"Despite progress in reducing nuclear weapon arsenals since the Cold War, the
world’s combined inventory of nuclear warheads remains at a very high level:
nine countries possessed roughly 12,500 warheads as of early-2023.
Combined, the United States and Russia now possess approximately 89 percent of
the world’s total inventory of nuclear weapons, and 86 percent of the
stockpiled warheads available for use by the military. Currently, no other
nuclear-armed state sees a need for more than a few hundred nuclear weapons for
national security, although many of these states are increasing their nuclear
stockpiles.
Globally, the overall inventory of nuclear weapons is declining, but the pace
of reductions is slowing compared with the past 30 years. Moreover, these
reductions are happening only because the United States and Russia are still
dismantling previously retired warheads."
