Putin controls about 5,580 nuclear warheads, according to the Federation of American Scientists.
Of those about 1,200 are retired but largely intact and around 4,380 are stockpiled for use by long-range strategic launchers and shorter-range tactical nuclear forces, according to the FAS.
Of the stockpiled warheads, 1,710 strategic warheads are deployed: about 870 on land-based ballistic missiles, about 640 on submarine-launched ballistic missiles, and possibly 200 at heavy bomber bases, FAS said.
As of early 2023, the United States has 5,244 nuclear warheads, including 1,536 that are retired and awaiting dismantlement.
This includes 3,750 active and inactive warheads, and about 2,000 that are retired and awaiting dismantlement.
