> I highly disagree about Russia being a modern nuclear power

Look, I'm as pissed at Russia as anyone but it doesn't change the facts. They are indisputably a modern nuclear power, and they have ramped up their spending in recent years. It's practically the only thing in their defense they haven't starved of funds.

> They have some nuclear capability

They don't have "some" nuclear capability. They are equal first or near enough.

> China and Israel are really the only countries that have the modern infrastructure

Israel!?? Now I'm really questioning your source of information. Whoever told you tiny Israel was anything other than dead last was leading you quite astray, I'm afraid. In fact some would say that Israel's nuclear capability is behind some other countries who don't even possess the weapons.
