    Time to conduct megaton weapon test

    Of course they do. But that is included in the 1500-1800 warheads as per the New START treaty. I was talking about the ones in cold storage, which is what people are referring to when mentioning the 7000 warheads number.

    Time to conduct megaton weapon test
