Was nuclear bombs found in cuba during Vietnam?

At no time have nuclear weapons been in Cuba. In the 1963 Cuban missile crisis the USSR and Cuba had built IRBM launch facilities, IRBM storage facilities, and warhead storage facilities. Some IRBM's had been shipped to Cuba, but no warheads. The Soviet ships carrying warheads were stopped by the US Naval quarantine, then turned around.


How many nukes does Israel have?

== Israel has over 1000 nukes == Israel has not been confirmed to have any nuclear weapons at all. However, defense experts postulate Israel has 50-60 tactical warheads and bombs. Most of these were "home-grown" although there are rumors Israel has acquired some from external sources.

How did people feel about the discovery of nuclear weapons in Cuba?

Actually no nuclear weapons were discovered in Cuba by the US in 1962, only ongoing construction work on missile launch facilities and some strategic missiles (without warheads). The concern was to prevent the USSR from transporting the warheads and the rest of the missiles.The thing that was not discovered was that there were low yield tactical nuclear weapons already on Cuba that would have been used to repel any invasion. When the USSR agreed to remove the strategic missiles they also secretly removed these tactical nuclear weapons that the US had never been aware of.

How many nuclear bombs are in England?

The precise number is classified, & not publicly available... Probably there are 150-200 British built nuclear warheads for the American supplied Trident SLB Missile system. It's also possible that some smaller nuclear warheads have been developed for the Tomahawk cruise missiles also carried by Royal Navy nuclear submarines, but this is speculative! Officially, all the "free-fall" nuclear bombs once carried by the RAF's "Strike Command"/ "V Force" aircraft have been decommissioned, but many suspect that some (maybe a hundred or so) have been upgraded & retained for "contingencies". There are no longer any US controlled nuclear warheads based permanently in Britain, although nuclear armed American submarines operate routinely from UK naval bases under joint facility agreements between UK & US Governments. The British Army (as per current NATO doctrine/ international arms control agreements/ treaties) no longer maintains/ controls any tactical nuclear weapons systems. Bottom line, however, is that no-one apart from the Prime Minister, Intelligence & Defence Chiefs, & probably some very senior Civil Servants, knows the exact number of nuclear weapons currently retained by the UK: in order effectively to deter, it's best to keep potential enemies guessing...


How many nuclear missiles does the United States have?

At the peak the US had 1052 ICBMs (1000 Minuteman & 52 Titan) plus SLBMs, IRBMs, SRBMs, and Cruise Missiles in various lesser quantities. The Minutemans have always been the largest quantity of one type and now even some of them have been retired to meet START limits. Counting all types of missiles capable of carrying a nuclear warhead the US might still have somewhere under 2500, but the exact number is probably classified and most nuclear capable Cruise Missiles and SRBMs are normally armed with just conventional warheads (so they wouldn't count).
