- Iv 12y agoThanks. So this basically means that this data dates from 1986, right?
- Intermernet 12y agoFollowing the source links, it seems they may be using this comment from here http://bos.sagepub.com/content/71/1/85.full.pdf+html http://bos.sagepub.com/content/71/1/85.full.pdf+html: >"Most recently, in December 2014, the Notebook did an exhaustive review of Israel's nuclear arsenal and concluded that claims it has 200 to 400 warheads are probably exaggerated and that the country's stockpile is more likely in the range of roughly 80 nuclear warheads (Kristensen and Norris, 2014b). Getting the size and composition right is important because it hints at Israeli intentions, and can therefore have a significant effect on threat perceptions in the Middle East and the potential nuclear aspirations of other countries in the region"
