      Nuclear states at a glance

      A glance at the world’s nuclear weapons states and their stockpiles, based on estimates compiled from different sources.

      North Korea
      Believed to have enough fissile material for a half-dozen weapons, but estimates vary widely and are unverifiable.
      United States
      More than 5,000 strategic warheads, more than 1,000 operational tactical weapons - meant for the battlefield and less powerful than the strategic arms - and approximately 3,000 reserve and tactical warheads.
      Russia
      Nearly 5,000 strategic warheads, and approximately 3,500 operational tactical warheads. In addition, it has more than 11,000 strategic and tactical warheads in storage.
      France
      Approximately 350 strategic warheads.
      China
      As many as 250 strategic warheads and 150 tactical warheads.
      Britain
      About 200 strategic warheads.
      India
      Between 45 and 95 nuclear warheads.
      Israel
      Refuses to confirm it is a nuclear weapons state but is generally assumed to have up to 200 nuclear warheads.
