China , Pakistan , India , Israel , North Korea , and North Korea have increased their nuclear stockpiles by 700 over the past 40 years .

The Federation of American Scientists released the estimated global nuclear warhead inventories for 2024 , showing there are 12,121 nuclear warheads scattered across nine nations.

Russia outnumbers the US by several hundred warheads, with the two nations controlling roughly 88 percent of this stockpile.

The think tank said that the US was still the most transparent nation when it comes to the size of their nuclear arsenal, with Israel the most secretive.

If we use 1,000 nuclear warheads against an enemy and no one retaliates, we will see 50 times more Americans die than did on 9/11 due to the after-effects of our own weapons' Less than 40 years ago , researchers noted that there were approximately 70,300 nuclear warheads worldwide.
