The line between conventional and nuclear weapons in Europe is becoming increasingly blurred as new technologies such as cyber weapons and precision-guided missiles are making it possible to achieve strategic-level effects without employing nuclear weapons. In this International Institute of Security Studies (IISS) webinar, generously funded by the European Union as a part of the EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Consortium project, two panels of experts will help us understand how the spread of these technologies is affecting stability on the European continent. Session 1 will focus on the weapons themselves, what capabilities they have, and the emerging doctrine surrounding their use. Session 2 will explore the impact and implications of their use, including in Ukraine, and offer concrete advice for decision-makers seeking to manage the risks associated with these weapons.
