Why Russia's 100-Megaton Nuclear Torpedo Is No Atomic Terror Weapon
*Lyle J. Goldstein* *Security, Europe* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2017%3Anewsml_RC1B9F173360&share=true] It is slow and clunky and destabilizing. *Key Point:* This weapons looks and sounds scary. However, it doesn't add much to deterrence and is instead harmful to stability. The “collateral damage” of the Russia investigation becomes ever more apparent.

Ranked: The 5 Deadliest Air Forces in History
*Robert Farley* *Security, * Today, airpower plays a constitutive role in almost every conceivable military action.

*David Axe* *Security, Asia* An effective Chinese ballistic-missile submarine fleet over the long term could have a stabilizing influence on the world's nuclear balance. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *“If China allows nationalistic sentiments to induce it to build a massive sea-based nuclear capability beyond any practical security needs, this could raise doubts in foreign countries about Beijing’s strategic intentions and contribute to an unnecessary, damaging strategic arms competition,” Tong warns. China for decades has struggled to develop nuclear ballistic-missile subm... more »
Why More and More Diesel Submarines Keep Getting Built
*Robert Farley* *Security, * Does this mean that the United States should invest in these kinds of boats? Probably not. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *There is no question that AIP-equipped boats pose a threat, under some conditions, to the large nuclear attack submarines that many great navies have come to rely on. However, this does not necessarily mean that the best response for the U.S. Navy is to invest in these conventional subs. Over the past decade, air-independent propulsion (AIP) for submarines has spread rapidly around the world. The technology, which allows co... more »
