Pentagon warns of China’s plans for dominance in Taiwan and beyond 2022-11-29T05:00:00Z Mr Danyliuk stressed that even a missile armed with a non-explosive warhead "posed a significant danger" because of its kinetic energy and fuel residues. Ukraine war: Kyiv displays Russian nuclear-capable missile 2022-12-01T05:00:00Z China first tested a nuclear weapon in 1964, but it has long trailed far behind the U.S. and Russia in the number of warheads in its arsenal.
