How to unlock the Disarmament achievement in METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN - Definitive Guide

I can definitely verify that stealing a nuke from a rival's FOB and disposing of it counts towards the achievement now. Check my list if you want proof.
It's very simple to actually dispose of a nuclear weapon, but takes a while to get one!
You can build a nuke yourself, but there's a VERY high chance it will be stolen!! That happened to the first one I built, it was stolen almost right after I built it, so I couldn't dispose of it.
Either build the nuke and take note of exactly when it will be done and dispose of it right away, or play offline avoiding FOB missions as detailed below.
OR--try stealing someone else's nuke! However, I've tried multiple times, and the only people who have nukes are the ones with ridiculous FOB defenses--save yourself some time and resources and build one yourself.
The requirements to build the Nuke are 75000 Fuel, 50000 Minor Metal, and 750000 GMP, of ONLINE resources. Your Offline resources are generally 10% of your online resources, so you'll need over 80000 Fuel total, etc.
To access the Nuke build option, you need to open up the Mother Base menu, select Resources, then the far right option gives you the choice to build Nukes and Dispose of Nukes.
Nukes take 21 online hours to build.
There is a trick you can use to avoid having your nuke stolen however, if you haven't passed mission 21, or haven't gone online.
If you never accept the FOB mission that occurs after mission 21, by disconnecting your internet whenever it comes up(very annoying, but it works) the FOB trial mission is cancelled and you CANNOT be invaded by other players and have your stuff stolen!! You'll have to disconnect to avoid the FOB mission every time you go to your chopper's command center, the ACC, or else play offline(disconnected). To build the nuke though, you need to be online and you can go online through the menu's, and as long as you go offline/disconnect before returning to your ACC you won't have to do the stupid internet disconnect thing to avoid the stupid FOB mission.
I finally went online near the end of the campaign.. built a nuke, and had it promptly stolen by someone near the top of the ranking leaderboards. Don't suffer what happened to me!
I personally recommend going online simply because you can gain more GMP and resources early in the game from your FOB and it's quite a bit of fun, but be warned--if you're online with FOB's and you build a nuke, it WILL get stolen quickly unless you dispose of it!
Your post here gave me my answer and a route to getting that dismantling achievement. Thanks a bunch. Hey take this as a compliment but this is the first time I've ever replied to a post on TA.

If you are NOT connected to the internet, skip to the bottom.
- As soon as you get the DETERRENCE trophy, if you go to dispose of your nuke, you may get an error message. This is because it hasn't been transferred to your FOB.
- Press your PS button on controller.
- Settings -> Network Settings
- Uncheck connect to Internet option
- Back on the game you should get a message about being disconnected from the network.
- Open iDroid, Resources -> far right tab, Dispose.
In order to develop a nuke, you will first need to have completed mission 31, "Sahelanthropus," and have built at least one Forward Operating Base. FOB construction will take place after mission 22, "Retake the Platform." You will also need an online connection for this achievement.
Once these prerequisites are met, head into the Mother Base tab on the iDroid and then into the “Resources” menu. From here, scroll over to the last sub-menu and you can develop a nuke for 750,000 GMP, 75,000 Online Processed Fuel, and 50,000 Online Processed Minor Metal, with a loss of 50,000 Heroism. Be aware that it will take about exactly 30 real-time hours for the nuke’s development. In addition, that time is for real-time, in-game hours, meaning when the game is off, progress will not be made. The time will only track when you are in-game either playing missions or just hanging out in the ACC. It's important to know that these resources must be materials that you gathered while playing Online FOB missions. Single-Player resources will not count towards nuke development. This means you'll need to engage in FOB missions frequently and sneakily extract your opponent's materials.
Once the nuke has been built, the "Deterrence" achievement will unlock. When you're ready to snag "Disarmament," simply head back into the Resources tab a second time and you can immediately dismantle the nuke for just 100,000 GMP. Unlike the former, this achievement does not require an online connection.
In order not to look for opponents with weapons, we go to the tab in which everyone who has a weapon will be shown. This tab appears after a certain stage of the game. But, it’s 2019 and (at least for me) there were a maximum of 2 people in this tab. Very often no one at all. And even more often - it seems like people are in the tab, but they don’t have a weapon icon, which is strange. But if you notice such a person, it’s not a fact that you will connect to him, since they are worth their weight in gold and there they can already rob them And don’t make weapons yourself, they can be stolen instantly.
Yes, the bomb will be located at the location where you land on the main base in all cutscenes. I was too lazy to shoot everyone, I just ran to the bomb, hid behind it and took off. It can be sorted out in the resources tab in a fraction of a second.
But even if the platform is already pumped in to the maximum, don’t delay it. Destroy immediately.
