2,350 or 3,500 - How Many Nukes Warheads Does China Have?

Check the nuclear warhead that US decommissioned recently, it is freaking 60 years old.

BBC News - Last Cold War-era B53 nuclear bomb dismantled in Texas

Assume the rest of their stockpile is 30-40 years old, which is not in good state anymore.

Not likely all of these 10,000 nukes gonna be functional. Otherwise, they won't start to talk about the stockpile reduction.

Meanwhile you need enough quantity of ICBM to deliver all of those 10,000 nuke onto China's soil, meanwhile both US and Russia has 350 ICBMs only and they talk to reduce it to 150 by 2015-2020.

China has more money, so we can afford more in maintenance than both USA and Russia.

You still taking of news ??...and links ??
Where's the one which states that China has over 3000 nukes ??

US still has more money than China... besides both US and Russia have other delivery platforms like Cruise missiles, Bombers, Fighter planes, Space based delivery systems... to name a few... besides US and Russia could also show superior bombing techniques by unleashing their nuclear powered bombers which can rain tons of nukes on each Chinese village and city from space.

It looks like many Indian members have those wet fantasy of seeing China getting destroyed.

But in reality is that China can bomb India into the stone age without bearing a grave consequence.

Why any one would have any dream of China getting destroyed when the overseas Chinese are themselves fingering and wetting their bed sheets with the thought of China getting self destructed... :lol:

post something better. Read all posts. All Chinese talking of destroying U.S., even India and Russia, with Nuke. One Chinese guy Hongwu keep talking of using Nuke against India in almost every post. As far as Pakistan, You people always talk of Nuke. We rarely talk of nuke attack, Even we have "No First Use" and we only consider as 2nd Strike (Massive Retaliation), That's it. Only Chinese and Pakistani can think of using nuke and killing millions of innocent people which i observed in last few months on PDF. :angry:

Actually the number of ICBMS the US would have after 7 years as of 2010 is 1,550. Notice that's 6 years from now.

Our current ICBM count is roughly 5000, with the amount active being a secret of course.

Your 10000 number is rather arbitrary, 1000 is plenty to remove any thought of a prosperous China, and China is roughly the same size as the US, so its not like China's population has more 'room' to hide.

Further talks are very unlikely without a requisite Chinese part if they are building up their warhead count as is stated. Even adhering to the current treaty is in question should China's numbers rising as stated here.

The primary strike force for the US nuclear arsenal is the Trident II D5 missile, and there are only 336 remaining so far by 2010.

Trident D-5

Keep in mind not of these gonna be deployed, some are used for the testing of the reliability.

China has like total 100 SLBMs in reality that includes both JL-2 and JL-2A.

But we still have much more land based ICBMs that is hidden within the 5000km underground great wall.

What about Minuteman-III and Peacekeepers ??
They don't count as ICBMs ??
How many ICBM China has ??

China has more than 3500 nukes according to US experts. crisisboom.com/2011/08/22/china%E2%80%99s-underground-great-wall/

At least 2000 are reserved for a first strike to neuter India. We are only interested in defense against USA and have friendly relations with Russia. They are not stupid enough to sacrifice all their major cities fighting China. Indians are much more irrational and dangerous, like North Korea is irrational and dangerous to Japan even though much poorer.

Most of China's nuclear weapons are on short / medium range missiles that are ideal for targeting India. Only ICBM / SLBM can reach USA. We have about 200 ICBM and about 100 SLBM.

China has massive underground complexes in every major city. Most people will take shelter and survive the initial blast. There is enough food stored to live for 6 months to 1 year. Then we reemerge and continue the fight.

The US has no underground bunkers for its civilian population. So they are most exposed to the blast radiation and shock wave.

Lets say that China has 6 warheads per ICBM, so 300 X 6 = 1800 warheads are on ICBMs, which is 50% of China's total nuclear arsenal.

Overall, there are about another 1800 warheads are reserved for the surrounding nations.

:lol: pathetic... go and drink some toxic milk and sleep.
 
200 nukes couldn't do a jacksh!t.

Again, this article was written by a Westerner, not by a Chinese fanboy.
The source was probably along the lines of FAS.org, Washington Post, or some other similar right-wing neocon think tank rag and/or opportunistic politician capitalizing on the China Threat bandwagon.
