There's a web page called Nukemap.
You move ground zero where you want it, select a warhead or yield and see the rings of destruction!
So I took the USA hit list from Challenge Magazine issue 27 and did all the targets.
Basically it's all the refineries and select military targets.
Here's MacDill and it's 1mt airburst hit:
It's bad to be in the orange.
The small orange circle is the fireball radius (0.66mi).
The orange-gray circle is the 5psi line for moderate blast damage (4.37mi).
The larger orange circle is the thermal radiation radius for 3rd degree burns (7.57mi).
The big gray circle is the 1psi line for light blast damage (12.3mi).
I am well clear of it!


Gosh! You sure put a lot of faith into the targeting accuracy of our enemies....remember, most communist societies operate on "good enough" at +/- 5 KM from intended destination, if the thing even gets anywhere away from the launch pad ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt's not faith! It's in the book!
