It is estimated that there are just under 6 thousand nuclear warheads in the Russian arsenal at the beginning of February 2022. Of these, about 4,477 units can be used, of which 1,588 are those already deployed and operational, considering both strategic and non-strategic weapons. Of the operational warheads, 812 are those arranged in ground ballistic missile systems, 576 are those intended for the use of ballistic systems mounted on nuclear submarines and a further 200 those operable by bombers equipped for the use of atomic weapons.

The remaining 1,500 warheads are those that have been withdrawn and are being dismantled. However, as they have not yet been completely decommissioned, these publications are still potentially re-insertable and, therefore, to be considered in the calculation. This is what emerges from the study dedicated to the Russian atomic arsenal, edited by Alessandro Ricci, published on Iriad Review. The total of strategic nuclear weapons owned by Russia, between deployed and non-deployed, amounts to approximately 2,565 units. Most of these, about 1,185, are intended for use with intercontinental missiles. 800 are those intended for nuclear submarines and 580 for bombers. Alongside the strategic warheads, the Russian Federation allocates the remaining 1,912 nuclear warheads in its arsenal to a variety of non-strategic weapons, so-called dual use systems, or conventional systems also capable of being equipped with nuclear warheads. These are mostly airspace defense systems, but also bombers and cruise missiles also used by ground forces, air defense systems and the Navy, including naval aviation and the Coast Guard.
