Top 10 Nuclear Warheads by Country From 1945 To 2019 -
At the dawn of the nuclear age, the United States hoped to maintain a monopoly on its new weapon, but the secrets and the technology for making nuclear weapons soon spread. The United States conducted its first nuclear test explosion in July 1945 and dropped two atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. Just four years later, the Soviet Union conducted its first nuclear test explosion. The United Kingdom (1952), France (1960), and China (1964) followed. Seeking to prevent the nuclear weapon ranks from expanding further, the United States and other like-minded states negotiated the nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) in 1968 and the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) in 1996.

India, Israel, and Pakistan never signed the NPT and possess nuclear arsenals. Iraq initiated a secret nuclear program under Saddam Hussein before the 1991 Persian Gulf War. North Korea announced its withdrawal from the NPT in January 2003 and has tested nuclear devices since that time. Iran and Libya have pursued secret nuclear activities in violation of the treaty’s terms, and Syria is suspected of having done the same. Still, nuclear nonproliferation successes outnumber failures and dire forecasts decades ago that the world would be home to dozens of states armed with nuclear weapons have not come to pass.

Nuclear-armed countries are collectively in possession of 13,865 warheads, according to a report published by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.
There has been an overall decrease in the number of nuclear weapons in the world, which may be related to the fact that Russia and the US signed the New START Treaty in April 2010.
While the number of nuclear weapons in the world has dropped since last year, those that remain are highly sophisticated and therefore potentially more destructive.


In total, nuclear-armed countries are currently in possession of 13,865 warheads, according to a report published by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI).

Though that may seem a lot, it's still 600 fewer than at the beginning of 2018.

While the number of nuclear weapons in the world decreased in early 2019 compared to last year, those that remain are highly sophisticated and therefore potentially more destructive.

"A key finding is that despite an overall decrease in the number of nuclear warheads in 2018, all nuclear weapon-possessing states continue to modernize their nuclear arsenals," said former Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations and current Chair of the SIPRI Governing Board.

Together, the US and Russia collectively hold 90% of the world's nuclear weapons — the overall decrease in the number of nuclear weapons across the board would seem to be related, in particular, to the fact that the two powers signed the New START Treaty in April 2010, which aims to limit further resources in strategic offensive weapons.

In contrast with this, Russia and the US have simultaneously launched large and expensive programs to replace and modernize their warheads, missile launch systems, and nuclear weapons production facilities.

Of the 13,865 nuclear weapons estimated by Sipri in 2019 worldwide, 3,750 are deployed with task forces and nearly 2,000 of them are maintained on high operational alert, according to the Institute, which was founded in 1966.

While the number of atomic weapons has dropped sharply since the mid-1980s — it was almost 70,000 at the time, according to La Tribune — there's still a considerable number of weapons throughout the world, and they still pose a serious risk of nuclear war one day.
