North Korea, praised by Russian state media for its arsenal, is thought by experts to have up to 50 warheads.

however, Panda said:"It'd be more accurate to say largest display of intercontinental-range ballistic missiles ."

"The April 2022 parade featured fewer ICBMs, but more short-range ballistic missiles —and more types of SRBMs—and Ground Launched Cruise Missile, , and added submarine launched ballistic missiles . By my rough count, there were 77 'nuclear missiles' by this typology on February 9, 2023, and 109 in April 2022.

While the sheer display of weapons may be a cause for concern, Van Diepen said that some analysts had questioned whether any of the nuclear warheads, necessary to create explosive missile payloads, were small enough to fit on the missiles they had paraded. So, while it may be that North Korea showed off the largest number of one category of nuclear weapons, it does not appear that its 75th military anniversary parade was the biggest display of its overall nuclear arsenal.
