Russia > North Korea  Iran {? } >  Syria { no }


 ..."  The European Union and the United Kingdom have vastly tightened sanctions on Iran as punishment for the Middle Eastern country's support for Russia in the war with Ukraine. "...

.See map/chart for visual from top to bottom and the list of six countries hosting their nuke weapons.

.." At present there are 9 countries in the world that possess nuclear weapons. They are:
  • Russia
  • United States
  • China
  • France
  • United Kingdom
  • Pakistan
  • India
  • Israel
  • North Korea
These states have roughly 12,100 nuclear warheads, with over 9,500 in active military stockpiles, according to the Federation of Atomic Scientists' 2024 State of the Worlds Nuclear Forces. While this is a significant decline from the approximately 70,000 warheads owned by the nuclear-armed states during the Cold War, nuclear arsenals are expected to grow over the coming decade and today’s forces are vastly more capable.

Even less countries have ICBM (Inter Continental Balistic Missile)

ICBM is the main way to deliver nuclear weapons in case of long distances.

Currently, North Korea is making great progress in ICBM technology. One could say that in 10 years, North Korea will be ahead of everyone else if they keep up with this speed.

Where can I buy some of the missing Russian nuclear suitcase bombs?
Remember these from when we were young? >  ..." Spencer Gifts LLC, doing business as Spencer's, is a North American mall retailer with over 600 stores in the United States and Canada. Its stores specialize in novelty and gag gifts, and also sell clothing, brand merchandise, sex toys, room decor, collectible figures, fashion and body jewelry, and fantasy and horror items."...

And on the other hand we have;

..." Both the United States and the Soviet Union developed nuclear weapons small enough to be portable in specially-designed backpacks during the 1950s and 1960s.

....Neither the United States nor the Soviet Union have ever made public the existence or development of weapons small enough to fit into a normal-sized suitcase or briefcase. The W48 however LINK, does fit the criteria of small, easily disguised, and portable. Its explosive yield was extremely small for a nuclear weapon...

....Extremely small (as small as 5 inches (13 cm) diameter and 24.4 inches (62 cm) long) linear implosion type weapons, which might conceivably fit in a large briefcase or typical suitcase, have been tested, but the lightest of those weighed nearly 100 pounds (45 kg) and had a maximum yield of only 0.19 kiloton (the Swift nuclear device, tested in Operation Redwing's Yuma test on May 27, 1956).[9]

...The largest yield of a relatively compact linear implosion device was under 2 kilotons for the cancelled (or never deployed but apparently tested) US W82-1 artillery shell design, with yield under 2 kilotons for a 95 pounds (43 kg) artillery shell 6.1 inches (15 cm) in diameter and 34 inches (86 cm) long.[citation needed]"..
