Nuclear Weapons

Yes, US has B61 Nuclear bombs in Incirlik Airbase. They were located there during the cold war and most probably they are still there... Some of them are for the comman usage of Turkey and US.

united states

Not necessarly, Canada politely asked the British if we could be our own country and they said yes, and a good thing too as the British helped us kick US' butt in the war of 1812, so it is also true that it was kept with weapons,

The French tested their nuclear weapons in the Sahara desert (before Algeria's independence) and on the Pacific atoll of Mururoa.

The force of the explosion pushes the air out from around it, creating a pocket of low air pressure. As the smoke and debris cloud begins rising, fresh air flows in from outside the area of explosion, forcing the cloud higher and forming the shape of a mushroom.

This can happen with any sufficiently powerful explosion, but it's most well known and most well associated with nuclear explosions.

Around 400 nuclear warheads. China has the third largest nuclear arsenal in the world.

To date US-1054

russia(ussr)-715

uk- 45

france-210

china-45

india between 5 and 6

pakistan between 3 and 6

north korea maybe 1

others maybe, none confirmed.

After a nuclear bomb explodes, the area is left with devastation including destruction of buildings, radioactive fallout, fires, and severe injuries and fatalities. The long-term effects can include radiation poisoning, cancer, and environmental contamination.

When a nuclear weapon is used, it releases an enormous amount of energy in the form of a blast wave, intense heat, and radiation. This can cause widespread destruction, including buildings being leveled, fires spreading rapidly, and severe injuries or death to individuals within the blast radius. The long-term effects can include radiation sickness, long-lasting environmental damage, and the potential for nuclear fallout.

Conventional means accepted standards.

Conventional weapons are normal weapons that most nations possess; warships, airplanes, artillery, tanks, Machineguns, etc.

Un-Conventional Weapons are weapons that most nations do NOT possess. Nuclear Weapons would be un-conventional weapons. An un-heard of primitive weapon might be considered an un-conventional weapon.

The term can also be applied to warfare itself: Un-Conventional Warfare might be guerrilla warfare; Conventional warfare would be traditional Armies fighting against another Army.

Many countries have nuclear weapons today including the United States. China, North Korea, South Korea, and Japan also have nuclear weapons.

It's not all that bad. However, if there would be global nuclear conflict most likely that there won't be any survivors at all.

Yes, they do. So do the Russian Federation (formerly the U.S.S.R.) and a number of other countries, including France, the U.K., China, India, Pakistan, and Israel.

The US government supplied the yellow painted metal sirens built at street corners, and emplaced anti-aircraft missile batteries into underground silos around the neighborhoods (no one knew they were there, until construction crews un-covered them when the cold war ended in 1990); school children were mandated to conduct "Duck and Cover" drills in the classroom..."at the sight of a blinding light cover your heads, ball up into the fetal position and hide under your desk." "When walking home from school, if you see a ball of fire/blinding light seek cover immediately." Home owners under there own decisions and money built BOMB SHELTERS in their back yards.

Between 150-250, but no more than 300.

The issue was "how does a military force make a move...without triggering a nuclear war...?" Hence, a cold war. A military stand-off.

The nation with nothing to lose. Where M.A.D. ( mutually assured destruction) dose not apply.

Korea was the FIRST "Limited War" (Vietnam was the SECOND) fought during the Cold War. Nuclear Weapons created the Cold War. A "Limited War" was fought with "limitations" on where the war would be fought and using only conventional weapons. Without Nuclear Weapons, the US/Allies would have probably invaded Red China, when Communist China entered the war. Which of course would have caused the Soviet Union to enter the war. Which naturally would have led to WW3. The Soviets tested their first Atomic Weapon in 1949.

Obviously two have been used in anger, but hundreds have been carried out by the Americans, Russians and the French.

Nukes have also been detonated by the UK, Pakistan, India, Israel and more recently North Korea. Together the number of nukes detonated runs into the hundreds.

The Atomic Age & Atomic Energy.

Assuming you mean nuclear weapons, at the peak both the US & USSR had well over 10000 warheads each with yields averaging in the low megaton range. After START this was cut to a bit over 1/3 that number with yields averaging just below 500 KTons. Russia has more total warheads than the US and usually higher yield, because they claim their missiles are less accurate than US missiles (probably true).

If you were referring to weapons in general, there are many billions. Maybe even more than the human population of earth.

Which gets us first will always be a big debate.

The United Kingdom has around 160 active nuclear warheads. Their arsenal is Trident-missile based, but using a british warhead design.

Secrets are part of any war, cold or hot (non-shooting or shooting); it called classified. A-Bombs made the cold war.

Not even close. The largest thermonuclear bomb ever detonated was around 57 megatons. Setting off a million of those would release about as much energy as a magnitude 9.5 earthquake. Big earthquake? Yes. Destroy the earth? No way. Now, there are probably enough to kill off all higher forms of life on the surface of the Earth either from direct damage or radiation sickness. But the Earth itself would scarcely be affected.

The GBU-43 (Massive Ordnance Air Blast, usually called a MOAB. Mother Of All Bombs) which is a 21,000 pound bomb with a blast yield of 11 tons. The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory has stated that a larger version of the MOAB exists, weighing thirteen tons.
