How many operable nuclear weapons does N Korea have?

Question

How far can they fire a nuclear weapon?

Answer 1

None, now. they blew the one they had, and their missiles didn't hit their intended targets.

Answer 2

At most they have 7, probably only 2 or 3

they can't fire them right now though, don't worry

The nuclear bombs are very primitive, think of the A-bombs the Americans had in WW2, they were huge and had to be dropped from a bomber. Plus if they do have the bomb, it will be a long time before they can make it small enough to place on the tip of a missile

It is also most like a third as powerful as the bombs dropped on Japan

Answer 3

Let's broaden this focus, shall we?

Any nuclear weaponry is a bad thing. All nations should strive to prevent the proliferation of nuclear armaments to the nth degree of patience and resources. Nuclear weapons, no matter who has them are bad. Veteran, USN, Medically Discharged under Honorable circumstances. (Independant [Mostly Libertarian] Voter)

Answer 4

They have enough plutonium for seven devices.They do not, at this stage, have the techno to build a small enough carrier for the device to fit in a missile. But somewhere someone will see the opportunity and sell them the techno.

Answer 5

It's been estimated they have 10-12. Very scary.

BUT, they don't have any good long range rockets. They do have plenty of accurate short range rockets.

If the USA is gonna attack, we'd better do it soon.

Answer 6

They don't have a reliable payload delivery system and if they do have nukes, they have 1 or 2.

Answer 7

I remember when China first had the bomb, question was how were they going to deliver it? We were sold fear then also. Why are we now surprised that other country's are catching up?

Answer 8

They just blew it up
South Korea

Answer 9

more than a few,, all the way to the USA

Answer 10

We have 10,000! Perhaps we should fear ourselves...
