How many nuclear bombs are there left?

You can not be really very sure how many are left, because when there is war, they will just make more atom bombs if they need some more.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Completely wrong. If the U.S. and Russia fought a nuclear war, the war would be over in a couple of hours at most and it takes months to manufacture a nuclear weapon. Also the war damage to the nuclear weapons production system would take years to repair before any manufacturing could begin again. There would be no chance to make any more.If the nuclear war was fought by other countries, perhaps they could make more but all the other countries nuclear weapons put together are less than 1/4 of those that either the U.S. or Russia have.


What is the START II treaty?

How many atomic explosions have there been?

The US has performed almost 10,000 nuclear tests, one can assume that the USSR has also performed a similar number. No other countries have performed more than a couple hundred nuclear tests. Not all of these tests produced a nuclear explosion (e.g. some failed, some were "safety tests" designed to prove that safety systems would prevent an unwanted explosion, some were subcritical tests), but even then we are talking about many thousands of nuclear explosions. Much of this information is still classified and thus not publicly available. Then there were the three bombs exploded during World War 2: the Trinity Test in New Mexico and the two bombs dropped in combat over Japan (Hiroshima & Nagasaki).
