Comparatively not that powerful. The largest Pakistan has that we suspect could be most likely no higher then a 500 kiloton nuclear warhead while the United States and Russia for example operate or have operated 30, 40, even 50 megaton nuclear devices. A 500 kiloton nuke is about 1% the power of a 50 megaton nuke. However, they operate about 70-90 nuclear warheads, making not only the weapon, but the number of them a significant nuclear deterrent for the country.

The 'uranium bomb' is an A-bomb and is a first generation nuclear weapon. The hydrogen bomb or H-bomb is a 2nd generation nuclear weapon and generally many times more powerful. 'H-bomb' can also refer to 3rd generation nuclear weapons that have an additional mass off uranium to provide further fuel, triggered by the 2nd generation fusion reaction; these are the most powerful. But recent studies show that the H-Bomb has more mass, therefore more energy, and therefore has more energy. So the H-bomb is more powerful.
