You must have large antenna wires to accept EMP. The electrical grid would be most susceptible to this. Small electronic would not be affected. They generalize the effects of EMP in this program. It is also pointless to target hardened missile silos that are empty. Those warheads would be targeting actual military bases, command and control center, power stations, nuclear power plants, and naval shipyards. Also just about any major airport runway would get a strike as well. Comparing what happened at Chernobyl to a nuclear detonation is like comparing apples to wood flooring. It is nowhere near the same.

[@rogerbeckner6419]

To those of us who lived through the 60s and have stayed in the information stream, your comment is full of holes. EMP effects were tested at high altitude. A two-mile altitude airburst will KILL ALL microprocessor activity that is not shielded by a Faraday cage. Also, silos that have fired their load can be reloaded. You hit them so they cannot be used to fire again. Major airports would NOT be hit unless they were staging areas for dispersed military strategic aircraft. You only have so many nukes, and you have to use them sparingly. Yes, a nuclear detonation is worse than Chernobyl, but it depends on Kilo tonnage of the weapon and height of detonation. Look at our first uses of the bombs. You can walk safely around both cities now. The main killing vector was blast and thermal damage. That was because they were air bursts calculated to do the maximum damage without the fallout. Do more research before spouting your misleading "facts" and internet half-a$$ed research.

[@danm9006]

Glad you pointed out the impact of EMPs on small electronics .

[@derpymcderpello5381]

I'm not an expert but I disagree with the statement about small electronics. Something like a cell phone I think would be just as if not more susceptible to every other device out there due to their compact and complex design which makes them more sensitive to smaller EM interference. If you're talking about small simple devices however, then yeah they probably would not be affected very much.

[@insideoutsideupsidedown2218]

@@kevinowens6010 there are some who over estimate fallout. They tend to compare it to a nuclear disaster like Chernobyl or Fuchijima. They are no where close in comparison. Both Hiroshima and Nangasaki were rebuilt relatively quickly and are inhabited by more people now than in 1945. The issue with nukes is the destruction of infrastructure, the ability to produce electricity and the like. Major cities would be a place to avoid as they are completely dependent on rural farming to sustain them.

Well, this makes me glad I moved to Montana in the middle of no... oh. Wait, what? Dammit! Actually now way in SE corner (as if anywhere is safe). A few years ago when I did live along the Front Range, I travelled a lot up from Helena to Glacier Park and vice versa. Highway 89 flanks the mountains, far from the interstate and a nice route. One day coming down (southbound) into Augusta, I top the last hill and see what looks like an entire battalion of military armor/vehicles including a tank and an APC watching the road while they did something with the nearby silo.

When I was growing up during The Cold War there was quite a bit of education about how to survive a nuclear attack and even a bit about surviving the aftermath. Now that tensions between the big nuclear countries are at a peak I dont see much on the topic. Perhaps Governments have given up educating the GP because they realise its futile. Having a large amount of survivors would be a bad thing for everyone.

[@Sievert-xu5bj]

Congrats, whoever made this documentary , outside of the misleading "huricane" scenes, instead of a shockwave, and the overpresure stripping your skin off the explanation is spot on, quite rare for a documentary on this topic. A concrete "panel"wall is more likely to be caved in at around 15ish Psi or about 10psi if facing the explosion straight on than a mamals lungs and internals are to suffer very serious baro trauma.

12 minutes. That's how long Russian ICBM's would take to hit American soil. Back when I was a kid in the 1970's, we had a whole 15 minutes until impact, but alas, technology. PS - For submarine launched missiles, it could be as short as 6 minutes.

Most of the 50 year old missiles in the silos likely will not do well. That old design of fueling is very unstable. These silo missiles were meant to last 10 years, not 50…

[@CoalCreekCroft]

I've wondered about that many times. Even SpaceX and NASA rockets (hell, any of them anywhere) malfunction or blow up ... and those are NEW, "fresh on the plate". Only logical to think a great number will fail in launches; if they get that far.

[@useryggfdcc]

Russia modernized it whole nuclear missile fleet. All modern electronics. Another fun fact about Russia is its Perimeter system As soon as communication with the president and control are lost, the Perimeter system fires a single rocket across the whole Russia sending out the ultimate launch signal to every submarine, ground silo and mobile nuclear vehicle. Everything is heading to America.
