Portal SofRep conducted a comparative analysis of the nuclear weapons and concluded, that Russian nuclear weapons several times more powerful than the US.
Author, referring to the professionals, It is taken as a "starting point" of the atomic bomb "Little Boy" and "Fat Man", who in August 1945 the US Air Force dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Their power was respectively 15 and 21 kilotonnu.
American rocket "Trident" surpasses them in power 4 more than doubled (100 kilotonn). A capacity of "Minuteman" rocket is 475 kilotonn.
According to the portal, Chinese "Dongfeng-31" more than 2 times higher than the US competitor (about 1000 kilotonn). However, it's not critical, because the US can counter it with a thermonuclear bomb B-53 (9 thousand. kilotonn).
However, this "superbomb" can not be compared with the latest Russian designs. So, rocket "Sarmat" has a capacity of about 50 thousand. kilotonn, and the latest torpedo from the submarine "Status-6" - 100 thousand. kilotonn.
These results are disappointing for Americans, as they talk about the superiority of Russian nuclear weapons at least 5,5 and 11,1 fold, respectively.
Recall, In March, Vladimir Putin, in his message to the Federal Assembly informed about the latest types of Russian strategic weapons. Including, He spoke about the development of weapons, not using a ballistic flight path and therefore invulnerable to missile defense systems. During his speech, the president was shown footage of tests missile system with a planning unit and winged missiles "Sarmat" complex with the nuclear power plant.
