| Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) （New START） number of nuclear warheads subjected to the treaty （As of February 5, 2018） |
1,4611,444 | ※The treaty requires the United States and Russia to limit the number of deployed strategic nuclear warheads to no more than 1,550. Both states met the limit by February 2018 deadline. However, New START counts warheads differently; only one warhead is counted per every bomber. Since this table includes 150 warheads for non-strategic nuclear weapons in the 1,750 total no. of operational warheads for the U.S., a simple comparison cannot be made. |
