The arms race with the U.S. significantly strained the USSR's economy and resources, as it necessitated heavy investment in military technology and nuclear arsenals. This competition diverted funds from vital domestic programs, contributing to economic stagnation and public discontent. Additionally, the constant pressure to match U.S. advancements heightened tensions and paranoia, impacting diplomatic relations and fostering an atmosphere of distrust both domestically and internationally. Ultimately, the unsustainable nature of this arms race played a role in the USSR's eventual collapse.

The hydrogen bomb was the main factor. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wrong! The nuclear arms race began in 1939 when nuclear fission was discovered. The race was between Germany, England, and the USSR (using information from spies in the English program). By the time the US entered the nuclear arms race England merged their project with the US Manhattan Project, Germany had withdrawn (nobody else knew this) limiting their project to prototype nuclear reactors only with the goal of nuclear power plants after Germany won the war. So long before the first use of nuclear weapons, ending WW2 the nuclear arms race between the US and USSR was already well in place.
