  What are nuclear weapons? They are extremely powerful explosives. You might remember the words atoms and isotopes from science lessons - they're involved in the process of triggering a nuclear blast.

IMAGE S Image caption, The US dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945 Nuclear weapons release huge amounts of radiation - which can cause  radiation sickness  - so their actual impact lasts longer than the blast. But they've only ever been used twice in history - against Japan in 1945 during World War Two where they caused huge devastation and enormous loss of life. The radiation from the bomb  dropped on the city of Hiroshima  lasted several months and killed an estimated 80,000 people. And the bomb dropped on Nagasaki killed  more than  70,000...

  Every country that wants to protect its air space must have the newest and the best fighter jets in its arsenal. Currently, the 5 th generation fighter airplanes with their latest weapons, powerful engines and stealth capabilities are the most advanced.  But many countries already started developing 6 th generation fighter jets, while 4th generation fighters remain the backbone of a majority of air forces around the world.
