President of Russia Vladimir Putin: We consider the US withdrawal from the INF Treaty, that entailed its termination, as a serious mistake, which increases the risks of triggering a missile arms race, rise of confrontational potential and sliding into an uncontrolled escalation.

Президент России Владимир Путин: Считаем выход США из Договора о РСМД, в результате чего он прекратил свое действие, серьезной ошибкой, которая усиливает риски развязывания гонки ракетных вооружений, роста конфронтационного потенциала и скатывания к неконтролируемой эскалации.

📆 79 years ago, on 16 July 1945, world’s first nuclear bomb was detonated in USA’s New Mexico as part of the project aimed at creation of new weapons.

💣 The detonation of the bomb, nicknamed “The Gadget”, left a crater in the desert 1,5 m deep and 9,1 m wide. It was felt over 160 km away with the mushroom cloud reaching 12,1 km in height.

The Gadget” was of the same design as “The Fat Man” later detonated by the United States over Japan’s Nagasaki.
