How big are North Korea's nuclear weapons?
The actual nuclear warheads are not that large, less than a cubic meter. However, what is usually shown both in public and propaganda are the warheads loaded on to long-range or intercontinental ballistic missiles, which are significantly larger than the warhead, but have no nuclear content other than that in the warhead.
Are there neclear torpedo's?
Nuclear torpedos? Absolutely, both US and Soviets armed their attack subs with them. There were also nuclear depth charges, nuclear land mines, nuclear demolition charges, jeep carried recoilless rifles with nuclear warheads, nuclear artillery shells (from 16 inch naval shells down to standard 4 inch howitzer size), and probably many other things we can't even find out about.
What nation wound up with most of its nuclear arms?
Russia emerged with the majority of the nuclear arms following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. At that time, around 30,000 nuclear warheads were dispersed among the former Soviet republics, but Russia retained approximately 85% of these weapons, significantly shaping its military strategy and international standing. The other former Soviet states, such as Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan, eventually relinquished their nuclear arsenals, leading to Russia being the primary nuclear power in the region.
How many nuclear bombs does Russia have versus the US?
Thw U.S. has roughly 9000 missiles, while Russia has roughly 1. However there is an undisclosed number of warheads. Asuming that multi warhead missiles are in the majority then there are at least 9 warheads for every missile. Making around 81000 bombs with a minimum 5 megaton capacity. In terms of missiles that would succesfully hit their targets there are enough nukes and a limited amount of air defense systems that mutual destruction would be assured even in a preemtive strike situation. Efforts to reduce nuclear capacity are thwarted by 3rd party countries with no "constraints" on launching a strike at other countries. In any event nuclear capacity will stagnate and remain until the time comes to use them.
What type of weapons did superpowers compete for during the Cold War?
They competed with one another in terms of nuclear warheads, and getting the first man on the moon. Both were actively spying on one another to obtain technological information that would enable them to get ahead of the other.

How many hydrogen bomb there in the world?
It is estimated that there are around 13,410 nuclear warheads worldwide, with the vast majority being in the arsenals of the United States and Russia. This includes both hydrogen bombs and other types of nuclear weapons.
The most recent nuclear weapon been made?
Hard to say. Many countries make nuclear weapons behind other countries backs. Some countries are not announcing when they complete testing or development for nuclear warheads, so the world may never know.
Are nuclear missiles explosive?
Although the missiles themselves are not intended to explode, malfunctions can cause the missiles to explode in flight. This was a repeated problem during early development of most missiles intended to carry nuclear warheads; some even exploded directly on the launchpad. One Titan II missile even exploded in its silo, throwing its warhead nearly a mile away (but without the warhead exploding).The nuclear warhead or warheads carried by the missile are clearly explosive, some with yields up to 20 megatons. But they are no longer attached to the missle when they explode. The missile carries the warhead or warheads into space, where they separate and the warhead or warheads reenter the atmosphere, then explode about a mile above a city or just below the ground surface near a missile silo or other fortified military facility.

Nuclear torpedos? Absolutely, both US and Soviets armed their attack subs with them.

Do warheads contain peanuts or any other kind of nut?
no they do not
How many nuclear warheads would it take to freeze the earth?
Why don't people understand that there is no nominal nuclear explosive? Yields vary from under 1KTon to 50MTon! Also the answer to your question depends on:burst height/depthburst spacingburst timingterrainweatherand hundreds of other parameters.No single numeric answer can be given.
Should US still make nuclear missiles?
Yes. The nuclear arsenal of the United States is made so that it must be refurbished every three months or the nuclear warheads will not work. This is done by design so that if a weapon ever comes up missing, after a short time it will become just a large semi-radioactive paperweight. Other than that, If we did not continue to make nuclear weapons, Other countries who do still have nuclear weapons would be able to attack us with no worries about being hit themselves. Our threat of nuking other countries is what keeps our country safe from nuclear attack.
Who has more nukes America or North Korea?
The America, more specifically the USA. North Korea has just recently begun developing nukes, and they are very primitive so far. the USA, on the other hand, has been developing and upgrading their nukes since World War II. Throughout the years, the USA has gained 5113 active and inactive nuclear warheads, which includes 1968 strategic warheads, approximately 500 operational tactical weapons, and approximately 2645 inactive warheads, compared to the very few that North Korea has currently.
What are the risks and dangers of nuclear weapons?
The risk of an accidental or inadvertent nuclear launch or accidental explosion is unacceptably high. On the other hand, The B61-11 is categorized as a deep earth penetrating bomb capable of "destroying the deepest and most hardened of underground bunkers, which the conventional warheads are not capable of doing wich is good keeping civlitians for getting hurt compared to the nuclear bombs used in ww2.
