To quote the movie of the same name: „I don't know what's scarier, losing nuclear weapons, or that it happens so often there's actually a term for it.”
One of the most surprising things of the 20th century is that we (apparently) somehow survived the collapse of a nuclear superpower (USSR) with nuclear weapons not only not being used, but apparently not even lost.
Is there any confirmation on the former USSR not losing any at all? I'd assume there's at least a couple, and a few more from years prior that didn't get reported.
I know there were hundreds of nuclear batteries abandoned which became orphan sources.
