Russia has more nuclear warheads than the United States primarily due to its historical accumulation of nuclear weapons during the Cold War, when both nations engaged in an arms race. Additionally, Russia's military doctrine emphasizes the role of nuclear weapons as a deterrent against perceived threats. The differences in nuclear arsenals are also influenced by various treaties and agreements that have shaped disarmament efforts, but Russia maintains a larger stockpile, partly due to its strategic military policies and the legacy of its extensive Soviet-era program.

If they fought a limited war it could go either way, depending on the circumstances, but I have trouble envisioning a limited war with nukes. Once the first nuke is detonated, it will probably lead to more nukes, with no limits, and no winners.

Who would win in a war between Russia and the US?

To the moron who wrote "USA has most advanced army and a jet that can go 12,000 miles and hour" your just a typical hypocrite and are a waste to forums like this so shut your facist trap. First of all America and Russia both have advanced weapons and fighter jets. Russia holds the worlds most nukes and Russia has the worlds largest landmass. USA has more people than Russia and has a more advanced military than Russia . USA has a higher population that Russia. At the moment it would be a tie since USA could never take over Russias landmass and Russia could never reach all their army to USA. It would end up in nukes.
