Tuumarelvade

Tuumarelvade (nuclear weapons) are explosive devices that derive their destructive force from nuclear reactions, either through nuclear fission or a combination of fission and fusion reactions. These weapons possess immense destructive power, capable of causing catastrophic damage on a massive scale. The first atomic bombs were developed and used during World War II, with the United States dropping them on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. This marked the only use of nuclear weapons in warfare.

Since then, several nations have developed and amassed nuclear arsenals, leading to a complex geopolitical landscape often referred to as the "nuclear age." The proliferation of nuclear weapons remains a significant international concern, with ongoing efforts by organizations like the United Nations to promote disarmament and prevent their spread. The effects of nuclear explosions are devastating, including intense heat, blast waves, and widespread radioactive fallout, which can have long-lasting environmental and health consequences. International treaties and agreements aim to control the testing, production, and deployment of these weapons, emphasizing deterrence and the prevention of their use.
