The first "H-bomb" was 10400 kilotons
but modern warheads are around 800 or less kilotons.
What if Nuclear war isn't as devastating as we thought it would be...

do note that the Avangard (hypersonic glide vehicle) would have 25 others being used around where it went off, like a shotgun spread.
less chance of shooting down 25 little warheads vs one big warhead

If they nuke our cities with precision and leave the suburbs unharmed, we can call it even and send them thank you notes
Anthony Cox
Interesting point of view.
But there're thousands of " small " nuke.
Wyatt Ramirez
A swarm of hypersonic missiles can be as effective, nonetheless they are considered tactical weapons
Jace Martin
As considered in popular media? No, not even close. The US and Russia working together could not come close to directly killing everyone in the US alone. Little alone striking each other with a focus on strategic (away from population centers) targets and ignoring the rest of the world. So not even close.
But there are some things that would happen that most might not expect, for one it would be likely that the energy grid would be completely destroyed as it went down from multiple failures. Just as an example.

Do you realize even the "small" ones is the size of a fucking city, right?

I’m just on board with that. Plus if they bomb DC tonight that would probably end 85% of the world’s problems.
Christian Morales
professor, how many would it take to remove israel?
Brody Hughes
if just one nuke landed in Israel 100% of the worlds problems will be solved.
Jose Rivera
dont need nukes for that, only need 20 good men

The thing to note with modern MIRV nuke clusters is it come in Heavy 800 kiloton 10 warheads load or Light 500 kiloton 15 warheads loads
example pic is heavy load with 10 warheads but about half (maybe more) would be decoys

What would the fallout be for a smaller nuke?

For cockroaches?

Post the 100Mt czar already

lol do it. no balls.

tzar bomb will end your theory
David Walker
a sizeable fraction of the world's Jews call New York City home.
nuke us first then Israel

More a matter of where it detonates. Ground detonation causes more radioactive fallout, but less damage than an airburst. Underwater causes lots of radioactive fallout as well.
Blake Edwards
the Tzar bomba was a waste of resources, it could never be loaded on a missile and it'd have to be dropped by plane, which would never make it anywhere close to mainland USA
>Tsar Bomba was never a practical weapon; it was a single product, the design of which allowed reaching a power of 100 Mt TE. The test of a 50-Mt bomb was, among other things, a test of the performance of the product design for 100 Mt. The bomb was intended exclusively to exert psychological pressure on the United States.
Dominic Barnes
No retard
Both on Japan were combined 35kilotons= 35000 tons of TNT
What you wrote is 10 megatons
Owen Bennett
just send them planes with tzar bombs till they run out of rockets to shoot you down.

High yield single warheads aren't as effective as multiple smaller warheads, as buildings would shield each other, what multiple warheads do is consecutive blast waves, which will destroy more buildings and cause more death due to collapsing structures.
High yield warheads are mostly for missile fields and bunkers, as a ground burst would send shockwaves in order to cause the missiles to be damaged or in the case of command bunkers overload their shock absorbers and cause collapse.
Bentley Ortiz
Maybe something with more surgical precision?

>"a city"
what city? There are ten thousands of cities on this world. Nukes are overrated.

dont live in a city. problem solved

He wrote H-bomb, so he's correct.
The largest H-bomb detonated was 50 megatons.

Nothing like starting a post off with a big fucking error

This issue with tsar bomba is no sane human can launch it. Nobody, no matter how tough, could withstand the guilt of killing millions with the push of a button
