World War III seen through Soviet eyes
-
The nightmare of nuclear war in Europe - a spectre that haunted the world for half a century - stood revealed yesterday in terrible detail.
In a historic break with the past, Poland's newly elected government threw open its top secret Warsaw Pact military archives - including a 1979 map revealing the Soviet bloc's vision of a seven-day atomic holocaust between Nato and Warsaw Pact forces.
The defence minister, Radek Sikorsky, showed off the map at an emotional press conference.
He described it as a "personally shattering experience", pointing to a long line of nuclear mushroom clouds neatly stamped along the Vistula, where Soviet bloc commanders assumed that Nato tactical nuclear weapons would rain down to block reinforcements arriving from Russia.
About two million Polish civilians would die in such a war, and the country would be all but wiped off the face of the Earth, he said.
On the map, western Europe lay beneath a chilling overlay of large red mushroom clouds: Warsaw Pact nuclear strikes, using giant warheads to compensate for their relative lack of precision.....

There is no such thing as a 'grenade-sized nuke'. Considering that the critical mass for both uranium-235 and plutonium-239 is about 7kg, it would take a much bulkier chassis to hold the fissile material, conventional explosives, and all the supporting mechanisms.Originally posted by fallin:I heard before that a grenade-sized nuke landing in orchard road is already enough to wipe us out.(Can anybody verify this?)
Incidentally, the smallest nuclear warhead ever produced weighed 23kg: the Davy Crockett RR.

Not the kinetic blast, but the radiation fallout will cover us pretty much.Mid-range will be hit the most, assuming Ground Zero will have the particles radiate upwards due to sudden low pressure cell forming. So, areas like Thomson, Bukit Timah, Clementi, Geylang, etc (within 10 min drive from the CBD) will be badly hit by fallout.Originally posted by fallin:I heard before that a grenade-sized nuke landing in orchard road is already enough to wipe us out.(Can anybody verify this?)
Perhaps the northern HDB towns who are beyond the catchment area, might still be relatively protected.. but I'm not too sure..just a guess.. -
