Gravity bombs, or bombs that fall straight down to the ground, are immobile and must be dropped by a bomber aircraft. Some ballistic missiles may travel for about tens to hundreds of miles, while larger ICBMs (intercontinental ballistic missile) can travel up to thousands of miles in a sub-orbital spaceflight.

Which countries have nuclear power?
The countries known to have nuclear weapons are: United States Russia United Kingdom France China India Pakistan North Korea Israel Germany, Italy, Japan and South Africa have the capability of building nuclear weapons but have not done so. Canada once had nuclear weapons, but has dismantled its weapons and permanetly deacitvated its nuclear weapons program. So far it is the only country to do so.
What are the criteria for having nuclear weapons?
As far as I know nuclear weapons have never been traded between countries, so if a country has nuclear weapons it is due to their own science and technology, or to espionage activities to get the required knowledge. The other criterion is not to have signed up to the Non Proliferation Treaty, except for countries that had already developed weapons when the Treaty came into being.
How are nuclear weapons destroyed?
The only way that how are nuclear weapons are destroyed that these anti-nuclear working group stay together and work together to get these powerful nuclear weapons destroyed. It's possible to destroy nuclear weapons but it is a very hard and dangerous job. Want to know how nuclear weapons are destroyed? These people work as a team by staying together, they also disable nuclear missile launching systems to prevent the nuclear weapons from being launched. They work very carefully to make sure that the nuclear weapon cannot make wide explosions. They destroy the missile very carefully so that the missile cannot make very huge nuke explosion. They also stop nuclear bombs from being dropped by making sure that the bomb is destroyed but they have to place something to destroy the nuclear bomb and they must be very careful because nuclear missiles and nuclear bombs are very powerful. There should be a time bomb to destroy these weapons and don't let these weapons create big explosions. If there is then they place the time bomb on nuclear weapon, they also have to move very far away from the weapon to make sure that they are safe and can't get killed. To destroy nuclear weapons, these nukes have to be sent very far away from the city or from the town so people can't get killed by the nukes.
