China's Sohu said that Ukraine would like to become a nuclear power

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Kiev inherited a huge amount of nuclear weapons and delivery vehicles, including 1240 nuclear warheads, 176 intercontinental ballistic missiles, and a host of strategic bombers. Ukraine could not afford so much military power, including because of the high costs of its maintenance.

The Chinese edition of Sohu said that now Ukraine would again like to become a nuclear power.



The weapons Kiev chose to destroy or sell to Russia turned Ukraine into a non-nuclear state relying on the support of the West and international organizations.

When Kiev signed the Budapest Treaty, the Russian Federation and other countries promised to ensure its security. At the same time, no one expected that Ukraine would finally spoil relations with one of the main guarantors of its immunity - with Moscow. And that in 2014 Crimea will be forced to turn to Russia for help, and then become one of its subjects. And Moscow also provided support to the Donbass republics, which did not recognize the illegal armed coup in Kiev and declared their independence.

Immediately after that, Ukraine remembered its former "nuclear power", which, in the opinion of some "hotheads" in this country, could ensure its security and prosperity. Sohu notes that the Ukrainian military industry continues to develop the production of ballistic and cruise missiles, and, according to the media resource, "Kiev is capable of reviving nuclear weapons even with the current level of technical development." It is another matter that all the members of the "nuclear club" are officially opposed to this today, understanding how this could end.

        Ukraine has never produced thermonuclear warheads. What do the Chinese write about? Ukraine also does not have its own ballistic and cruise missiles. request

        To do this, you must first be an INDEPENDENT country, which Ukraine cannot boast of.
        I don’t know if there will ever be a recovery in the Ukrainian economy, but I hope that even with a good coincidence of circumstances, its neighbors and “guardians” will not allow it to acquire “nuclear power”. Because, Ukraine, this is a complete inadequacy in actions and words.

                    Uncle ", this is not my nonsense, but the words of the former head of the SBU, Doctor of Technical Sciences IP Smeshko.

                    Your Ph.D. in technical sciences pours into your ears. Stupidly lying.
                    Look for information about nuclear weapons.
                    1) Even the United States does not have an effective technology for uranium enrichment in centrifuges. They were separated by an expensive gas diffusion method. In the 90s, they stopped enriching. Even for nuclear power plants. Initially, they bought weapons-grade uranium from the Russian Federation, pumped it up and sent it to the nuclear power plant, then the Germans built the plant. Right now, they are enriching in German centrifuges. Iran has been plowing for decades, they have not advanced so far.
                    2) There is no normal nuclear weapons without plutonium. Only Pakistani "handicraft" on uranium. Dodgers are made in reactors. A civil NPP with 1 power unit (reactor) is being built for 7-10 years. The price is over 10 billion. This is despite the fact that the technology has been developed.
                    In addition to the operating time in the reactor, it must be separated with acids. What a complex technology there. There have never been such enterprises in Ukraine under the Union. Were only in the RSFSR. Theorists were in Kharkov, but knowing the properties of the atom is one thing, and creating equipment is another.
                    The cost of the issue is tens of billions of dollars, decades of hard work, tens of thousands of specialists, the highest level of secrecy. And all this in Ukraine with Zelensky, Tyagnibok, Turchinov, Klitschko, Lyashko, Saakashvili and the same outstanding scientists and specialists in nuclear physics. laughing fellow
                    3) the design of the ammunition itself. You have no idea what it is. And you better not know.

                    Let's be objective. If you can't make anti-ship missiles, air defense systems and other equipment (with the Soviet legacy yo mayo), don't even dream of nuclear weapons from scratch. The level of science and technology there is not several times, but orders of magnitude higher.
                    For your safety, don't even start. Everyone will be scammed, they will screw everything up, get a second Chernobyl. You don't even need to bomb. You will shatter yourself.

Even if you create a dirty bomb, don't forget about delivery vehicles. Do not hope for the Yuzhnoye design bureau, they already cannot assemble the engines, they have lost all international projects.

        The Memorandum takes effect immediately after signing. That is, it does not require ratification. And for one thing, read the Federal Law on the Ratification of International Treaties
        and the law on ratification was adopted a year later, and there were no precedents for ratifying previous treaties
        but most importantly
        Articles of the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, to which Ukraine and all other signatories of the BM are parties, and, therefore, the provisions of which are binding on them.
        Regarding the name "Memorandum", then, according to Article 2 of this convention, an international treaty is any agreement concluded between states in writing, regardless of its specific name.
        With regard to ratification, as indicated in article 14 of the convention, it is not mandatory and is carried out only when the parties have noted its necessity in the international agreement itself or have agreed otherwise. Article 24 provides that "the agreement comes into force in the manner and on the date provided for in the agreement itself."
        We read the penultimate sentence of the Memorandum: "This Memorandum comes into force from the moment of signing." This phrase, in the absence of a clause on the need for ratification, literally means the following: "This memorandum is not subject to ratification."

        therefore, no one ratified it.

      If we talk purely theoretically, then of course Ukraine has the ability to create nuclear weapons. True, the possibilities, or rather the probabilities of this, are vanishingly small.
      Ukraine has never had a complete nuclear cycle. There was only uranium mining and work with it at the GOK. That’s all. Uranium was not enriched to the weapons grade in Ukraine. The same Iran took almost a decade to get closer to enrichment, far from being a weapon ...

      The same can be said about the carriers (rocketaz). despite the powerful production in the form of Yuzhmash and related industries, again, there was no full cycle. Engines at Yuzhmash were produced, but most often only for breeding stages. Even now, the creation of the same "Thunder-2" by order of Saudi Arabia is going through the stump-deck. But there are also specialists. But "the stone flower does not come out." It will take years to build the same powerful engines.

      So it is with the nuclear program. You can still agree with the amount, although it is too small to create production, but not with time. As it was said in one film, even if you put together 9 pregnant women, they still won't give birth in a month.

      Well, there is absolutely no need, as you write, "to enrich uranium into weapons-grade plutonium." In general, such a process does not exist. There is enrichment of uranium to the weapons-grade level (which is about 92% pure), and there is the separation of plutonium from spent nuclear fuel. Each country "stretches out its legs according to its clothes". For example, the same India, EMNIP relied on plutonium charges, Pakistan - on uranium. Uranium is easier to obtain (in terms of technology) than plutonium.

      There are (or were) about 30 countries in the world, the so-called. "threshold", that is, those that can get nuclear weapons due to the fact that they are technologically advanced, but as you rightly noted, everything rests on the price of these weapons.

      As for the nuclear status of Ukraine, one should not forget that after the collapse of the Union, all the republics that had nuclear weapons on their territory, and especially strategic delivery vehicles, transferred their charges and carriers to Russia, officially declaring their renunciation of nuclear status. so, like it or not, immediately after the collapse of the Soviet Union, there were 4 republics with nuclear status on its territory. Kazakhstan, Belarus and Ukraine. And our "partners" from across the ocean have made every effort to ensure that only Russia remains nuclear. This can be seen even from the way money was allocated so that the same Ukraine would destroy its potential (missiles and bombers)

      You are mostly right. The problems with the creation of missile weapons in Ukraine are above the roof, although it must still be said that they bungled the Neptune. But more serious, such as "Thunder-2" - fortunately not yet.
      The technology of centrifuges Ukraine, if necessary, can get it. There is a shadow market for nuclear technology. it is from this market that Iran obtained the centrifuge technology. And now it is already putting into operation almost 6 or 7 modifications of these centrifuges.

      Look for information about nuclear weapons.
      1) Even the United States does not have an effective technology for uranium enrichment in centrifuges. They were separated by an expensive gas diffusion method. In the 90s, they stopped enriching. Even for nuclear power plants. Initially, they bought weapons-grade uranium from the Russian Federation, pumped it up and sent it to the nuclear power plant, then the Germans built the plant. Right now, they are enriching in German centrifuges. Iran has been plowing for decades, they have not advanced so far.

      Well, to be precise, not exactly the way you write. The Americans have an experienced cascade of their own centrifuges (by the way, the centrifuges are 10 meters high, which others do not have). But that's not the point. They started out first and followed the path of the gaseous diffusion method. Which has now been closed.

      About buying and unlocking weapons-grade uranium. It was not they who were energizing, but we were already selling them enriched uranium for nuclear power plants.

      Iran is plowing. And I must say that Obama was far from being a stupid person to make such a deal. For by this he limited the number of centrifuges (about 5500), which means he "stretched" Iran's ability to enrich to the weapons-grade level in time. But Trump acted like an elephant in a china shop. As a result, instead of the IR-1 / 1M, IR-2 and IR-4/5 centrifuges, Iran now has the IR-7, IR-8 and IR-9 centrifuges with much higher capacity.
