This Horrifying Graphic Shows Every Nuke That's Ready To Fly In The World



This incredible graphic posted at visual.ly by Canada's National Post documents all the nuclear weapons that are ready to fly on short notice. The U.S. leads the charge with 1,379 launchers. Russia reaches a close second with 1,286. The author points out it's very difficult to discern what nuclear weapons exist because every country has a different method of cataloging them. But even what's here is pretty powerful.
This is an incredibly powerful graphic. Nuclear warheads by country:

United States      2,468
Russia               2,430
France                 300
United Kingdom    275
Israel                   270
China                   178
Pakistan                 90
India                      60
