Summary/Abstract: The international environment, as the sum of international actors and their relationships, is everchanging, while constant is only the interest in promoting and protecting own interests. Military power is far from having exhausted its possibility to shape international security, and the nuclear weapons, from its inception, in conjunction with a secure vector of the missile (target) are one of its essential components.Why should we approach the problem of nuclear armament at about 68 years from the “life demonstration” from Hiroshima and Nagasaki and 22 years since the end of the Cold War?The answer could reside only in the fact that the general security issue of possessing nucleararmament has been and still is indisputably modern as most of the post Cold War conflicts have been directly motivated by the accusation of having weapons of mass destruction. In addition, the cause of potential conflicts on short and medium term identifies mainly the same problem.
