Everyday Spy
What Happens When the President Gives the Nuclear Launch Order?
"Russia's number 1, actually. They have about, I think they have 4,500. So 4,500. And then China's behind us with 900, 1,200."
Andrew Gregg, who commanded 30 nuclear warheads as a missile officer, reveals that Russia maintains approximately 4,500 nuclear warheads compared to the United States' 2,500, with China third at 900-1,200. He characterizes additional warheads beyond a certain threshold as excessive, saying any surplus is just extra icing with no practical strategic value.
