Maps show devastation Russian nukes would cause in US and UK


While his comments are hopefully sabre-rattling, with many analysts arguing he would never hit the button, the fact is that Russia has an arsenal of almost 6,000 nuclear warheads – the largest stockpile in the world. One such weapon, the Topol (SS25), has a range of around 7,000 miles – leaving the UK and US very much in the firing line. To better understand the outcome of a nuclear attack anywhere in the world, professor and nuclear technology historian Alex Wellerstein created the online tool Nukemap. The tool highlights in stark terms the devastating outcome of different nuclear bombs from various countries’ arsenals in any area in the world

London



: If landing on the Strand, near Trafalgar Square, the blast range of the 800kt bomb would instantly vapourise anyone from Westminister to Soho, and take down landmarks such as the London Eye, Chinatown, and the National Theatre. From Brixton to Camden, there would be further blast damage, with most residential buildings collapsing. Injuries would be universal and fatalities would be widespread. Thermal radiation would go further, with third-degree burns so severe they would destroy pain nerves and could even require amputation. Those on the outer ring, which affects Edgware to Croydon, would also suffer mass injuries and broken windows. Overall, it would be estimated there would be around 1 million fatalities, and around 2.3 million people injured

New York:



New York’s blast radius would see 1.6 million fatalities and 3 million injuries in the city. If landing in Soho, a fireball would engulf the surrounding neighbourhoods including Little Italy, Chinatown, Noho and the East Village. Manhattan, and parts of Brooklyn, Queens and New Jersey would also be engulfed by the blast, with damage radiating out four miles in every direction that would result in most city buildings collapsing and fires breaking out, with widespread fatalities. Those further afield, including in Harlem and Bayonne, would suffer third-degree burns, while light blast damage would extend to Staten Island and the Bronx

Well if it hit NYC I would think the death toll would be more because there are over 6 million people living there... either way I do feel this world is headed that direction.
