Countries like the U.S, Russia; China; Iran; France are what comes to our minds. The technological advancement of these countries are overwhelming, even in the development of military softwares, military hardware.

But do you really know the country that will survive if peradventure world war III broke out?.

Lets take a look at the military strength and fact of these two rivaling countries. U.S and Russia.

The United States (US):

The first country to develop and use nuclear warhead in the world. Everything started from the Manhattan project, a research that had one particular goal in focus. "to develop and produce the first nuclear weapon". Americans were the first to wield such powerful weapon. Everything started in 1941, which is the date of the begining of Manhattan project. Since the end of the second world war, United States become the leading country when it comes to possessing nuclear warheads and it lasted approximately to 1980s.

We should also bear in mind that United States are also the only nation that ever used nuclear weapons in military conflict.

Russia:

The second most important state when it comes to researching, development; and then storing of nuclear weapon. Although the Russians managed to catch up with Americans later on, it was only in 1949 that the first nuclear test was conducted by the then Soviet Union occurred. It was still quite a surprise for the western powers, who believe that Russia won't be capable of producing nuclear warheads until 1953-1954.

After the first test, the nation in question started to rapidly increase the amount of warheads they possessed.

However, it was the Soviet Union that managed to create the biggest bomb in the world. Known as Tsar Bomba, it had blast yield of 50 megatons of TNT.
