The following video and text don't supply an answer to that question.
The author of the text (which is in German) is purportedly a former member of the Islamic State who wants to warn the West that ISIS possesses four nuclear devices, and plans to use them against the United States, Russia, France, and Germany. What he says may well be a hoax, or more specifically, deliberately planted disinformation to achieve particular political ends. I can think of several Great Powers who would find it useful to disseminate the fiction that ISIS is ready to use nuclear weapons.
However, it could also be true. If it is, you may be sure that the intelligence services of Russia and the major Western powers are well aware of it. As the ISIS defector points out, the West has moles inside the highest levels of the Caliphate.
Before making this video, Vlad and I discussed the pros and cons of whether we should publish this material. After all, it serves the propaganda interests of the Islamic State to have this sort of thing disseminated. On the other hand, if it turns out to be true, and a mushroom cloud were to light up Berlin or Paris next week, we would have been remiss not to have put the information out.
So here it is, but with a huge CAVEAT: We have no idea whether the information given in this video and text is authentic. Listen to it or read it, and make your own best judgment.
The video and pdf were originally published by Netzplanet, which is also unable to confirm the authenticity of the story.
The text read out in the video and the text of the pdf are the same. Many thanks to Nash Montana for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes for the subtitling:

I bet.
But I still want one.
TALK ABOUT CRIME DETERRENCE!
See, the thing I’m trying to make my legislator understand, is that when I say “Second Amendment”, I’m talking about manuevering countermeasure MIRV multimegaton yield weapons.
I mean, suppose there are a LOT of deer? Suppose they are in NBC-hardened vehicles?
FYI
Because if they do get one they will have to us it or lose it ..... they shoot themselves in the back so often they can’t trust a mirror. Old rule.... the only way for two people to keep a secret is if one of them is dead.... Sort of like the telecom long ago.....:o)
Stay Safe !
Interesting perspective. I cannot find fault with it.
Hey, should America survive until then, what say you make the Oct 6, 2016 Texas Memorial Cowboy Shoot?
Yer overdue for a big ole’ bearhug, ya mook. :)
It depends on the method of delivery. Quick like a bunny may not succeed like slow and sure. I’m not sure we’d catch slow and sure.
Multi-megatonnage is a thing of the past on our side ..... last biggie was the B53. Now our big dog is the B83. Surgical precision makes smaller yields a good thang.
Of course, if I *do* hug ya, I’ll have to wear a dosimeter. :)
Wouldn’t surprise me in the least.
It seems like Russia is pretty serious about both Syria and Turkey...
I’ll be retired in 17 ..... will make SURE I do a drive by then....
SHALL NOT INFRINGE! The Second Amendment says SHALL NOT INFRINGE!
Don't you try to limit my yield. :)
Your the one with the case of old coleman lantern mantles .....not me.
See ya there. :)
No, it would be 81.8181818181...
Hopefully people who come upon this thread will see our relative level of levity and realize that this article is mostly Fear Porn. :)
That’s impressive.
Yes .... agree !
There will be no .....”its gonna happen on a tuesday” ...... heads up.
