Best estimates place the number of nuclear weapons Pakistan currently possesses somewhere between 50-60. Most of these are not attached to delivery systems (missiles, air-dropped munitions), but could be done in relatively short order. These weapons fall within the 4-12 kiloton range, the explosive equivalent of 4,000-12,000 tons of TNT. For comparison: The weapon dropped on Hiroshima: ~15 kilotons The most powerful US device ever detonated: ~15 megatons (15,000 kilotons) The most powerful device ever detonated (USSR 'Tsar Bomba'): ~50 megatons (50,000 kilotons)
