Franklin Delano Roosevelt
President of the United States from 1932 to 1945
A brief biography of one of the most important creators of American foreign policy of modern times and his relation to nuclear armaments.
Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) in many different variants is an ever-recurring idea of American politicians since the late 1950s, when the Soviet Union launched its first intercontinental ballistic missile.
(Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile - ICBM). Intercontinental ballistic missiles, which can carry nuclear warheads and other weapons of mass destruction, are capable of hitting the territories of states separated by oceans or continents in a matter of tens of minutes. Anti-missile systems will be designed to shoot down ballistic missiles during their short flight and thus protect against the attack of these missiles.
Currently, 31,000 nuclear missiles are directly deployed or stored in eight countries: China, France, India, Israel, Pakistan, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States. Of this number, 13,000 are deployed and 4,600 are on call, ready for immediate launch within minutes of notification. The combined explosive charge gives these weapons a force of 5,000 mega-tons, which is 200,000 times more than the bombs used on Hiroshima.
