Consequences of a global nuclear war

Global nuclear war


When they talk about a global nuclear war between Russia and the United States, which other official and unofficial members of the "nuclear club" will definitely join, they believe that this will mark the end of humanity. Radiation contamination of the area, "nuclear winter", some even believe that life will be completely destroyed, and the planet will split into pieces.

The complete destruction of life on Earth, as well as the splitting of the planet into parts, are such absurd scenarios that there is no point in even discussing them. This was impossible in the mid-80s of the last century, when the total number of nuclear charges on the planet exceeded 65 thousand warheads, and even more so now, when the total number of nuclear charges in all countries of the world, taking weapons (TNW) does not exceed 15-20 thousand warheads.




Estimated number of nuclear weapons in the world

Disputes about the possibility of a "nuclear winter" are still going on. Climate models are being built, discussions are underway. Some are inclined to believe that the "nuclear winter" will become almost a new ice age lasting decades, others argue that the "nuclear winter" will last several months and lead to local consequences, while others believe that a global nuclear war will generally lead to an increase in the greenhouse effect and global warming.

So which of these is more real?

First, despite the global growth of computing power, the emergence of neural networks and the improvement of software, climatologists still cannot predict the weather for a period exceeding several weeks with an acceptable probability. What can we say about predicting the climate after a global nuclear war?

Secondly, in terms of the impact of nuclear weapons on the planet's climate, one can draw an analogy with volcanic eruptions. For example, on August 27, 1883, the Krakatoa volcano erupted, located in the archipelago between the islands of Java and Sumatra. It is believed that the force of the explosion during the eruption of this volcano was 10 thousand times higher than the force of the explosion at Hiroshima. 18 cubic kilometers of ash were thrown into the air, burning stones scattered over an area of ​​four million square kilometers. At a distance of 60 kilometers from the site of the volcanic eruption, people burst their eardrums, the blast wave circled the Earth seven times. The average annual temperature in the northern hemisphere of the planet decreased by 0,8 degrees.

During the eruption of the supervolcano Tambora on the Indonesian island of Sumbawa in 1815, about 100 cubic kilometers of ash were thrown out. A significant amount of volcanic ash remained in the atmosphere at altitudes of up to 80 km for several years, the global temperature dropped by 2,5 degrees.


Illustration of the eruption of the supervolcano Tambor in 1815

What conclusion can be drawn from all this? Climatic changes in the event of a global nuclear war, of course, will take place, but they will not be a determining factor affecting the survival of mankind, rather, a negative addition to other factors.


A global nuclear war will not lead to either a nuclear winter or global warming, but it will definitely have a negative impact on the climate

Contrary to the statements of politicians and the military that a nuclear war can be "humane" and only military facilities will be bombed, the author has no doubt that a global nuclear war will be as "cannibalistic" as possible. At the moment when it becomes clear that the enemy's intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) have left the mines and their targets are unknown, a retaliatory strike will be delivered by all available forces in order to inflict maximum damage on the enemy. The targets will be the largest cities and industrial facilities, critical infrastructure facilities, nuclear power plants, hydroelectric power plants, storage facilities for spent nuclear materials and hazardous chemicals. The banned "nonexistent" biological and chemical weapons will be used.


Hiroshima. This is what most of the world's major cities might look like after a massive nuclear exchange

There is no doubt that neither the United States nor Russia will allow anyone to get a chance for global leadership in a post-nuclear world. Therefore, all developed industrial countries will receive their share of nuclear charges. Other members of the "nuclear club" will act in a similar way: North Korea will strike at the South, China and Pakistan will clash with India, Israel with the Arabs, and so on.

Despite all this, the end of life on Earth will not happen. It is difficult to predict what percentage of the population will be destroyed in a global nuclear war, in any case it will be billions of lives. Some will die immediately, some will die as a result of radiation and chemical contamination, epidemics, lack of medical assistance, hunger, cold and other factors. It can be assumed that at least half of the world's population will die in one way or another.

The rest will plunge ... no, not into the Stone Age, but into the beginning of the XNUMXth century completely.

Losses and causes


On the one hand, the destroyed humanity will have information about previously developed technologies, on the other hand, the conditions for restoration will be completely different from those that existed before. If we assume that humanity will roll back to a level of technological development roughly corresponding to the end of the First World War, then we can expect that in three decades people will again go into space, again create nuclear weapons, and in a hundred years they will return to "today".

In reality, there will be a number of complicating factors:

1. The highest urbanization of the population. At the beginning of the XNUMXth century, most of the population lived in rural areas, in houses with individual heating, sanitary facilities (albeit in a “vegetable garden”), a garden and a vegetable garden, and now more than half of the world's population lives in cities. High urbanization will lead not only to large losses in the first hours of a nuclear conflict, but also to the subsequent extinction of the population from cold, hunger and unsanitary conditions.


Increase in the share of the world's urban population


The urbanization of the population has led to the fact that tens and even thousands of villages were abandoned.

2. The extinction of the population will be facilitated by the general weakening of health, which arose during the weakening of natural selection: thanks to the success of medicine, those whose death was inevitable a hundred years ago now survive. This should not be taken as a call to return to families in which there were a dozen children, but half, or even two-thirds of them did not live to come of age, but the fact remains. In the event of a global war, without access to medicines, many will die, the birth rate will decrease, and maternal mortality will increase due to the lack of qualified assistance during childbirth.

3. The countries' orientation towards the post-industrial world will also contribute to the worsening of the situation. When they talked about the post-industrial world, this, of course, did not mean a post-nuclear world with a destroyed industry. It's not even about lawyers, financiers, managers and other similar professions that are in demand in our time, but about the fact that production and industry have changed in many ways. Where 1000 workers and 500 machine tools were previously required, now 10 CNC machines and 5 adjusters are enough for them. CNC machines require complex maintenance, specific consumables and quality blanks for their work. In the event of a global nuclear war, even if high-tech equipment does not break down immediately, it may become unusable over the next several months.

Even if old machines are found, five conventional CNC machine operators cannot replace 1000 skilled workers. And they are not, since they are not in demand and they are no longer trained. As a result, many professions will have to be mastered from scratch.


Modern manufacturing is unlikely to survive in a post-nuclear world

The same is true in everyday life. How many people can now sew clothes for themselves or at least fix them? In schools, labor lessons are often replaced by etiquette or religion lessons.

The number of those who can grow something by hand is gradually decreasing, and in some civilized countries the cultivation of food plants without a license is punishable by fines. It’s strange that they don’t go to jail for growing dill and potatoes.

4. The globalization of technological processes will further complicate the revival of the post-nuclear industry. There are no countries left in the world with complete production chains in all industries. Even the United States and China do not have all the necessary technologies and resources, something must necessarily be purchased in other countries. In Russia, after the collapse of the USSR, the situation is much worse: the dependence on foreign components is colossal. If the industry does not produce transistors and capacitors, then the problem is not only in their absence, but also in the absence of specialists who can understand how to produce them.

5. Compared to the world at the beginning of the XNUMXth century, the extraction of resources in the post-nuclear world will become much more complicated. Many available deposits have been depleted, and those that do exist are far away and require high-tech equipment for extraction: deep-lying northern oil and gas, shale deposits, exhausted copper and uranium mines.

It is also unlikely that it will be possible to make "ecological" fuel in sufficient quantities - it would be enough for food. The reuse of metals from destroyed cities will be difficult due to the radiation induced in them.


Growing raw materials for biofuels can be an exorbitant luxury for the post-nuclear world

Thus, energy and resource hunger for the post-nuclear world will become a huge problem.

6. Radiation contamination of the terrain will additionally complicate the already complex resource extraction and movement across the terrain. The largest sources of resources themselves, most likely, will be subjected to nuclear bombardment, and will remain radioactive for several tens or hundreds of years - there will be no resources to deactivate them. Exploded nuclear power plants, which are highly likely to be destroyed in a global war, can create even greater problems. Dozens of "Chernobyls" will not only aggravate the problems outlined in paragraph 2, but will also create huge contaminated zones that impede the movement through them and the lives of people on their territory.


The explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant led to a global environmental disaster. The consequences of the destruction of dozens of nuclear power plants around the world, coupled with nuclear strikes, can be an order of magnitude more serious

7. Finally, a significant problem will be the destruction of the state structure in many countries of the world, widespread separatism, up to the level of individual settlements. Even if the leaders of individual countries of the world survive, it is far from the fact that they will be able to retain power and take control of the situation in their country.

All of the above problems are typical not only for Russia, as one might think, but also for almost all countries of the world.

Hack and predictor Aviator


Humanity is distinguished by the highest vitality, the ability to adapt to the most difficult conditions. There is no doubt that even in the event of a global nuclear conflict, humanity will survive and continue its development.

In combination, all seven of the above points can have a synergistic effect that will slow down the return of human civilization to the current level of development by several hundred years. Only one thing is certain: even after the most destructive nuclear conflict, wars on the planet will not stop.

We will talk about weapons and armaments that can be used in the post-nuclear world in another article.

    The forbidden "non-existent" will be used biologicale and chemical weapons.

    This alone may be enough for civilization to be destroyed. Man as a species will probably survive (here I agree), but civilization will roll back much further than the beginning of the 20th century.

      The Russian army will direct the main blow against the military targets of the enemy, and the States against the civilian population in order to morally break. It happened more than once. The most striking example is Hiroshima and Nagasaki, where there were no military objectives.
      And in WWII, during the bombing of Germany, residential quarters were smashed to pieces. A fresh example of Raqqa was smashed to rubble.
      Unfortunately, "civil defense" has been destroyed in Russia, bomb shelters have not been built for a long time, and civilian casualties can be enormous.

        Hiroshima and Nagasaki, where there were no military objectives.

        You shouldn't judge real life by school textbooks. I also graduated from the Soviet school, but after that I also read books, moreover, published in the USSR.
        Hiroshima is a large army warehouse, and a military port in the middle of an industrial zone.
        Hiroshima was also home to the headquarters of the Second Army Group, which defended the entire south of Japan, as well as the headquarters of the 59th Army and two divisions. In total, there were about forty thousand soldiers in the "peaceful city".
        Nagasaki is a large port, plus a kamikaze base, 200 exploding Shinyo boats and a hundred Renraku-tai boats., Large industrial enterprises (steel, shipbuilding, engineering and arms factories.
        "Fat Man" exploded 1300 meters from two Mitsubishi factories for the production of Type 91 air torpedoes and torpedoes for submarines. Nearby was the shipyard, which made the huge battleship "Musashi", and other factories.

            I did not serve in their general staff and I do not know the priority targets. In the same way, I do not know the plans of our General Staff, they do not inform, neither of them. And guessing on the coffee grounds and engaging in hysteria, sorry, I do not think it is reasonable enough.
            In any case, civilian casualties will be monstrous.

              The complete destruction of life on Earth, as well as the splitting of the planet into parts, are such absurd scenarios

              I may say some amazing things, but it's true.

              Fact: Iron is magnetic.
              Consequence: in a dusty nebula, condensing into a planet, it is the particles containing iron that are first combined into a core, which leads to the formation of an iron core. It is this core that is now responsible for the planet's magnetic field.

              Fact: When squeezed, a substance heats up.
              Corollary: The nebula condensing around the core heated up, resulting in a thick layer of molten mantle around the iron core. It is the mantle that makes up the largest mass of the Earth.

              Fact: In a liquid, heavier substances settle down.
              Consequence: Uranium and transuranic elements settled down to the very border of the iron core. This concentration of radioactive substances led to the creation of a natural nuclear reactor. When in some part of the reactor, for whatever reason, nuclear reactions are accelerated, "going around" - convection flows arise due to the greater heating, and the reaction is inhibited.

              Fact: Shock waves cause the substance to thicken, and the denser radioactive substance is easier to initiate nuclear reactions.
              Corollary: Mass nuclear tests in the 20th century warmed up a planetary nuclear reactor. Unlike single asteroid falls, these explosions were from all sides, as a result, convection currents do not cope well. This is precisely the reason for the explosive increase in the number of earthquakes. Even if there are no more trials, earthquakes will only increase for the next several thousand years. Only after 10-15 thousand years will they decline. Detonating multiple bombs at once will detonate the planetary reactor.

                  It is more optimistic to assume that the explosive increase in the number of earthquakes is associated with an increase in the activity of the planetary nuclear reactor, and someday, even after thousands of years, will decline. It is more optimistic than to assume that multiple attempts to obtain black holes at accelerators, starting from the 60s, were partially crowned with success, and microscopic black holes, falling between the atoms of the walls of the accelerator, failed, gradually increasing towards the center of the planet. And now they are growing ...

              DSK is right, all wars since WW2 clearly show that the Americans are trying to destroy the population, because it works in factories and produces weapons and so on. Germany, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq - most clearly show and prove this. And if you remember the history of the destruction of the Indians, then you do not need to receive reports from the General Staff - and so everything is clear.

            The author lost sight of the forest fires on the planet in the event of a nuclear war. Not only can the planet lose its "lungs", but the smoke from burning forests will be contaminated with radiation and it will not be easy to hide from it. I believe that not a small part of the world's population will suffer from fires.

              The author very, very much belittled the consequences of the strikes of nuclear weapons .. The reactors will be destroyed not dozens, but hundreds, and possibly thousands. Look at France, even the fact that there is, is signing the death warrant for ALL of Europe, but besides France, there is still wow .. The destruction of the largest hydroelectric power plants will wash away everything and everyone .. Even fires similar to the summer of 2010 created a lot of problems in the country in peacetime in the event of nuclear explosions, there will be orders of magnitude more fires across the globe .. All the governing forces of civilization will be destroyed and who will fight against the glowing ruins of hundreds of reactors, the consequences destruction of dams, and burning forests? Who are these wonderful people and where will they come from? So a rollback to the beginning of the 20th century is a fairy tale, most likely a rollback to the Middle Ages, and this will happen for more than one hundred years, but in some places people will survive, but not about any civilization even at the level of the early 20th century cannot go .. Radiation is for a very long time, these are not environmentally friendly thermonuclear explosions, but millions of tons of waste and products of destroyed nuclear reactors, do not drown out the Chernobyl reactor in due time and today half of Europe would be life-threatening .. So the author is very pink I drew a picture because the living will envy the dead ..

              Most US bases are located near major cities. In addition to military bases, there are production facilities, at least for weapons, they are all in large cities. It is necessary to knock out the economic component of the enemy, the production of fuel, which means for various gas processing plants and refineries, power plants (this is listed in the article), and how can it be without seaports and terminals. Well, what about the top leaders of the state and the Armed Forces, as well as infrastructure and communications? Those. cities, cities and again cities.

            During the planning of the strikes, six targets were considered. The original list included:
            1) the arsenal in the city of Kokura, Japan's largest military production and supply center for a wide variety of military equipment. It occupied an area of ​​44 thousand square meters. Close to it were railway depots, machine-building plants and power plants;
            2) Hiroshima is a large center for the transfer of Japanese ground forces by sea and a point of formation of a sea convoy. This is the city in which the headquarters of the local ground forces were located, as well as a contingent of 25 thousand soldiers. Along the eastern border of the city there were railway depots, army depots and ports, where troops were loaded onto ships. Several large industrial facilities adjoined the main part of the city;
            3) Niigata is a port in the Sea of ​​Japan that has recently gained great importance. It had an aluminum plant and a very large metallurgical plant, as well as oil refineries and a port for refueling tankers;
            4) Kyoto is a cultural and industrial center with a population of about one million people. In the past, the capital of Japan. Recently, many industries and a large number of the population from the destroyed cities have been evacuated to this city. The large area occupied by this city made it possible to expect that the area of ​​destruction would be inside its territory, and this would help determine the destructive power of the bomb.

            Then Nagasaki and Yokohama were added. Moreover, on August 9, the main target of the bombing was Kokura, and Nagasaki was only a spare.

          The targets of the bombing in already defeated Japan and Russia will be incomparable. The Japanese had already lost everything, the blockade, but how to force their generals to surrender, if they ceased to obey even the emperor, to land troops? Erase Tokyo and all the culture? In Russia, before death, they will not ask for surrender, but destroy immediately and completely.

        The Russian army will direct the main blow against the military targets of the enemy, and the States against the civilian population in order to morally break.

        Putin once said that in the event of a conflict, we will strike at the decision-making points. But ... I have a question - where are these decision points? Many will of course answer - Washington, London, etc. ... but for me, not everything is so obvious. I will explain.
        It has long been clear that the "legally elected" rulers are essentially just puppets. They act as heralds of the will of narrow circles of elites, who are the people who de facto make decisions.
        So where will the blow go? The whole question of the prospects for a nuclear war (yes, in fact, any global war of the past and future) is not the will of presidents and kings, but of these elite families. And as long as these elite families continue to exist and hold the power over the world in their hands, the question of any war will be only a matter of time. It doesn't matter how many nuclear weapons someone has. It doesn't matter from the word at all.

          In almost 90% of cases, these will be:
          - country villas, villas in foreign countries
          - suburban VIP-hotels, VIP-hotels in foreign countries

          Did we have a lot of full-fledged bomb shelters capable of receiving a certain number of people and allowing them to survive for some time without going to the surface? This time.
          And secondly, this is already a commentary on the article - the survival rate after a nuclear war in cities will be negligible, because now the urban population is completely tied to electricity and natural gas! And after the outbreak of war in the cities there will be neither one nor the other! The population is losing the habit of preserving and preserving. Refrigerators will not work, water will not pump, there is no light. A week later, mass famine will begin in the cities. There will be no delivery - nowhere! And the Ministry of Emergencies is not omnipotent, the same people work there and live in the same cities.
          And the industry will not work for the same reasons, plus a reduced number of engineers and technical personnel. Pessimistic? Yes, but this is the reality of our century.

          Are you serious? Or are you kidding?

          I am quite serious. Because any cadet of any military school of the USSR studied the discipline "Weapons of Mass Destruction and Protection of Troops and Objects." Nuclear, chemical, bacteriological and (here's the trick) - incendiary. Do you know what a "mixed defeat" is? The colonel, who taught these wisdom, even told how a shepherd dog survived three explosions of a shell with an OV. So the competent advice on how not to die of stupidity in this mess you will rather hear from the military, and not from a nuclear physicist. And their advice is based on hundreds of trials in everything you can. From animals, food, water, shelter, iron and measurements of everything that is possible. And not on the Schrödinger equation for a particle in a potential well. laughing

            Well, the article was about the Consequences! And about the military - not worth it. They have a utilitarian task - can you hold a weapon? Press the buttons? - means order! And we are about something else!
            “And this is the result of the Chernobyl accident for the Russian“ Chernobyl ”region - if before 1986 in the Bryansk region there was not a single case of thyroid cancer in children, according to Lyudmila Kolmogortseva, now it is a common tragedy.
            Lyudmila Kolmogortseva: “During this period, more than 2 cases of thyroid cancer, confirmed in children. The Bryansk region took first place in the world in the number of thyroid cancer in children (proportionally - RFI) ... "
            This is Americium 410! Not Schrödinger's cat. This is pain and death here and now! And only the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. One!

            The fact that this topic of protection from OV was noticed after the "attack of the dead" in WW1 - I read it, everything in the description was justified, I agree. But fighters and officers are not a dog, by the nature of their use they could figure it out. And they spat blood, repulsed the attack, but did not survive. And it was the first world war, and there were still "those", effectively deadly, but "unpretentious" in comparison with today's cocktails. And our chemists also talked about the practice, one "grandfather of chemical troops", with a rare for a chemist chasing Fosgenych, while we were doing color painting zones under his leadership, also hounded about his participation in exercises with real undermining and running of infantry over the remaining splendor. And I don’t remember the brave stories about how great it was, none of the participants in the "race" in a short time later did not sneeze.
            And jellied bikes are the army norm. Or is it news? wink About 20 years ago, guys / ship repairers in Sevastopol, in all seriousness, told me the "heroic" flights of one squadron commander, how he, while flying with a pair of wings of his fighter, quietly knocked on the lantern of his wingman, like paying attention to something there. And I have known this squadron commander personally for a long time, a really good pilot and at the same time a good joker. And now try to convince the hard workers later that it was a funny mess with a serious face! But if you believe everything ... then you can see Su rushing along the wing laughing

              Yes, doubt, your right. Some do not believe that the Earth is a ball. The dog is one of hundreds that are tied up in trials. And it is not surprising that at least one of them will have a protective reflex. Surprised, tied up again and watched. People left - buried her face. They began to approach - stuck it out. She died for the third time by a mixed shrapnel defeat. It is simply an indicator of soil adsorption.

        Do you think that it is extremely important for the military to start a nuclear war to prepare the population with the help of Overton windows? Not at all.
        There is absolutely no nuclear hysteria now. I remember that I went to school at the end of the 80s, and we were small, somehow, even on a drill, were removed from classes and led in an even formation to the bomb shelter. Posters with the damaging factors of nuclear weapons, biological weapons, cluster munitions hung picturesquely in the OBZh office. I remember lectures on HBO so far that most chemical warfare agents have a pleasant smell, etc.
        And what films did you shoot? "Threads", "The next day", "Terminator 1,2" is the same. Cartoon "Barefoot Gen". Really nuclear nightmares could have dreamed after such views.
        It was then that such Overton Windows were open, that Mama, do not cry. And now everyone has calmed down with the massive use of nuclear weapons.

And this weapon is aimed not only at the mills that created the nuclear weapons, but also at the countries on whose territory the nuclear weapons are located. The United States is building its bases on the territory of Romania, and what do you think, will nuclear weapons be directed at them, or not? And how far from the same Romania to Bulgaria. So in the event of a war, all missiles of both opponents will fly in all directions, and both the right and the guilty will fall under the distribution.

    But he immediately gives an approximate amount of nuclear weapons. What will happen when they are practically simultaneously brought out to Humanity? Moreover, the downed missiles will crash to the ground or explode in the air and still add radiation.
    Radiation is a factor against which living organisms have no protection. Shockwave, Amy, flash ... It's all one-time and won't reach everyone. But what about the decay period of hundreds of years? Where to run if there is the same source of radiation in the neighboring area?

I read somewhere, they set up an experiment on rats: the population in H-th number of rats was placed in conditions, many times with an increased radioactive "background" compared to the usual one. Half of the population died prematurely. The rest gave birth to offspring. Of the offspring, only a quarter died prematurely, the rest gave birth to offspring .. The bottom line is that after several generations the population recovered and came to the same mortality rates as before being placed in special conditions.
      Further, the increased radiation "background" was removed. And again - the same picture: half of the population became extinct, the second gave birth to offspring, in this generation - a quarter dies out, then mortality falls to the initial level.

      Nuclear charges in modern times are very clean (more than 90% of the reacted substance, with a substance mass of several kg).
      Even in the event of a charge failure, the amount of nuclear material is very small, in this case the nuclear power plant is much more dangerous.
      Well, one more plus, materials with a long half-life of hundreds of years will give a much lower background than any iodine-131 with a half-life of 7-8 days.

      Even a person has protection from radiation, the simplest option is a dark skin color (ultraviolet light is also ionizing radiation, it completely ionizes oxygen). In addition, there are other options for protection from immunity, to intracellular mechanisms of DNA repair.
      Well, the most interesting thing is that all the radioactive materials that exist now appeared on earth at some point, and judging by the depth of the strata (less than that of oil strata), complex multicellular life on the planet in those years already existed (up to dinosaurs), and from for the same decay, they fonili are several times or ten times stronger than now.

    First, despite the global growth of computing power, the emergence of neural networks and the improvement of software, climatologists still cannot predict the weather for a period exceeding several weeks with an acceptable probability. What can we say about predicting the climate after a global nuclear war?
    Invalid comparison. Forecasting the weather and predicting the consequences of the release of hundreds or even thousands of cubic kilometers of ash and hundreds of millions of tons of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere are completely different tasks.
    Similarly, the comparison with volcanic eruptions is incorrect.
    Today, the combined capacity of the US and Russian nuclear arsenals is approximately 13 megatons. The eruption of the Tambora volcano, which caused severe climatic anomalies on the planet in 000, is equivalent to about 1816 megatons, but the consequences of a volcanic eruption and many thermonuclear explosions will be very different.

      So then the very statement about the occurrence of a nuclear winter is incorrect, since all existing models were originally built on the effects of cooling from massive forest fires or large volcanic eruptions, this is given that in the 50s and 60s the number of nuclear explosions per year was measured in hundreds, and the effect was not even observed.

          The second point is that the average power of the tested charges in those years is comparable to modern ones, which, given their quite significant number (100 bombs is about 6% of the current number of warheads of the strategic nuclear forces of Russia or the United States), should have caused at least some effect observed throughout the world ( an increase in the background throughout the planet, or a decrease in temperature by at least tenths of a degree), which for some reason was not observed.

          The problem of nuclear winter is also that in some cases it is justified by massive fires, which is also little confirmed by practice (the same forest fires or fires of oil fields in Kuwait with millions of tons of soot, since a whole billion barrels of oil burned out, do not cause or did not cause any global climate changes)

And the military is well aware of this, they are preparing with might and main to conduct hostilities in the conditions of the use of nuclear weapons. The Japanese never left Hiroshima or Nagasaki for a day, and their reverent attitude towards health is well known. So not everything is so scary.

    The consequences of an exchange of nuclear missile strikes can be as described by the author. But the author, whether deliberately, or considering that this has nothing to do with the topic, bypassed the real potential of modern strategic missile defense, both Russia and the United States. Earlier, the military talked about the missile defense division and the missile defense position area of ​​Moscow / Central Industrial Region to the Ural Mountains. In the latest messages from the MORF, we are already talking about the ABM army, and, based on the fact that the army formation includes 3-4 divisions, I would venture to assume the completion of the construction of another 2-3 positional missile defense areas covering Siberia and the Far East with an iron dome. Modern kinetic interceptors of interceptor missiles do not create damaging factors of a nuclear explosion and, at the level of modern missile defense technologies, provide guaranteed interception in two echelons. And for a response to an aggressor to a preventive nuclear missile strike, if it creates technological risks for the single national economic complex of Russia, there has long been a 4202 product, including nuclear equipment, which, it should be noted, the “partners” do not yet have. And the North American missile defense system, consisting of GBI / SM-3, is not capable of guaranteed interception of such objects. Therefore, taking into account the material resources already invested in the national strategic missile defense, I believe that it is necessary to carry out work to improve the interceptors of the "A-235" system, taking into account the appearance in the armament of the "partners" of hypersonic maneuvering units, similar to those recently shown to us in cartoons ...

    I did not understand something. It's like the stories of Tom Clancy, America's war against Russia. But Russia has hats with earflaps.
    But what about the charges in the cobalt shell? Several of these, and the northern hemisphere has been shining for a hundred years.
    Now there may be fewer charges, but humanity has made great strides in the development of radioactive materials.
    It’s one thing when the reactor of a station bursts under pressure, and quite another when all the fuel that was in the reactor is scattered around by a nuclear explosion.
    In general, it is interesting to calculate the area of ​​contamination of the territory during the explosion of a bomb in a cobalt shell at an altitude of 25 km.

    Just in case, those who are "lucky" to survive the 40 minute war (that is how long the exchange of blows will last), I recommend that everyone now carefully start studying videos on YouTube (and generally subscribe to the chela's channel) under the general heading "Primitive Technologies". Well, it's natural to do for yourself an amendment to the climatic realities of Russia. Whoever suddenly has a link to his book in Russian, then I ask for a link.

    It's funny, but in 2018 I had a dream about a nuclear war. Specifically, how 4 warheads flew across Yekaterinburg. Three in the north and one in the south (from the factories, as I understand it, they arrived). Then I still figured out on a special map (web application) the affected area if 100 or 150 kilotons. And then on one of the forums I read that in 2018, in one of the parallel worlds, a nuclear war happened just in 2018. And in our branch of reality, we were close to it in 2015, in the spring, I think.

    In the event of a nuclear post-apocalypse, I look forward to visiting the village of Upper Balkaria, Kabardino-Balkarian Republic. We have a small, recently reconstructed hydroelectric power station, a lot of cabbage, apples, lamb and magnificent landscapes))))) The truth about cereal dishes can be forgotten, there is no good land. Close the tunnel in the gorge and sit in the mountain "fortress"

    "humanity is not threatened with death.
    a person gets used to everything "
    in school eighties I remember this alignment: with a mutual attack, immediately lard (mostly white race).
    over the next five years, two more. then it was almost six.
    only half of the heads from the herd!
    nothing will end, but only begin.
    and again not the strongest will survive, but the most cunning.

    The level of the article is depressing. A couple of numbers and text as long as war and peace at the level of a housewife magazine. Ok, the author indicated how many warheads the Russian Federation has. Next, how many will be launched and with what carriers? Wiki suggests that there are fewer than 600 carriers with about 1500 warheads. What is the possible number of targets - military and civil, taking into account the primacy, and not one by the United States, but taking into account the NATO countries. Warhead interception rate? Areas of destruction in case of detonation based on the power of the warheads we have in comparison with the areas of settlements? For a number of targets, it seems necessary to lay more than one warhead for duplication. What is left in the end? Will all be released according to NATO? Will we leave nothing as a reserve for some non-NATO neighbors on the left and below? They can come to the left for fuel and land. Not that they will come from below, but simply we have no one on the right. And without eastern resources, the central Russian Federation looks pale

    Damn, and in our city there is a hydroelectric power station and a wood chemical plant, one rocket is definitely provided for us, in Soviet times we had a missile unit for the defense of the city, now there is nothing for hundreds of kilometers, plus in Irkutsk Yarsy, in our region they will beat for three days, there will be little pleasant, but I will have half an hour to have time to dump on the "hacienda", it is under the mountain, the shock wave will not catch, there is a cellar, pickles, jams, potatoes, a stove stove)

    Well, in general, such things are written in order to form one or another attitude towards the very fact of the use of nuclear weapons. In this article they write that it will be very painful, but not critical. This attitude is quite correlated with our nuclear doctrine, which in turn proceeds from our practical capabilities. Well, actually - what's the difference, gentlemen? We will all die in any case and without exception, wolves are afraid not to go to the forest! With the scoop, we were mortally afraid and where is this scoop now? Yes, scoop! And let's make an effort not to become like him so that he doesn't end up

    States will not get involved only in a shootout with the Russian Federation. Otherwise, untouched China will remain on the sidelines, which will declare itself immediately after the Apocalypse. They cannot allow this, therefore, only a blow to us is unlikely. But then China will have to be forced to react in response. This will help us.

      The DPRK will survive because they have universal military training and periodic drills with a run to shelters. And we have only philosophizing: "why do we need shelters", "but there will still be radiation", "let there be no war", "why discuss all sorts of horror stories", etc.

    If one of the warheads strikes at Yellowstone, another at the California Rift, and the rest at other targets, then the world will still survive, and the United States is definitely gone. Alaska and Hawaii will remain, but most likely already as independent states.
    For this perspective, 3 MB can already be started. What a wonderful world it will be without America!

    With Germany, everything is clear - the Destruction of Dresden is a response to what the Germans did to Coventry, then the term "coventry" arose and was introduced at the suggestion of the Germans, not the Americans.
    Regarding Korea, Vietnam and Iraq: if you provide data on cities destroyed by American aviation in these countries, I agree with you.

    without "cities", mattresses in Vietnam killed an estimated 5 civilians, not counting those killed in Laos and Cambodia.
    They poisoned civilians with a chemical weapon banned by the Geneva Convention, called Agent Orange. Because of its use, about 400 Vietnamese died, and to this day cripples are born - the products of the Monsanto company affect the gene pool.
    On March 16, 1968, the U.S. military killed 504 innocent villagers, including women and children. Only one person was convicted of the crime, who was released 3 days later on the personal order of US President Richard Nixon.
    Always and everywhere the United States destroys the civilian population, the aggressor country, you can give a long list of the barbaric US attacks on countries in the 19th and 21st centuries: https://matveychev-oleg.livejournal.com/9649867.html?_e_pi_=7%2CPAGE_ID10%2C3985881258

    The author puts pressure on us, readers, that humanity will survive anyway. Yes, it will survive. But there will be no electricity, gas and oil. All of these structures will be destroyed first. Industry will also be destroyed. Naturally, a nuclear winter, lack of crops, food, water and medicine will lead to mass extinction of people. And this is without taking into account the direct loss of life during nuclear attacks. Mountains of rotting corpses will lead to cholera, plague, typhoid and dysentery. There will be no one and nothing to treat people. And there will be no one to bury.
    Socially. Statehood will disappear. For the purpose of survival, people will unite in gangs. Robbery, violence, murder due to lack of justice will become the norm.
    The loss of science, knowledge and teachers will lead to general illiteracy. And who will restore industry and agriculture 50 years after the war if all specialists simply die during this time. The author apparently believes that in some magical way dying specialists on their deathbed will teach the younger generation how to work in factories that no longer exist, how to grow bread in the absence of sowing stocks that will be eaten by hungry crowds of sick and hungry ragamuffins. And after 50 years of this chaos, there will be nothing to restore. Everything will just rot.
    It's another matter if the state manages to preserve its power, is able to solve all the issues of complete devastation, make people work, and destroy banditry, then the scenario of human development will be different. But this is from the realm of fabulous dreams that everything will be restored, as if by pike.
