Even though the number of nuclear weapons in the world has declined significantly
Since the Cold War down from a peak of about seventy thousand three hundred in
1986 to an estimated fourteen thousand nine hundred ninety five and that was as of this year
2017 but despite the drastic cut today's forces are a lot more
Powerful than they were back then
What's going on? Everybody my name is Lera Kenton, and this is another episode of?
FTD facts now there are total of nine nations with nuclear weapons, so let's take a look at them, okay
So the first one is the United States of America the United States developed the first nuclear weapons during World War two in
Cooperation with the United Kingdom as well as Canada as part of the Manhattan Project
Out of fear that Nazi Germany would develop them first
The US remains the only country to have used nuclear weapons in war and that was when they destroy the Japanese cities
Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Today the US has between six thousand eight hundred and seven thousand nuclear weapons
next country is Russia so the former Soviet Union was the second nation to have developed and tested a
nuclear weapon
Now what?
Sparked the Soviet to develop these weapons was to achieve a balance of power during the Cold War after the Soviet Union was dissolved in
1991 Soviet weapons entered officially into the possession of the Russian Federation
their nuclear weapons arsenal is sent to number about
7,000 weapons total sub around the same as the United States
The third nation is the United Kingdom and they were the third
Country in the world after the US and the Soviet Union to develop and test nuclear weapons its program was
motivated to have an independent
Deterrent against the Soviet Union while also maintaining its status as a great power
currently they have a total of
215 nuclear weapons moving on now to France so France tested its first nuclear weapon in
1960 based mostly on its own research it was motivated to become a nuclear power in order to retain great power status
Alongside the net kingdom during the post-colonial Cold War the current number of nuclear weapons that they have is
300 France has been one of the top most countries who have urged to
Everyone else the importance of nuclear deterrence in a highly dangerous world the fifth nation in this video is China
so China tested its first nuclear weapon device in
1964 at the Lochner test site the weapon was developed as a deterrent against both the United States and the Soviet Union
Two years later China had a fission bomb capable of being put onto a nuclear missile
the current number of weapons that they have is
270 nuclear weapons nature number six is India and they first tested their nuclear explosive device in
1974 and it was that test that sparked Pakistan to really ramp up work on its
secret nuclear weapons program India and Pakistan both publicly demonstrated their nuclear weapons
capability with a round of tit-for-tat
nuclear tests around may of
1998 and in their possession India currently has 130 nuclear weapons nation number seven in this video of course
Pakistan and
Pakistan's nuclear weapon dates back to the 1970s and of course. It was sparked by India's nuclear weapons test in 1974
Pakistan is believed to have about 130 to
140 nuclear warheads Pakistan is currently expanding its nuclear arsenal faster than any other country and
Developing a new delivery system for its warheads and now the second last country and this video is
Israel but Israel has not publicly conducted a nuclear test
And it does not admit or deny having any nuclear weapons
And they state that it will not be the first to introduce nuclear weapons in the Middle East nevertheless
Israel is universally believed to possess nuclear arms although. It's unclear exactly how many
estimates suggest they have around 80 nuclear weapons
And there's strong evidence that they actually do it's like one of those secrets that you try to keep in
And then everybody's like, but we know you have it, or you know you did it
So what are you trying to I'd it but another nation that was kind of like that is the last nation on this video?
North Korea on September 3rd 2017 North Korea detonated a device, which caused a magnitude 6.1 tremor
