India deployed 12 nuclear warheads in 2025, marking a historic shift in its nuclear readiness. China also increased its deployed warheads from 24 to 34 in 2025, highlighting rising global reliance on nuclear weapons. India’s deployed warheads are ready on operational delivery systems, including the Arihant-class submarines, Mirage 2000 and SEPECAT Jaguar fighters, and land-based nuclear-capable missiles like Agni, Prithvi, Nirbhay, and BrahMos. SIPRI reports around 4,012 nuclear warheads are currently deployed worldwide, reflecting growing strategic reliance on nuclear deterrence. India’s first-time deployment comes after the brief India-Pakistan conflict in May 2025, underlining its focus on operational readiness and strategic deterrence.
