Nuclear war is clearly a very dangerous threat. Therefore, both Russia and Western countries that have it refrained and so far only bluffed. Nuclear war scenarios are indeed terrible.
The nuclear war simulation was held by academics at Princeton University some time ago. Using data from the Nukemap website, the simulation was developed to provide awareness about nuclear hazards.
If there is a conflict involving the terrible weapon, especially between the United States and NATO against Russia, then tens of millions of people can be immediately killed or injured in just a few hours.
"It is estimated that there will be more than 90 million people killed and injured in the first few hours of nuclear conflicts," they were quoted as saying by Express.
The simulation demonstrates how conflicts between Russia and the US can reassemble the conventional war into nuclear conflicts. "This project is motivated by the need to underline the potential for damaging consequences in the US and Russian nuclear war plans at this time," they said.
The simulation is developed based on the actual nuclear power and the potential target attack. In this scenario, Russia began to launch nuclear weapons on the NATO base and cause devastating damage.
Researchers in Princeton estimated that in the first 3 hours, the victim would reach 2.6 million. NATO then responded to attack on the Russian weapons system. Then also fired nuclear to a densely populated Russian city.
"Russia and NATO each are eyeing 30 cities with the most population and also the economic center, using 5 to 10 upstreams of explosions in each city, depending on how much population."
Thus, civilians did not escape the target by both parties. In this point, the number of victims can reach nearly 90 million people globally due to nuclear war.
It was concluded that at the beginning of the nuclear conflict, there would be 34.1 million people immediately died and 57.4 million were injured. "Long -term deaths will significantly increase," said the researchers.
Nuclear explosive upstream capabilities vary, depending on the construction and design. But for the current standard, the atomic bomb that was previously dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki is nothing.
Modern nuclear bombs are much stronger. Hiroshima and Nagasaki's atomic bombs are about 15 kilotons of TNT and 20 kilotons of TNT. Modern nuclear bombs, 5 times stronger.
"Many of the modern nuclear weapons in Russia and the United States are thermonuclear with explosive power equivalent to 100 kilotons of TNT," said International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapon quoted by Detitche Welle.
In terms of quantity, Russia has the most nuclear warheads in the world, there are 6,225, according to data from Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. United States in second place with 5,550 nuclear warheads.
