      @@shag139 In the water the yes, you are very correct, however I was speaking about the air over water which would needed to be breathed. And if you lived at sea you cannot drink seawater, you would have to be exposed to the air that has already been sent by the winds from the clouds that would rain radiated rain. That is why even the top nuclear physicists say that if a nuclear war across the world ever happened, you better pray that you die in the blast. There will be no food left to eat, it will all be irradiated. The more food you eat the more you kill yourself even fishes from the sea. Unless for some small percentage you managed to throw a LEAD tarp over everything. Including yourself and food/water supply for months. However that's impossible because people need to eat more than once a week and must drink water/liquids compriser of water at least two times a day. That said there are only a few houses left with a nuclear bunker lead lined bunkers underground in the United States. I'm not sure if there's any left in Britain. And lead is the same material that can kill human, but also the only one known that can stop Radiation, The BIGGEST threat of Nuclear Fallout. Harness the Power of the Sun, get burnt basically. Sometimes Knowledge and Technology is not such a great thing. Going back to the biting of the fruit in modern Western theology. The fruit was not the sin, it was the attainment of taking from the Tree of forbidden knowledge...
      Mankind always wants to seek more knowledge. Inevitably mankind will seek the knowledge to destroy itself again. The best move is not to play. But we are a temperamental mammalian species. Whom seems to not learn from the Warnings given, or are We? Lets hope the Latter.

      Very few of the warheads would be programmed to detonate at ground (or sea) level. Mostly they would be detonated at a pretty high altitude like the Japanese warheads were detonated at 10,000 ft to maximize the area of the spherical explosion impacting the ground or sea.

    My partner and I were driving down a road in Inverness, IL, at around 3am on Christmas morning when we heard an odd sound near us... Looking up from the car there was a huge triangular shadow with a few lights on it (red, green, and white), and it was following us as we drove. My partner was yelling, "it's a UFO!" - but I worked at an Air Force station before, and a Naval Air Base; I knew exactly what it was - a B2 Bomber! I figured they were probably landing at of O'Hare Airport (since we were close to it), and were just getting in some training following a car at night...

They didn't really have complete knowledge of the fallout & affects on the human body when all of the countries were developing the technology. I saw on the news thr other day that there was a nuclear reactor melting down in Canada in the 1950s & the US government sent in our sailors because we had nuclear subs & our engineers knew what to do & Canadians didn't know what to do. President Jimmy Carter was in charge of a large group who were only able to stay inside for 90 seconds as the maximum (back then) "safe" time. Jimmy Carter was one of the sailors who went in to disassemble the reactor.

    @matthewrowley9679 Год назад +2

    To answer your questions. When a country fires nuclear weapons in a war scenario, it's done in waves. The 1st wave targets military assets like silos and military bases. 2nd wave targets civilian and military infrastructure. Then, the final wave targets civilian cities. After all the missiles have reached their target, now you have to watch for radiation and fallout. Which can be just as damaging as the missile itself. The UK would be absolutely destroyed in the 1st wave, and fallout would go all over the UK, including where you guys live. Radiation sickness can unfortunately be a long, painful death depending upon the amount you have. You can survive in a Bunker depending upon its rating and preparedness. Hopefully, this helped answer some questions.

    The innocence of youth on Millie's face and in James' voice are very apparent. The likelihood of any of this happening is still low but for the first time in generations (Cuban missile crisis 1962) nations are taking it seriously. I could pretty much guarantee you that in Russia, China, or North Korea (all are both authoritarian and autocratic) some general or other defense official would assassinate, or otherwise remove that leader from power rather than letting them destroy the world. I also believe that even if an American president threatened to be the first to launch weapons that he could be prevented from doing so. Because once the first country starts launching those weapons a chain reaction will occur to kill or be killed. I hope young people like James and Millie get to live and full and secure life and never have to feel that these madmen, so beyond their control, could rob them of their future., ♥

What appeared to be a missile, was spotted on a soviet radar screen. The Russians were set to launch their own in response. Then, a commander figured if the Americans were going to attack, it would not be using only one single missile - it would be an entire arsenal flying towards them. Cooler heads prevailed and the 'missile' turned out to be a glitch in the mechanics of that radar system, or whatever it was called at the time. On both occasions, that and the sub, it would've only taken one finger and "ka-boom".

    This is something you may find interesting. It's Tom Clancy's famous 1991 book and 2002 movie "The Sum Of All Fears", and one of my favorites. Somewhere in the mid east a nuclear bomb is lost off a plane (these events are called a "broken arrow" by the military) and falls to the desert and is buried fairly shallow in the sand. It does not explode of course, because being an accident it was not armed. A few years later a Bedouin finds it but doesn't know what it is, but it feels strangely warm. He alerts his favorite terrorist group about it and they come to see it and know exactly what it is. After thanking him and telling him he did the right thing by telling them they take it away. Through their network they are able to recruit several nuclear scientists to dismantle it and rework it into a working weapon. They decide that what they have wanted to do for many years is strike the US but can't do it by plane so they load it into a gutted soft drink dispenser machine and put it on a ship to sail it to New York harbor. From there it's moved by truck to the Denver football stadium for the upcoming Superbowl, where disguised "workers" installed it inside the stadium which of course will be packed full of people in a few days. No one pays any attention to it, figuring it's just out of order. In the link below Tom takes many pages to describe in incredible detail what happens step by step the steps that are needed to start a nuclear explosion and what happens as the shock and heat wave, x-rays and gamma rays radiate outward. He take many pages to describe what takes just a few billionths of a second. Start at Chapters 35 & 36 and page 487 by scrolling down in the full book link below.

Even that peninsular French target indicated, the one James was concerned with, was to Jersey's west and the prevailing winds would carry radiation away. The white circles are too large for the actual blast zone (which should be considered not just the incineration zone, but also the shock wave zone within which buildings are damaged).

    I just looked at the point in Normandy at Cap de la Hague and it looks like the La Hague site is a nuclear fuel reprocessing plant at La Hague on the Cotentin Peninsula in northern France, with the Manche storage centre bordering on it. La Hague has nearly half of the world's light water reactor spent nuclear fuel reprocessing capacity.[1] It has been in operation since 1976, and has a capacity of about 1,700 tonnes per year. It extracts plutonium which is then recycled into MOX fuel at the Marcoule site. It looks like that would be a target in nuclear war. It seems you are probably 42 clicks from there as the crow flies. You would see the light on the horizon and then need to worry about fallout but you will survive the war.

    The doctrine is called MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction). The US stance was (and still is) "If we detect as little as ONE a credible launch from you (Soviet/Russia), we will respond with EVERYTHING WE GOT against you". Russia has the same doctrine as well. This is because both sides cannot guarantee that there will be anything left after the first round strikes with which to respond. Both sides have pledged no first strike use. This doctrine has kept the peace all throughout the cold war, albeit a tense one.
    Russia knows that if it strikes the US, NATO will respond. Therefore, Russia will always attack the US and NATO simultaneously. Both the US and NATO will respond. China, seeing that Russia may lose and will have to face the US alone will also strike the US. The US will then also strike China. Israel seeing that big brother (US) may not be around to protect them will strike Iran and Saudi Arabia. Iran if they have gone nuclear will respond by striking Israel and Sunni Saudi Arabia. North Korea seeing big brother China may not be around to protect them will strike the US, South Korea and maybe Japan. India and Pakistan will probably use the chaos to launch opportunistic strikes at each other. In short, once it starts, it will be a whole big mess

    I'm a 63-year-old American born and raised during the Cold War. I remember the emergency drills during the 1960's at school, in case of storm or nuclear war. Every town and city had a Civil Defence marshal co-ordinating where people would go for shelter, and providing necessary items (food, water, first aid, etc.). At the height of the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union together had over 30,000 thermonuclear warheads deployed. Today, the 9 known (USA, Russia, China, UK, France, India, Pakistan & North Korea) or suspected (Israel) nuclear powers have less than one-third that number deployed.

But if it did, it would be bad… When the bombs dropped in 1945, mostly everything and everyone in Nagasaki and Hiroshima disintegrated. But those bombs in 1945 were 20x less powerful than the least powerful nuclear bombs the United States possesses today….
