But the fancy new war machines, including nuclear-powered low-flying cruise missiles and long-range undersea drones, do practically nothing to change the Cold War-legacy logic of Mutually Assured Destruction, arms control experts told VICE News — largely because unstoppable nuclear weapons solve a problem Russia didn't actually have.
