage missile fueled by non-storable alcohol and liquid oxygen. The missile was designed to carry a 20 kiloton nuclear warhead and had a range of 1,450 kilometers. The first successful test launch of the DF-2 came in June 1964. The live nuclear test of the DF-2 came in October 1966. The missile armed with a nuclear warhead was launched by the Second Artillery Corps at...

French Nuclear Test "Canopus" A few clips of France's first thermonuclear weapon test, "Canopus". Fangataufa was chosen as the site for France's first true hydrogen bomb test, code named Canopus. The three ton device was based on a design developed by Luc Dagens. It was purely experimental and not thought to have been a design based on an actual warhead. It used a lithium-6 deuteride secondary with a highly enriched uranium jacket. The design of the Canopus device was predicted to have a high fission yield. As a result, it was decided to detonate it at Fangataufa to prevent contamination of the main base at Mururoa. The device was transported to Fangataufa where it was attached and suspended underneath a large, helium filled balloon. The balloon was raised to an altitude of 520 meters (1,664 feet) for the test to... Tags: bomb, France, French, hydrogen, nuclear, test, thermonuclear |

Project 903 Lun (Hen-harrier) Missile Launcher WIG Project 903 Lun Missile Launcher Ekranoplane Wing-In-Ground (WIG) effect craft take advantage the fact that the aerodynamic efficiency of a wing, and particularly its lifting capacity, improves dramatically when is operated within approximately one-half of its span above ground or water, in what is termed ground effect. If the wing's natural accelerated flow passing over it is further accelerated by the high-velocity exhaust of a turbojet engine, the lifting capacity of the wing is even more greatly enhanced. In 1966 the Central Hydrofoil Design Bureau under Rostislav Alekseev produced a gargantuan "ekranoplan" ("surface plane") combining the smooth hull form of a ship with stub wings, a large vertical fin and horizontal tail. The craft featured ten engines: eight mounted in two... Tags: 903, Ekranoplane, Launcher, Lun, Missile, Project, WIG |

Russian Submarine Russian nuclear submarines in training start-up of ballistic missiles in the Arctic Ocean. NATO apparently derived the name 'Typhoon' from a 1974 speech by Leonid Brezhnev which mentioned a new SSBN called the "Tayfun". In fact, the Russian name for the class is "Akula" -- "Shark". During the Cold War the Typhoon submarines prowled the waters of the North Atlantic. The Typhoon is the world's largest submarine and was one of the most feared weapons of the Cold War. Each submarine is capable of carrying twenty long-range ballistic missiles RSM-52 ( SS-N-20 ballistic missiles, now SS-N-28 new Russian ballistic missiles) with up to 200 nuclear warheads that were once aimed at the United States. The design of the Typhoon submarine is multi-hulled and bears resemblance to a catamaran. The...

Trinity Nuclear Weapon Test Trinity was the first test of technology for a nuclear weapon. It was conducted by the United States on July 16, 1945, at a location 35 miles (56 km) southeast of Socorro, New Mexico, on what is now White Sands Missile Range, headquartered near Alamogordo. Trinity was a test of an implosion-design plutonium bomb. The Fat Man bomb, using the same conceptual design, was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, on August 9th. The Trinity detonation was equivalent to the explosion of around 20 kilotons of TNT and is usually considered the beginning of the Atomic Age.

ICBM Interceptor - "Nike-SPRINT" This amazing missile represents the pinnacle of guided rocket design. Designed to defend America from Russian nuclear missiles, at top speed the nosecone becomes so heated by air friction that the gas of an acetylene torch would have a COOLING effect on it. Watch for close up 2nd stage seperation. The missile's top speed is around 10,000 miles per hour (according to one source).

THE "596": CHINA'S FIRST ATOMIC BOMB WARNING: DO NOT POST RACIST, INSULTING, OR RUDE COMMENTS. ANY USER WHO POSTS MESSAGES INSULTING CHINA OR THIS PARTICULAR VIDEO WILL HAVE THEIR SHARE! The date 1964-10-16 is a very meaningful date to the People's Republic of China. It is the day that China showed its true military power. It was the day on which China became the world's fifth nuclear nation. On November 16, 1964, China succesfully detonated its first atomic bomb. It was a 22-kiloton implosion-triggered device that used only Uranium-235 (which was the only fissile material available at that time), exploded over the Lop-Nur test site. At the time of the test, the U.S. had already threatened China five times with nuclear attack. So, WHAT NOW, America? The Chinese nuclear program started in the late 1950s, and the code-name...

French Nuclear Test "Aldeberan" A few clips from the French nuclear test "Aldeberan". Aldebaran was the first nuclear test conducted at the CEP. This was a test of the MR-50 CTC (Charge Tactique Commune - common tactical warhead). This was the first test in which a barge was used for the detonation of the nuclear device. The barge containing the nuclear device was moored at the Dindon testing sector on the western end of the atoll. This method of testing would be used for a further three tests (Rigel, Sirius, and Arcturus). Aldebaran was detonated at 5:34 local time on July 2, 1966 with a yield of 28 kilotons. Unpredicted wind change following the explosion spread radioactive fallout over the nearby islands of the Gambiers. Aldebaran was one of 10 nuclear tests in which wind changed direction shortly after... Tags: Atomic, France, French, Nuclear, test |

India and China's military strength，印度中国的军事实力 In military affairs, first of all look at military technology. India's missile technology rather about China in the 1970s to the 80s level, the gap in more than 20 years. India's Agni missile level of less than 1 waves China. At that time, China has missiles and nuclear submarines, and India do not have the independence to the development of these two technologies. India's development of the blue anti-aircraft missiles from its body of the former Soviet Union Sam 6, Trident missiles at low altitudes there are serious technical problems, not performance, such as the development of China's 80 red 7. At that time, China's high-altitude air defense has been the development of TMD "fight back." Aviation technology gap between China and India is the smallest in the field of military...
