Original Note:
This claim is inaccurate. The United States has documented 32 “Broken Arrow” incidents (nuclear weapons accidents) since 1950, with only six nuclear weapons that were never recovered: https://www.iflscience.com/these-are-the-six-times-the-usa-lost-nuclear-weapons-77661 https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20220804-the-lost-nuclear-bombs-that-no-one-can-find Most of these lost weapons are believed to be incapable of causing a nuclear detonation: https://taskandpurpose.com/history/us-military-nuclear-weapons-missing/ https://thedebrief.org/six-times-the-u-s-military-completely-lost-nuclear-weapons/
