00:00The complete detail of all nuclear bombs in the shadow of the Cold War.
00:05A new era of weapons emerged silent, invisible, yet capable of unimaginable destruction.
00:12These are the nuclear weapons, the most powerful tools ever conceived by humanity.
00:17As of September 2025, the global nuclear arsenal is estimated at approximately 12,241 warheads.
00:23This marks a significant reduction from the Cold War peak of over 70,000, but remains a formidable force.
00:30The United States, once the leader in nuclear armament, now maintains an estimated 5,177 nuclear warheads.
00:39Its arsenal includes strategic warheads.
00:42Approximately 3,508 deployed on intercontinental ballistic missiles, ICB.
00:49Submarine-launched ballistic missiles, SLB, MIS, and strategic bombers.
00:55Tactical warheads.
00:57Around 200 designed for battlefield use.
01:01The U.S. arsenal is undergoing modernization.
01:04With plans to extend the service life of existing warheads and develop new systems to ensure a credible deterrent.
01:10Russia, the other nuclear superpower, possesses about 5,459 nuclear warheads.
01:16Its arsenal includes strategic warheads.
01:19Approximately 3,508 deployed on ICB, MIS, SLB, MIS, and bombers.
01:28Tactical warheads.
01:31Estimated 1,200 not covered by current arms control treaties.
01:36Russia continues to modernize its nuclear forces.
01:39With new systems like the Sarmat ICBM entering service,
01:42China has been rapidly expanding its nuclear capabilities.
01:45Estimates suggest it has over 600 nuclear warheads.
01:50With projections indicating this number could reach 1,000 by 2030.
01:55China's arsenal is primarily land-based, with a growing number of ICB, MIS, and SLB, MIS.
02:01While continuing to develop sea-based missile platforms and advanced delivery systems.
02:06France maintains approximately 290 nuclear warheads.
02:12Its arsenal consists of submarine-launched ballistic missiles and air-delivered strategic bombs.
02:17The United Kingdom has around 225 nuclear warheads.
02:22Primarily deployed on its vanguard-class submarines, forming a continuous ATSIA deterrent.
02:27Both nations have modernized their arsenals in recent decades.
02:31Maintaining a posture of credible deterrence while adhering to international treaties.
02:37India is estimated to have 160 nuclear warheads.
02:41With a diverse array of delivery systems including land-based ballistic missiles,
02:46sea-based platforms, and strategic aircraft.
02:49Pakistan maintains approximately 170 nuclear warheads.
02:54And continues to expand its missile program.
02:56Emphasizing short and medium-range ballistic missiles capable of regional deterrence.
03:01Israel is estimated to possess about 90 nuclear warheads.
03:08Maintaining a deliberate policy of ambiguity without openly confirming its arsenal.
03:13North Korea has developed approximately 50 nuclear warheads.
03:18With ongoing testing and the development of ICBMs capable of reaching distant targets.
03:23These nuclear weapons are deployed through multiple delivery systems.
03:27Intercontinental ballistic missiles, ICBMs, are land-based missiles with ranges exceeding 5,500 kilometers.
03:35Capable of striking targets across continents.
03:39Submarine-launched ballistic missiles, SLBMs, provide a second-strike capability.
03:43Ensuring deterrence even if land-based forces are compromised.
03:48Strategic bombers are aircraft capable of carrying nuclear bombs or cruise missiles.
03:53Allowing flexible deployment.
03:54Cruise missiles, both air-launched and ground-launched, offer precision targeting with nuclear payloads.
04:00The destructive potential of these weapons is staggering.
04:02One modern thermonuclear warhead can release energy equivalent to tens of millions of tons of TNT.
04:10Entire cities could be obliterated in seconds.
04:12And the detonation of multiple warheads in a strategic exchange would have global consequences.
04:18Including nuclear winter, radiation fallout, and catastrophic loss of life.
04:24Despite the reduction in total warheads since the Cold War.
04:28Modernization programs are underway in nearly every nuclear-armed state.
04:33New warheads are more reliable, more precise, and often capable of evading missile defenses.
04:40Hypersonic glide vehicles, multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles, MIRV, and submarine upgrades are all transforming the global nuclear balance.
04:51While the majority of these weapons are concentrated in the United States and Russia, regional powers maintain nuclear forces for deterrence and strategic influence.
05:00Emerging programs in China, India, Pakistan, and North Korea demonstrate that nuclear proliferation remains a critical concern for global security.
05:11International treaties, arms reduction agreements, and verification regimes continue to play a role in limiting the expansion of nuclear arsenals.
05:19But the underlying strategic imperatives ensure that these weapons will remain central to defense planning for decades to come.
05:25The global nuclear arsenal, though smaller than its Cold War peak, remains a constant reminder of humanity's capacity for both ingenuity and destruction.
05:33Each warhead represents not only a technological achievement, but a moral responsibility.
05:39The continued existence of these weapons challenges humanity to balance deterrence with diplomacy.
05:43Caution with strategy, and survival with ethical consideration.
05:47In imagining a world where every nation's nuclear capabilities are understood, calculated, and respected,
05:55we see the delicate equilibrium that has prevented global nuclear war for more than 70 years.
06:01Yet the shadow of devastation remains a silent testament to the power that rests in human hands.
06:07Hope to find is collected on the authority EDU bisher, and theWhoC0201A Fordy.
06:08However, we Eduardo Cox Be primo, when they're clarity of the nature of paradise and the world is a constant-like cluster.
06:12And now we are now talking about dialogue,
