Nine countries – China, North Korea, France, India, Israel, Pakistan, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States – possess 12,100 nuclear warheads, of which 9,400 are in active military stockpiles. Russia and the United States possess nearly 90% of the world’s nuclear weapons, with over 5,500 weapons each. Many of the modern nuclear weapons in Russian and U.S. nuclear weapons are thermonuclear weapons and have explosive yields of the equivalent at least 100 kilotons of dynamite – and some are much higher. One 100-kiloton nuclear weapon dropped on New York City could lead to roughly 583,160 fatalities, according to NukeMap, https://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/.
