What about the missiles of US, Russia or any other western country? I may be afraid of them too

They have you covered: https://missilethreat.csis.org/missile/

Curiously this page makes safari on ipad crash...

It's probably the 1.4 MB jpeg flag image for Pakistan. Those little ripples/folds in the flag...

EDIT: Yeah, all of those flags are ridiculously high-resolution. Pretty rough on the browser.

There's no excuse for chrome to be a stuttery mess on my 2016 laptop though. Panning around an already loaded static webpage is an incredibly easy task.

Is that... a 40 Megapixel flag image, scaled by the browser to 380px width??

ty!!

US is last on the list.

Because it's alphabetical.

Haha, nice. Thanks.

Somehow even an estimate of the number of missiles or nuclear warheads isn't shown there?

Luckily, another site has it:

It's not only about the missiles, but also about how you deliver them. I believe France also has the best air fleet in the world, so that helps.

sorry - what do you mean ?

It's not like security staff would cheat in their assessments, impairing their proficiency [0]

The summary is simple; they have missiles that can hit anywhere in the world at any time.

There you go!

Same as the other nations I mentioned.
