My colleague @mattkorda in Wired discussing his recent study (with @igor_moric) - Inspections Without Inspectors https://t.co/EDxquq76N7 - about use of OSINT for arms control. https://t.co/SFbVR09tXI

Spoke with Martin Burcharth for Dagbladet Information on what happens if New START expires: https://t.co/50HvGIed93

Without transparency and predictability, the U.S. and Russia may default to distrust and planning for worst-case scenarios.

"Arctic security should be managed among NATO allies through the collective efforts of all and under the alliance’s framework, with a far stronger European and US contribution," writes @igor_moric.

🚨A new piece in the @BulletinAtomic.

Greenland's geographical location provides no logical benefit to the Golden Dome: a space focused architecture of interceptors and sensors.

Thanks to @francoisdm and the Bulletin team for the careful edit and publication.

Was interviewed by @martinburcharth for his Dagbladet Information article on Greenland and the Golden Dome.

As the article title states, calling Greenland “vital” to the Golden Dome is nonsense.

🚨 New @scientistsorg report by @igor_moric + me tackling a critical question:

Given that on-site nuclear arms control verification between the US + Russia is unlikely in the near-term, could a cooperative use of remote sensing tools act as a replacement?

[Federation of American Scientists🔬 @scientistsorg]

With the impending expiration of New START, it is vital to prevent arms control progress from backsliding.

If on-site inspections are impossible, then "Cooperative Technical Means" can temporarily fill that gap.

[Igor Moric @igor_moric]

In the worst case, capacities developed and information obtained narrow the knowledge gap between worst-case scenarios and the adversary’s actual capabilities—even if relations further degrade, other channels of communication fail, and guardrails on weapon deployment are removed.

[Igor Moric @igor_moric]

NEW PUBLICATION, with @mattkorda from @scientistsorg.

Can we replace New START with an arms-control agreement relying on remote sensing, without any on-site inspections?

7/8
In the best case, the proposed interim agreement could lead to a more complete arms control treaty in the future, adapting to the new geostrategic environment, acknowledging force asymmetries and non-strategic nuclear weapons, when geopolitical conditions allow it.

[Marten Ennen @MartenEnnen]

Half a century after the ABM Treaty, how far have missile defense tech and policy come? A new piece by Timur Kadyshev, Moritz Kütt & @igor_moric in the @J_NuclearDisarm explores this, and calls on experts to communicate more clearly with the public https://t.co/f3PxA1JR1F
