What is New START Treaty between Russia and US?
The New START treaty was signed between Russia and USA, came into force in 2011, and was extended till 2021.
This treaty decides the number of nuclear warheads the US and Russia can deploy, and allows inspectors of each side to ensure the compliance of the treaty by each other, with 18 inspections each year.
This was the last nuclear pact between the superpowers and now that Russia Suspends Nuclear Weapons pact, it becomes uncertain to how many nuclear heads are deployed in how many regions around the world.
