Russian nuclear weapons are several times more powerful than Chinese and American ones. This was discovered on the portal of former CIA and US Special Operations Forces SofRep.
The experts found out the nuclear power of each of the atomic bombs and compared them with each other. The power of the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki is 15 and 21 kilotons, respectively. The American Trident rocket outperforms them by almost four times - 100 kilotons. The power of the best North Korean bomb, the newspaper notes, does not exceed 250 kilotons, and the American Minuteman III - 475 kilotons.
China's DF-31 missile is rated at 1,000 kilotons, while Washington has the B-53 thermonuclear bomb, which is nine times more powerful than China's. However, according to the newspaper, the power of Russian nuclear bombs significantly exceeds their competitors. So, "Sarmat" has a capacity of 50 megatons, and the super torpedo from the submarine "Status-6" - 100 megatons. Thus, the best Russian bomb is more than 10 times superior to American designs.
