also nukes dont have as large of a range as you think, you can hit key cities and infrastructure but you wouldnt get all their launch sites

I think our subs have bigger payloads than one may think

russia is bigger than you think

Well, the nuclear blast will decimate everything in the region...further leaving the region inhabitable for 1000years

Dozens of maines

also the sub launched missiles dont have the range of icbms

China has similar because they hacked all US technology

They have the range of everywhere in the world

Agreed, but the nuke will have the same impact ?

no

they are smaller warheads

Ok...got you. Makes sense.

they are weapons of mass destruction but it doesnt like... flatten a whole country

They can travel from sub to the continent they are outside of without moving

sub per continent that's the world 😅

lets see

largest SSBN is the ohio-class

**largest american SSBN

Armament: 24 × Trident I C4 SLBM with up to 8 MIRVed 100 ktTNT W76 nuclear warheads each, range 4,000 nmi (7,400 km; 4,600 mi)

24x8x100kt

That’s a big enough war head to flatten the country...slbm : submarine icbm?

no

its not

20psi range is only .795 miles

ionizing radiation is only 1.25mi radius

per 100kt

And a regular icbm.?

depends on the icbm

the largest could take out a city basically

but not from primary blast

Let’s hope it doesn’t come to it

Prevailing winds

well what im saying is, you can not have a first strike devastating enough to prevent a retaliation

@Zuluzeit I want a new rollercoaster to jump on - suggestions?

heres an entire subs payload

Retaliation is inevitable...methods in place for such responses.
