According to the open data, Russia has 6,257 nuclear warheads, which are enough to completely destroy life on Earth several times.

The West has almost 4,000 missiles available (225 in the UK and 3,700 in the US).

Other countries have been piling up nuclear warheads, all weapons of human-self destruction.

In the event of an escalation of world tension, Germany, Great Britain and the United States may be the first to attack Russia, thereby unleashing a third world war.

Although Germany does not own a nuclear arsenal, US Air Force aircraft capable of carrying tactical and strategic nuclear charges can be deployed on its territory.
