As cool as this is it actually wouldn’t destroy the ISS station there isn’t any air for a shockwave to travel through so the station would just watch the explosion but cool scene
Lmao yeah, also even if there would be the same air pressure as on Earth it is still too far (I'm not even talking it would never take this short for the one to at least make it there)... Would be much more epic if it all would start heating up from the flash to eventually melt instead!
The movie "Life" is worse, in the ending, the hero floats off into space inside an escape pod with no engine, and no hope of being able to turn around.
exactly it was always thought that russia was the strongest military in the world yesh bs they cant even capture a weak military compared country they are lost without nukes
I was always confused with the physics of this scene, yes there are shockwaves in space but not as intense as on earth because there is nothing to carry the shockwave in space so it would not be so intense but hey it’s a video game
@@thisisaker2114 well it was nuclear. as far as i know u can create EMP by Detonating Nuke in space (the more the distance = less intense the EMP but Cover larger Area).
Price does not nuke America. He knows that the explosive force of a nuclear weapon in the upper hemisphere of the globe will have a EMP effect on all electrical equipment over America. The reason behind it was to stall the Russian invasion of America and give the Americans enough time to regroup and draw up new defensive lines. He didn’t nuke America at all, otherwise the whole mission where your roaming the streets and houses of DC in the dark with no electronic equipment would simply not have happened, because the soldiers and the players character would have been dead.
My friend was in the battle of Mogadishu. He told me all sorts of stories about the war. He said you can’t imagine how loud a warzone is. He got shot multiple times. Has AK entry/exit wounds on his legs and shoulder.
The junior enlisted are freaking out and trying to figure out what's happened while the NCO is focused solely on getting his boys out of immediate danger. They fucking nailed the squad dynamic.
The power of nuke is so over exaggerated here. Not only the blast is incapable of knocking out the whole east coast, the shockwave have no way of getting to vacum space
@@ninejives7799 Exactly! Like the ending of terminator 3 where the missiles fly quietly and turning into flashes with a peaceful background music. That ending was so dramatic i remembered for the rest of my life
I just want to remmeber to you guys that the nuke detonated in Space as you can see because this is the only way to create an EMP, it didn't explode on earth
What I absolutely love about this is the total silence after the EMP detonated. That initial symphony of chaos and confusion accentuated by the panic which leads to that eerie stillness. While the Rangers are freaked out and regrouping you know damn well the Russians are too. They're just as stymied.
@limpyu_600 two reasons, they are at least the width of the United States away from the explosion as shown in the video. And secondly, more importantly, there are no shockwaves in a vacuum, only thermal radiation, shockwaves require gaseous molecules to propagate. Cool scene nonetheless.
John Berroa I’m glad I’m not the only one concerned with that threat. For years we’ve continuously ignored the power grid. There are rumors this will be done purpose and it seems like an obvious move from the satanic new world order leaders.
I purposely believe it’s been brought up and purposely ignored so many times because they want it to go south for just a time like this. Otherwise why not improve it and open up the American industry to work opportunity.

@@secretname2093in the Modern Warfare days yeah, only time some have spoken was Soap when he says “Get off me!” When trying to get the knife out of him in the original MW2. And Price in Modern Warfare 3
Coming back to this moment, that nuke detonation truly is a gargantuanly blown out of proportion like my god...even if it detonated in the air, no way in hell would it get as far as where the space station is. The shockwave would likely still throw debris at it but not just basically atomize it like that...even then it would take quite the amount of time till such a wave got there...and that's assuming the other layers of the atmosphere don't fk with everything.
A high altitude nuclear explosion like that one wouldn't physically touch the ISS (unless it occurred at point blank range). Infact considering it occured over Washington DC in the US which at that point in time the ISS appeared to be over central Asia (in reality they'd not even have been able to see the missile pre-detonation at those ranges, its just too small), even the EMP wouldn't have reached it (even a western seaboard detonation wouldn't have reached it, the EMP's range would be measured in dozens of km, maybe a few hundred max, not over 5000km, yes that is the distance the ISS would have been from DC using the on screen visuals). Now as for the effects on the ground, they are also overplayed somewhat. An EMP like that wouldn't nessersarily cause those helicopters to crash, it would knock out radio and lights (torches would likely still work, no circuitry to fry). Modern military helicopters with full electronic controls are somewhat hardened against EMP (their controls are atleast, they might maintain some control), and those helicopters honestly aren't that modern, they have mostly analogue controls, they don't actually need power to operate (they would lose alot of the flight assistance stuff) so losing the electronics won't bring them down. Jets would be a different issue altogether, civilian ones could fly but landing them might be challenging (their controls are designed with redundancy incase of electrical failure), military jets especially modern ones if their shielding was insufficient are coming down regardless, otherwise they just need to land somewere as while not crashing they are likely no longer combat capable. Honestly the biggest issue planes and helicopters would have is its night and they likely just lost their navigation systems and any night vision equipment and the ground went dark, so unless they have analogue instruments (many civilian aircraft actually do), they now find themselves without a place to land safely. Oh and a side note, the soliders on the ground could stop the launch easily with their rifles. ICBM's tend not to react too well to been shot, they are not actually bulletproof (their skins tend to be thin aluminium/steel sheets 1-5mm thick, to keep the weight down) and even minor damage would likely render them incapable or reaching altitude due to increased drag and overheating, nevermind component damage.
@@cgi2002 I mostly agree that the Nuke wouldnt have much of an effect on the ISS, but also it's clearly over Mexico, not Asia. You can see Baha California on the left side of the continent, and Florida and the Gulf of Mexico on the right.
@@proot. your right, not Asia but South America. Would however say it appears to be way to far south to be over Mexico, seems closer to been over Panama or even further south perhaps towards the tip of the continent. Honestly the detonation would be using those visuals (its not well scaled), closer to Europe than the ISS.

Real life: Strongest nuke yields 50 Megatons of tnt, capable of leveling Manhattan Cod: *nukes have the strenght of a black hole and Goku’s Kamehame Ha*
Don' forget the nuke was over the Eastern seaboard of the US, the ISS was at that time somewere over Asia, that's a good 5000km away. Even the EMP blast wouldn't travel that far (from that nukes yeild, a few hundred km at most, likely less than 100 in reality). As for the shockwave, frankly the astronauts might not have even seen the blast, for a shockwave to reach them the nuke would have needed to be strapped to the ISS itself (no atmosphere means no physical shockwave, a thermal/radiation wave however, yes).
I assumed it was over Mexico but. Yeah I did the calculations. I'm estimating it's around 1650 miles or so away from the point of of detonation and they are likely in the thermosphere therefore around 250 miles added. And using the pythagorean theorem the shockwave would have to travel 1668.83 miles. Also they the thermosphere has around 1e-8 of the tropospheres atoms making it so a shockwave would dissipate nearly instantly. However electromagnetic waves may be able to reach this distance. But even then the electromagnetic waves could not rip apart the station as shown. Also the light from the bomb would only last around 100 to 200 milliseconds. And the astronaut would be blind from looking at it.@@cgi2002
i live like 15 mins from NORAD Cheyenne mountain in colorado springs.. before 9/11 it was open to the public for a tour but ever since 9/11 they stop doing it
This rare time when not making things realistic makes them way less epic: no way a shockwave would reach a space station retaining such a power, let alone doing so this fast. Should, however, they make it realistic, that is the guy trying to hide away behind something to still get lit up by the flash, with the oxygen tanks across the station blowing up and stuff and the last thing he sees are the flames inside his helmet... now that would kick some massive tail!
@@cazador2711 Lol smarty :) In fact there are some tiny gas concentrations in space (especially on low orbits), also never forget you get some gases emitted by the explosion itself, though not much difference for something exploding that far (and some light-induced pressure too), so technically you can have a "shockwave" in space (well, if a slight pop you could hear if listening carefully would count).
@@Ake-TL They all do. In a nuke's case, both the leftover of the reacting material and the evaporated shell become "the gas", and that is (especially considering the energy stored in those as heat, and a high density of the charge) a pretty large amount, especially for propagating a mechanical wave in vacuum.
Man, that's a really big nuke to disintegrate the ISS when it blew up over DC and the ISS was in orbit over Mexico... What'd they pack into that thing? Condensed essence of Chicxulub impact event? Man, there sure are a lot of helicopters flying directly over the firefight to readily almost crash on top of you.
ISS is at 400 km, even 30Mt thermonuclear strike directly bellow it would not do affect it at all. They lookalike they are somewhere over the Pacific or Mexico at best. Explosion happens over DC making it about 5000-8000 miles away. Flash would probably be visible but that's about it.
King Syrup He would have probably fallen back down to earth and burnt up since the ISS is in low orbit moving at 17,500 mph. The shockwave probably killed the momentum that allowed for the centripetal force that kept the ISS in orbit resulting in it plummeting to Earth
Astronaut always seemed little far for the shockwave to hit him, considering the missile is over DC and he’s over Mexico. And also, you know, in space, where shockwaves can’t exist.
Also the fact that it hits him like a wrecking ball and then somehow the area underneath the nuke isn't absolutely obliterated by such a powerful device going off😂
I don’t think Russia is capable of launching an invasion of the American East Coast from the Atlantic, especially an air based one. Ukraine is just the newest example of Russian ineptitude.
Really had me thinking Price was a traitor/double agent when he let the nuke go, whole time thinking how and why would he do that? I didn't even think of the EMP lol was so relieved once it all clicked..
“Ahoy me mateys, it be me, Captain Price, and I’m here to tell ya that you can prevent like 99% of all wars by nuking the capital of America.” “I learned about ye knowledge while stuck in a Russian gulag for 698 days while only being able to watch Virtual RUclipsr content and now I’m as sane as any ol’ scurvy dog on this task force” “Yarr harr harr, it’s my mental illness, so I get to choose the coping mechanism.”
EMP goes off and the player didn’t even think of looking up once to see the falling helicopters. Also I remember if you stayed outside in that sequence eventually there’d be a helicopter that follows you around to always fall on you forcing you to go inside and continue the mission
I never understand why they didn’t include a mass amount of civs, this is a large city and almost no civilians? The place would be going absolutely crazy !!!
That nuke would have to be on a world-ending level of power to destroy the ISS via blast force rather than EMP... amongts other issues. But damn, is this a nostalgic scene or what.
I felt bad for the astronaut then and now I feel bad for him in 4K
@Bob - Dorime Master a shockwave isn't even supposed to be in space
@Gaz not only that. It trashed the whole station from more than a thousand kilometers away. Even if the nuke exploded directly below the iss it wouldnt do shit

i live like 15 mins from NORAD Cheyenne mountain in colorado springs.. before 9/11 it was open to the public for a tour but ever since 9/11 they stop doing it
OdinAllFather because it’s been in use ever since
OdinAllFather that’s interesting 🤔
Thought about this as soon as Putin said he’d crash the space station into earth
He's gonna nuke ukraine
@@Komyeta no, he want Ukraine to be part of russia so he wont nuke it... that would be stupid
At least everyone isn't afraid of Russias military anymore
@@alphaomega2937 but the nukes we are afraid of…
@@comrademoshi1028 true that's a good reason the government's should destroy them but that will never happen
This rare time when not making things realistic makes them way less epic: no way a shockwave would reach a space station retaining such a power, let alone doing so this fast. Should, however, they make it realistic, that is the guy trying to hide away behind something to still get lit up by the flash, with the oxygen tanks across the station blowing up and stuff and the last thing he sees are the flames inside his helmet... now that would kick some massive tail!
Space has no air, its litteraly impossible for any shockwave to reach it
@@cazador2711 Lol smarty :) In fact there are some tiny gas concentrations in space (especially on low orbits), also never forget you get some gases emitted by the explosion itself, though not much difference for something exploding that far (and some light-induced pressure too), so technically you can have a "shockwave" in space (well, if a slight pop you could hear if listening carefully would count).
@@TheBypasser nuke doesn’t produce gas though, at least compared to conventional explosives
@@Ake-TL They all do. In a nuke's case, both the leftover of the reacting material and the evaporated shell become "the gas", and that is (especially considering the energy stored in those as heat, and a high density of the charge) a pretty large amount, especially for propagating a mechanical wave in vacuum.
Space nerds, the illusion of "space" is complete Sci-Fi and lies.
Man, that's a really big nuke to disintegrate the ISS when it blew up over DC and the ISS was in orbit over Mexico... What'd they pack into that thing? Condensed essence of Chicxulub impact event?
Man, there sure are a lot of helicopters flying directly over the firefight to readily almost crash on top of you.
The biggest nuke ever detonated wouldn't even come close to that.
ISS is at 400 km, even 30Mt thermonuclear strike directly bellow it would not do affect it at all. They lookalike they are somewhere over the Pacific or Mexico at best. Explosion happens over DC making it about 5000-8000 miles away. Flash would probably be visible but that's about it.
3:56 something nobody wants to see when their in space
They’re* learn your own language 😂
@@yasinparti4385 🤓
That astronaut though he's stuck in space
Im pretty sure he got killed by parts of the space station and if not he probably had a slow death from slowly losing air
King Syrup He would have probably fallen back down to earth and burnt up since the ISS is in low orbit moving at 17,500 mph. The shockwave probably killed the momentum that allowed for the centripetal force that kept the ISS in orbit resulting in it plummeting to Earth
jcarroll276 that’s not how orbital mechanics work. Also there wouldn’t have even been a shock wave.
He eventuality stopped thinking
@@comradekenobi6908 lol it's Jojo reference
this moment when you realize that music and atmosphere was better and deeper in 2009 version
Everyone gangsta until you realize Price also wiped out the evacuation choppers carrying the civilians the Army Rangers died defending.
Shockwave in a vaccum?
ISS doesnt move?
Nuke sound reaches instantly?
Yeah seems pretty realistic
Price did what he had to...
He saved 'Merica that day.
"We still have a war to fight" its the arbiter🥰
"Were it so easy?"
Damn the visuals in this scene were beautiful.
Ramirez!!! Stop that nuke with your laser designator!!!
Astronaut always seemed little far for the shockwave to hit him, considering the missile is over DC and he’s over Mexico. And also, you know, in space, where shockwaves can’t exist.
Also the fact that it hits him like a wrecking ball and then somehow the area underneath the nuke isn't absolutely obliterated by such a powerful device going off😂
4:09
*fnaf 2 hallway ambience sound*
No, really, I can kinda hear it
The only way I would have changed this scene is for ISS Control to say "Houston, this is ISS Control. Goodbye."
they had like 8 or 9 helicopters flying ready to crash over that one street, impressive
Imagine how close we are to that happening IRL right not.
Bro quit it we ain’t gonna go to nuclear war. Everything is gonna be alright.
not that actually, we were a lot closer back in the 60 s
We're about this close.

I don’t think Russia is capable of launching an invasion of the American East Coast from the Atlantic, especially an air based one. Ukraine is just the newest example of Russian ineptitude.
@@BarnyWaterg8 This is not aging well. Stop saying something won't happen because you don't want it to.
2:30 "Low Ammo", but continues to do the full auto salsa. 'Murica. Also... 4:00 -- shockwave in space? I don't think so.
Shockwave in the sky, like 10 helicopters crashing in a single street...
That was definetly something... ._.
2:55 Joseph Allen said oh shit LISTEN
ramirez not allen, allen died at the end of no russian
The soldiers not knowing the EMP is because of an incoming nuke is eerie as hl
I was also too young to understand that I was 9 when this dropped lol
I am like you too when im 8 I didn't understand all or many mw2 scenes and voices meaning, now damn I understand..
That scene where the shockeave hits the ISS can only be explained as a bad dream by one of the astronauts.
Really had me thinking Price was a traitor/double agent when he let the nuke go, whole time thinking how and why would he do that? I didn't even think of the EMP lol was so relieved once it all clicked..
Well he is a pommie you know pommie love to destroy human lives and countries as they do
At 1:44 Makarov probably thinking ' That wasn't me that time! That was the 'Good Guy' Captain Price.
"Standby we might have a problem here"
Cod just aint the same anymore man, i miss crazy shit like this
Ever wonder how to get rid of a fire? You set off a bigger one next to it. Chokes the oxygen snuffs the flame.
It just dawned on me Price destroyed the ISS and killed every astronaut on it.. kind of glossed over that little detail..
Someone mod Sgt.Foley into Admiral Anderson please XD
Ghost: damnit Price! I told u to use your 25 kill streak on Russia not america
“Ahoy me mateys, it be me, Captain Price, and I’m here to tell ya that you can prevent like 99% of all wars by nuking the capital of America.”
“I learned about ye knowledge while stuck in a Russian gulag for 698 days while only being able to watch Virtual RUclipsr content and now I’m as sane as any ol’ scurvy dog on this task force”
“Yarr harr harr, it’s my mental illness, so I get to choose the coping mechanism.”
The voice acting in this game is amazing. The sheer PANIC in Ghost's voice realizing the nuke is active is chilling.
Our weapons still work so we can still kick some ass hooah
The moment sheperd gained full control
"You can't just fire a nuke at America!"
Captain price : HAHA nuke go brrrrrrrr
"Observe."
That was a doom eternal reference
"Actually, I can."
I was so confused as someone seeing this for the first time as to why this is the same guy who plays the president in Rick and morty
I love the mood in this mission
Same, it's scary and realistic somehow.
*No one*...
*Absolutely no one*...
*SGT.Foley* RAMIREZ!!
Big boom = Big party
the shockwave going into space is the most unrealistic part here
cpl dunn is funny as shit during the emp lol
EMP goes off and the player didn’t even think of looking up once to see the falling helicopters.
Also I remember if you stayed outside in that sequence eventually there’d be a helicopter that follows you around to always fall on you forcing you to go inside and continue the mission
lol why is North America the only continent lit up? Nearly the entire eastern hemisphere is right there...
Primary ghost:🗣️
Ghost now:🔇
MISSILE IN THE AIR!!🗣🚀
I never understand why they didn’t include a mass amount of civs, this is a large city and almost no civilians? The place would be going absolutely crazy !!!
Probobly bc ppl would cry and whinge like how they did with the no russian mission
Price killed those astronauts.
that shock wave reached him way to fast i think
That nuke would have to be on a world-ending level of power to destroy the ISS via blast force rather than EMP... amongts other issues.
But damn, is this a nostalgic scene or what.
How the fuck would it blow the ISS out of the sky yet there's intact windows in Washington?
0:08 bro accidentally emoted
Legend says that the astronauts body still floats until today
Like that David Bowie song.
I felt that intensity while ghost screams at price.
