Nuclear fission produces the atomic bomb, a weapon of mass destruction that uses power released by the splitting of atomic nuclei. When a single free neutron strikes the nucleus of an atom of radioactive material like uranium or plutonium, it knocks two or three more neutrons free. Can it destroy a Whole country. What makes nuclear weapons the worst. 1 A single nuclear weapon can destroy a city and kill most of its people. Several nuclear explosions over modern cities would kill tens of millions of people. Casualties from a major nuclear war between the US and Russia would reach hundreds of millions. can nuclear weapons be intercepted Short answer: It's very unlikely. As you read above, causing a nuclear bomb to detonate requires a precise orchestration of events, without which the chain reaction does not initiate and the bomb doesn't detonate. What are Hypersonic missiles Major Powers, such as Russia, China and the US have been racing to develop hypersonic missile – a missile system so fast that it cannot be intercepted by any current missile defence system. 3 Likes |

Russia dominates the US with nuclear weapons capacity...and Russia is difficult to invade due to its size. Russia is the second bigger military in the world after the US...and guess what? The US only passes it in budget, research and dev. The US will likely crawl into their hole. They've shed more blood than any country. You guys think this is a war between Russia and Ukraine? Lol. If Russia was warring against Ukraine, Ukraine will be gone in half a week. This is a war between Russia and the US. They are all waiting for a reason to start and never stop using the their nuclear arsenal until its apogee. Who bi Ukraine to challenge Russia? Even Nigeria stands a chance against Ukraine! The only country in the world that stands a chance against Russia is the US. Ukraine x16 doesn't stand a chance against Moscow alone. Russia is patiently waiting for anything related to the US to intervene. My dear, it will take years for the US to recover. Did I hear you say it's a lie? Smiles. China is the third biggest military and guess whose side it is on? You guessed right. They will all fight a common enemy. This is a tussle for dominance and Russia has nothing to lose. The US knows this and that's why they want to use the media to make you leave the facts but hate Russia...because English is more dominant than the Russian xqolvian djdkrkn. Get your facts. It may help you understand better. Before you crucify me, I don't support Ukraine, Russia or the US. I don't support war. I don't support bloodshed. I support peaceful agreements. But... I am only telling you the realities on ground. 18 Likes 2 Shares |

chatinent: You are not sincere. Russia has more to lose in a nuclear war. Just imagine fighting from all fronts. Once, they had issues with Chernobyl and that was the beginning of the end of the USSR. Do you think Putin that could not take out Ukraine in 4 days can do anything? As we speak Russian forces have lost Krakhiv, the second-largest Ukrainian City while still struggling around Kyiv. 3 Likes 1 Share |

chatinent: 1. Russian forces have failed to capture a major Ukrainian city in 4 days after having lost a substantial number of soldiers. Imagine what will happen if they face a more technologically advanced superior force like NATO ? They will be obliterated. 2. The USA also has ICMBs - LGM-30 Minuteman. Range of 13,000 km. Speed 15,000 mph 3. The USA has one of the best air defence systems called - Terminal High Altitude Area Defense There is a reason why a Nuclear war is called MAD or Mutual Assured Destruction.

chatinent:You are in deep pain because your great Putin is finding it difficult fighting a very weak army with poor training. So you have to hide your disappointment by casting the conflict as between Russia and US. Even Putin went on TV to warn the US not to get involved which confirms that Russia is aware that the fight is strictly with Ukraine. The US is still dragging its feet regarding military support. If the US fully support Ukraine with advanced defensive weapons, Putin's army will be chased out with their tail between their legs. The US doesn't need even one soldier on ground to achieve this. 1 Like |

GodHatesBigots: Russia lost a large number of soldiers and the Ukrainians are still running? If you don't know, everything about Russia and its facilities are majorly for constructing the instrument of war. They have been waiting for a reason to war against the US. Not just mere shooting. I mean nuclear war. Why does Russia want that? Because they have grow in size in nuclear equipment than the US. Continue gorging on the American media propaganda. You think initial gragra na him? Make US go put head na. It will take Russia less than a week to demolish Ukraine to the ground if it meant business. What it wants is the US. Ukraine is a bait. Russia na your mate? I am not saying the US cannot face Russia squarely. Of course they can. They have the capacity too. I am saying Ukraine is not a problem to Russia if they really meant business. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

You really don’t know anything about war; with your write up you portray being pained and frustrated, Russian can’t even fight nato combined if USA was out of the picture. It’s not by claiming you have weapons that haven’t been tested or hyping your poor technologies when the real war starts we would know who would go into oblivion or plead for forgiveness between Russia and the usa chatinent: |

When I read some comments here I shake my head True we don't want a nuclear apocalypse, God forbid. I pray that peace returns to Ukraine and they appreciate it better this time around. In the case of a nuclear apocalypse neither US, EU or Russia would survive it. I mean no one will come out of it. There's no missile shield or anti missile that can help even the s400 being the best of them all currently developed, manufactured and deployed by Russian military....over 80% of this nukes will hit their target I hope it doesn't get to that and both Moswcow, Brussels and Washington stop with their aggressive posturing 1 Like |

Olumighty123:If it's Nuclear, there's what t is called retaliatory strike.( This was developed for such a scenario where the entire country is wiped out) the country through their submarine will strike back and consequently both nation's get annihilated (M.A.D). For the survivors/other countries will then suffer the effect of the radiation (Nuclear winter). The half life of a radioactive elements (Uranium 238) is about 4.5 billion years the least among the Uranium family is 25 thousand years(uranium 234). Paraphrased it will take this no of years for half the element to decay. So do the maths and imagine the effect on the survivors. Therefore let's all pray for peace, it's priceless. 3 Likes |

Putin is upset.... He has become a pawn in his own Master game. With China going neutral on Moscow. The mind/ war games has shifted from him to btw American and China. The Chinese want to be world economic super power if they abstain from this war.... And likewise uncle Sam wants to retain their super power if the could only fight through proxy. I really feel for Putin.... He feels betrayed and stuck hence the threats to go nuclear. Their is no way Moscow will nuke Ukraine without the consequences of it affecting Russians land mass, air and environment. Imagine having to deal with radioactive air you caused when you are politically and economically in shambles. He can't nuked the west cos he will not only have a super power to deal with but also major powers that are militarily active and also capable of deploying nuclear weapons within a short period. Now...the Russians citizens are on the edge already due to their bleak economy and political futures. They have been isolated. Once they have collectively seen that its just one man and his elites are the source of their problem...then boom. That is the end of Putin's political dynasty. So to save the government, the elite would not want to go down with him...then boom again. They take him out to retain their assets, power and money. On a lighter mood.... My North Korea guy is quite envious of Putin now. He should be at the center of attention not Putin...lol. imagine preparing for this kind of situation all your life to show the world you are a strong man but no one is looking at your side... That quite unfair . NB: I have always asked this question overtime. What if it was Russia or Chinese or NK or Iran is the world leader or super power would the world be more free than it is now? Let's ponder on it. Say no to war....say yes to love of God and human. 3 Likes 1 Share |
