The Soviets were armed with nuclear weapons, that made them a key player. They had the most and best that were comparable to ours; that made them the leader of the enemy coalition.
How did the Cold War affect nuclear weapons?
Since the two major fighting powers-US and Soviet Union-both had nuclear weapons, there was a constant threat of nuclear war. Nuclear war never happened in the cold war, but there were many close calls, most namely the Cuban missile crisis. The constant buildup of nuclear arms with both superpowers was the main focus of the cold war-the arms race. A heavy dependence on the Military-Industrial Complex and theories such as Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD) used by President Kennedy and Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI)/"Star Wars" used by President Reagan. Nuclear disarmament was also a main focus of the cold war.
What were the nuclear weapons the countries used in the Cold War?
No nuclear weapons were used in the Cold War. The reason it is called that is that the United States and the Soviet union never came into direct military conflict. The only time that atomic weapons have been used was during the Second World War. The USA has only used nuclear weapons in combat twice. A Nuclear weapon has not been used in action since 1945. Many countries tested nuclear weapons during the cold war such as USA, Russia, France and the United Kingdom. While none were used in combat a wide variety were tested and you could argue that these were effectively used in the Cold War due to the fact their testing was a deterrent. Examples of nuclear weapons designed for use in the cold war include the USA's Castle Bravo, Russia's Tsar Bomb, the M-388 Davy Crockett and a variety of ICBM's.

How does it make you feel to know that most of the nuclear weapons in the Soviet and US arsenals remain ready for use even in the post-Cold War era?
Actually this is false most of the Cold War era nuclear weapons have been destroyed.At the peak of the Cold War the U.S. had about 10,000 strategic and 20,000 tactical nuclear weapons and the USSR had about 10,000 strategic and 30,000 tactical nuclear weapons.Following the signing of START both sides agreed to destroy all tactical nuclear weapons and reduce strategic nuclear weapons slowly over a period of time.At this time both the U.S. and Russia have about 3,500 strategic nuclear weapons each and no tactical nuclear weapons (although some people say that Russia secretly maintains about 1,000 tactical nuclear weapons).So, from a peak of about 70,000 nuclear weapons during the Cold War to about 7,000 nuclear weapons now, only about 10% of the weapons then available still remain ready for use.
How many nuclear warheads did the Soviets build?
all together over the years, somewhere around 100,000. however most of these were recycled to make improved weapons. at the peak of the cold war the soviet stockpile contained over 30,000 nuclear weapons, about 10,000 of these were high yield strategic weapons.
Where did the nuclear confrontation happen during the cold war?
There were no direct nuclear confrontations during the Cold War.The Cuban Missile Crisis was a conventional confrontation caused by the threat of nuclear war, and the stand-off was over the shipping and delivery of nuclear weapons, but no nuclear weapons were ever pointed at either side (any more or less than they were during the entire Cold War).It happened because of nuclear weapons, but the stand-off was entirely conventional.Without the actual use-in-conflict of a nuclear weapon, all confrontations remain conventional, not nuclear.However, if you were asked this question by a teacher, give them the answer they were digging for by saying 'Cuba' and avoid the hassle, but the question is flawed. Asking where something happened when it never happened anywhere is bad educating.
Arms Race?
The buildup of arms was also a characteristic of the Cold War between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, though the development of nuclear weapons changed the stakes for the par.
What three types of weapons were used during the cold war?
Nuclear weapons, Biological Weapons, Chemical Weapons.
