No, the first notice we had was their successful 1949 test. We were just beginning to setup surveillance systems at that time, in expectation that they would eventually develop nuclear weapons, but did not expect to see positive results on what was an early practice sampling flight.
What else can I help you with?
What country used nuclear weapons first?
The U.S. is first to have nuclear weapons, having nukes since 1945. The Soviet Union followed the U.S. by developing and testing their first nuke in 1949. Both nation started making hydrogen bombs (nukes using nuclear fission to explode) starting in the mid-1950s. Excuse me replying with a question, but were the Atomic bombs dropped on Japan in 1945 Nuclear weapons ? I am assuming they were, but do not know of the differentiation.
Was the cold war handled properly?
Difficult to know. We're still here, the Soviet Union collapsed under its own weight, and there was no nuclear World War III. So obviously, we didn't mess it up TOO badly. Certainly, we could have done far worse than we did, and we can all point to a myriad of mistakes along the way. But there was no nuclear war, and that counts for a LOT.

Why did NASA send out Laika on a spacecraft that wouldn't come back to earth?
NASA did not send out Laika, a Soviet space dog, on a spacecraft that wouldn't return to Earth. The mission was carried out by the Soviet space program in 1957, not NASA. Unfortunately, Laika was never intended to return as the technology to safely bring spacecraft back from orbit was not developed at that time.
Can US use nuclear weapons?
If Russia, Afghanistan or any country tries to attack us we can use a nuclear weapon and send them back home. The countries with nuclear weapons won't attack us with those weapons because they know that if they attack with them, we will attack them back ans nobody wants to be attacked.

What happened to the USSR because of the development of the nuclear bomb?
The Soviet weapons program proper began in 1943 during World War II, under the leadership of physicist Igor Vasilievich Kurchatov. The program was initiated by reports collected by Soviet intelligence about the rapidly growing Manhattan Project in the U.S. It went up to a narrow scape to the closest the world has come to nuclear war wich was the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962. The Soviets had installed nuclear missiles in Cuba, just 90 miles off the coast of the United States. U.S. armed forces were at their highest state of readiness. Soviet field commanders in Cuba were authorized to use tactical nuclear weapons if invaded by the U.S. The fate of millions literally hinged upon the ability of two men, President John F. Kennedy and Premier Nikita Khrushchev, to reach a compromise. I remember President Kennedy once stated... that the United States had the nuclear missile capacity to wipe out the Soviet Union two times over, while the Soviet Union had enough atomic weapons to wipe out the Unites States only once... When journalists asked me to comment... I said jokingly, "Yes, I know what Kennedy claims, and he's quite right. But I'm not complaining... We're satisfied to be able to finish off the United States first time round. Once is quite enough. What good does it do to annihilate a country twice? We're not a bloodthirsty people."
