Talking about the types of nuclear weapons, it should be noted that in Russia, and it has played a positive value.Creating this type of arms required the development of high technologies, the study of basic and applied science, to increase productivity.All this has led to an increase in the role of scientists in politics, an end to useless repression, to increase investment in education and science.

Kurchatov together with his colleagues could give the country a guarantee of safety.On top of the foundations were laid for nuclear power.Subsequently, however, the process has begun in the negative way.The experts were told that for the security of the nation will be enough only 500 charges.However, the 70-th years.military-industrial complex began to pursue their activities beyond comprehension.It produced about 30,000 charges.And it is this, according to experts, it played a role in the collapse of the Soviet Union.

  3. geophysical weapons.The real development occurred only in America.Serious use of the weapons did not occur, as the lithosphere plates have not been studied in sufficient volume.

There are many types of weapons that can be considered mass.However, their actual use is difficult because of the lack of a theoretical framework.
