The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) has released a report highlighting a significant increase in the number of nuclear warheads deployed with missiles and aircraft. The report indicates that nuclear-armed countries are modernizing their arsenals amid deteriorating geopolitical relations. China's nuclear arsenal has grown from 410 warheads in January 2023 to 500 by January 2024, making it the fastest-growing nuclear stockpile. The United States and Russia continue to hold the largest arsenals, with 5,044 and 5,580 warheads, respectively. India has also expanded its nuclear arsenal, now possessing more warheads than Pakistan. Overall, the global nuclear stockpile stands at 12,121 warheads, with the US and Russia owning 90% of them. Researchers urge world leaders to step back and reflect on the increasing reliance on nuclear weapons as a deterrent. Nuclear powers spent $91.4 billion on their arsenals last year, with spending increasing by 34% over the past five years. US spending rose by 45% and UK spending by 43%, with current trends indicating it will surpass $100bn in 2024.
