The US Department of Defense currently owns 3,708 nuclear warheads. Such information is contained in a report by American nuclear scientists. It should be noted that these charges can carry both ICBMs and strategic bombers.
Most of the arsenal is simply stored in anticipation of potential carrier loading. About 1770 warheads deployed. Of these, about 1370 are for intercontinental missiles.
According to experts, there are about a hundred tactical bombs with nuclear warheads in Europe. Everything else is preserved in case of a technical surprise.
Previously, scientists calculated that 15.5 thousand atomic bombs would be needed to completely destroy the planet. And 4.4 thousand is enough for the planet to start a nuclear winter.
