Russian expert spoke about the consequences of the use of strategic nuclear weapons

Deputy of the State Duma of the VI convocation, a specialist in the field of nuclear support of the RF Armed Forces Maxim Shingarkin, during an interview on the Day TV channel, spoke about the consequences of a hypothetical nuclear war for the countries participating in it and for all mankind as a whole.

The expert noted that strategic nuclear weapon, both in Russia and in the United States, in the first place, acts as a deterrent. At the same time, the nuclear potential of each of the above-mentioned powers is enough to destroy the entire population of the enemy several times.

At the same time, according to Shingarkin, even in the event of a hypothetical nuclear war between Russia and the United States, there will still be survivors on the territory of the conflicting countries, because the blow will be delivered mainly to megacities.

A Russian expert described a likely scenario for a 1-Mt nuclear missile strike on a million-plus city. According to Shingarkin, within a radius of 2 km everything will melt, and within a radius of 10 km, a “microwave effect” will result, which will leave no chance for living organisms. At a distance of about 20 km from the epicenter, everything in its path will literally be “demolished” by a blast wave, and within a radius of 40 km, ionizing radiation will act for about a minute. Outside this zone, it is already possible to survive.

As the expert put it, one should not forget about the secondary consequences: large-scale fires, lack of electricity and water supply, as well as other negative factors.

In general, according to Shingarkin, on the territory of the countries participating in the conflict, it is possible to forget about any civilization for a long time, even if part of the population can survive.

At the same time, the expert emphasized that the potential and doctrine of the nuclear powers are calculated in such a way that the states that do not take part in the conflict will not suffer. Therefore, the destruction of the entire human civilization in a nuclear conflict is a myth. However, the expert says, apparently, about the exchange of individual strikes, but not about a massive nuclear attack.

What is it like? Radiation works here, but not there? "Wind Rose" is also nothing?

Therefore, the destruction of the entire human civilization in a nuclear conflict is a myth.

But nothing that the next war will be with bows and arrows? How is the human "civilization" in the form of mutants and subhumans?

Such a course of events cannot be categorically allowed!!

[MBRSS]

Mankind somehow relaxed in a bad way with respect to nuclear weapons. It is necessary to produce an exemplary explosion, 10 megatons, in the atmosphere. So that the flash could be seen far away, the satellites hit, the connection stopped and other delights. Maybe then some will think about the consequences of their actions.

[Leshak]

... there will still be survivors on the territory of the conflicting countries ...

But where do they live? After such an Armageddon, there will be a couple of clean territories and a miscalculation. Well, water, food, etc. So perhaps the living will envy the dead.

They think to sit out with a supply of food for a while, and then go and buy in supermarkets. Vaughn is recommended in Europe now to charge batteries and phones for the winter. It's like winter for a day..

[ALARI]

The charges will not be nuclear, but thermonuclear, and they are much cleaner. Already after 7 hours, the dose in the affected area will drop tenfold, after 49 hours - 100 times, and after 14 days - a thousand. After 14 weeks, even in the former "red" zone, it will be possible to walk with almost no risk to life. So you need to sit out in the bunker for about 4 months, and then how lucky you are in the new world.

For a while they will live in pain. Some will live longer, adapt, maybe give birth to mutants. But life will be like the early Middle Ages. Although in some areas, the population will be less radiation, but due to the completely destroyed infrastructure, the same early Middle Ages. But there will be no next world war, for the world will consist of disparate tribes, far from each other.

Will not suffer from the primary factors listed by the author. But winds, including stratospheric ones, will carry radioactive dust, ash and fallout across the Earth. In this, whoever is lucky, can be especially lucky in the southern hemisphere. But the secondary factor dust and ash will lead to a cooling on the entire Earth and at least crop failures for several years or even decades. Volcanic explosions with ash emissions previously caused a cooling effect.

Well, and those who hide in underground bunkers, like rats in a shipwreck, will choke when a tsunami passes from the detonation of a 100 Mt PNA STATUS-6 charge on both sides of the SGA. In addition, cobalt water will saturate the entire area and create an unacceptable r / a background for many decades to come ...

A simple question, excuse me, but why, what is the point of us infecting our own territories (sooner or later it will be so)? Now conventional weapons are in no way inferior to tactical nuclear weapons in terms of fire damage, and surpass them in many parameters and efficiency. What is the point of the Russian Federation to use nuclear weapons before an offensive, and the troops are not ready to conduct military operations in such conditions, and even with negative political consequences?

Why do I have such a desire? Because the Soviet authorities explained to me in detail and competently in my childhood what was the priority of an attack on Ufa and in detail what would happen to me if a nuclear weapon was struck. MY native government told me everything, and which now hinted that I would go to heaven, this is actually all of its competence

The worst thing that can happen in JV is Anarakhia in conditions of terrible overpopulation, along with the destruction of infrastructure facilities and chemical enterprises. People will die in batches and bring down each other as well. The conflict from the outside will instantly become internal, aggravated by hitherto unknown ecological hardcore. Large-scale fires, chemical releases into the water and atmosphere, missed sowing campaigns, lack of clean water and organized sewerage for millions of people (= unprecedented scale of epidemics), destruction of technological support for the law enforcement system - all this and much more.
Oh yes, climate disruption - imagine how much CO2 and soot will be released into the atmosphere in a short period, how much volatile compounds will be from burning plastics, heavy metals, how many rats and fleas will breed, how many rivers and lakes will be poisoned, how much of this will also poison aquifers , making a lot of springs (where they still remain after that) unusable.

A simple question, a simple layman. Why not destroy, together with the personnel, all research institutes and manufacturing enterprises engaged in the development and manufacture of this type of charge? Israel, at one time, without any long conversations and discussions, without "clucking and flapping its wings", destroyed 2 research institutes and reactors in Iraq and Syria, instantly closing the topic and threats. Have we already reached such a stage of helplessness and dependence on external opinion that we are unable to quickly and permanently eliminate promising and real threats of this order? But what about at least the obligation to fulfill the guarantor for the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons, if the fate of one's own state worries less than the image of its neighbors, etc.? enemies. They did not even hesitate to humiliate themselves and disgrace themselves to the whole world, turning across the ocean to the metropolis and their lackeys, who themselves organized this, saying that your little rat offends me, do something.

By the way, Israel destroyed a similar threat in Syria in the same way, without shouting and noise, without "hand-wringing" and appealing to the world community. For the first and second strikes and the elimination of the threat, even in the future, he was subjected to critical sanctions (google) from the same amers and the UN that he wanted to spit on, ensuring his security, and this with total dependence on external supplies. Of course, if you are worried about your villa in Miami or LB, then I sympathize with your loss.
