NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN THE STRATEGIES OF THE UNITED STATES AND NATO STRATEGY OF MASSIVE RETALIATION AND FLEXIBLE RESPONSE

Journal Title: Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces - Year 2016, Vol 181, Issue 3

Abstract

The introduction of the hydrogen bomb to the nuclear arsenal turned out to be a breakthrough in the creation of the strategic deterrence system. It determined the evolution of the nuclear strategy on both sides of the “Iron Curtain”. The appearance of high-power light thermonuclear bombs became an impulse for the creation of ballistic missiles. Globally, this type of weapon significantly speeded up reaching a nuclear stalemate and contributed to taking up efforts to seek measures of a limited nuclear war and a “flexible response” as an alternative to massive retaliation.
