Nuclear War Simulator- Russia Nuclear Attack on the United Kingdom

- Using the Nuclear War Simulator this models a Russian Nuclear Attack on the United Kingdom which was a request from a comment on one of my previous videos. I ran this twice, once with Russia expending 30% of its nuclear arsenal and a second time expending 100% of their arsenal.
These are not meant to represent a realistic attack. I would go as far to say there is no realistic attack when it comes to nuclear weapons as the effect would be devastating far beyond the nations involved. Certainly even if unfortunate events transpired that the threshold was crossed there is not likely to ever be a scenario that Russia would target the UK with such a high percentage of its deployed warheads with 30% being the very upper limits. During the early to mid 80s when stockpiles were at their highest and warhead yields tended to be larger (over time the accuracy has increased and yield has decreased at counter value strategies moved towards counter force) these may have represented something closer to what could have happened under worst case scenarios. - Hry
Help me convince my wife it is time to upgrade our PCs graphic card. I just need 100 likes at the video below

Without even watching, I know that Europe always gets the absolute worst of a nuclear exchange. May it never happen.
Hopefully it never does. That is a threshold that should never be crossed.
well us Americans will be lobbing nukes over from across the sea u guys wilhave to tank all the closer range stuff
Thanks for adding this. A bit of an eye opener. Really useful information.
Thanks!
With a bit of luck a few of those nukes would explode on their launch pads
Anti-missile defences can be overwhelmed by fake warheads: MIRVs may have 2-4 warheads with anywhere up to 10 decoys. It is much easier to overwhelm a defence network with decoys than to counter and destroy incoming warheads.
That is true for any current systems. That's why it is odd Russia made the 2018 video talking about weapons that could defeat the US ABM systems, they already have had that ability through their current stockpile.
@@MagnusDivision It's a hedge against future development. They know that current ABM systems can't do anything against a full scale attack, but they are worried that in 30 years they might. The US is pushing hard on ABM tech right now, so it makes sense that US adversaries are looking for tech to counter it. Hence all the hype over hypersonics.
Needs a Republic of Ireland passport! But why is this so fascinating?
Just ignore the American bashers. There’s always trolls in comments. I’m Canadian. I like our American neighbours! Every American I’ve met has been super nice and very hospitable
Thx
When I was in Toronto people were great.
we love our Canadian neighbors as well, perhaps a little to much we can't go a year without assuming Canada won't attempt joining us even tho it's always super unlikely
If you could find people who could last 2 seconds without their vape@@MagnusDivision
I'm dubious that RU would expend a full 1/3 of its arsenal on UK. 1/10 sounds more reasonable given that UK has less than 1/10 as many warheads as RU has.
It would be an extreme example, I think I mentioned it later in the video. This video was a special request.
I dunno... Russia absolutely hates the UK so I wouldn't be surprised if they went overkill
UK is about the size of Oregon or 1/2 the size of France.
I have a substack page I write on and have started a series of short stories about a renewed Korean War in 2020. It has a paid subscriber feature but all posts are available for free.

Hope you got my reply back on CZcams about if you are Russian It doesn't matter hope we can be friends I live in Canada an just want to get along an have a friend on the ether side of the world lol
I am American.
From Liverpool lives in Wirral - so no chance!
Yo you do you man. It's isn't missptonounciation it's cadence :) peace and love bro
I’m from Northwest England and looking at the video my house took a direct hit. Which isn’t surprising as we have a nuclear power station within 6 miles and 20 miles away across the water we have Barrow in Furness where they make all of the nuclear submarines. We have quite a few legitimate targets near us such as the place where they make all the Euro fighters, and also the place where they communicate with all of us submarine fleet. I’ve always known that we would be a target here, but to see it in the flesh like this is quite harrowing
Fair stuff, but I think in a nuclear exchange the 1st targets which will receive hits would me major cities and army bases. Multiple warheads. Mixed in air blast and ground blast to maximize the destruction. UK and USA have a ballistic missile early warning systems for example the one in UK is called RAF Fylingdales. That site basically for this purpose. So if the UK can give a warning to their citizens to seek shelter and they will, because UK have an emergency system which will basically change all the radio stations and TV channels to the BBC Emergency broadcast even smartphones will receive such a text messages nationwide. Which is nice to have and very handy. But it depends how fast these broadcast go through in the nation. If you have 4 minutes to seek shelter you can just pray that you will survive the blast. Then it is all about on you how fast you are if you are not injured that much. If it will be 10 minutes basically you have more time. But all you need is to survive the first seconds of the blast. The huge flashlight, the heatwave and the shockwave. If you managed to survive it you need to find a shelter(You have around 10-15 minutes to do so after the blast) if you already in a shelter you need to stay inside for the nuclear fallout. At least 72 hours but ideal is 7 days basically a week. Given a 10 minutes to time to hide is like... Yeah. Not ideal, unsless you are already inside and you are far away enough from the nuclear strike location. But even if you are inside a shelter and you survive the blast the fallout is deadly. You need to prepare the area. Shiled yourself from the radiaton, seal any windows and any holes from the radiactive dust. It is very very complicated. Not easy to do so + you need to get water. Without water you not going to survive long. Without food you will be fine long enough just stay inside until the radiation gone(A week or so). But without clear water? You not going to survive a week. There is "good news" about the nuclear fallout btw. Most of the radation will go away quick. It will half in the first 24 hours and after 3 days you can kind of go and explore but you need equipment. This is why it is wise to stay a week in the shelter. After a week there should be no harmfull radiation unless you go close to the detonation zone or go nearby it. If you survived for such a long time(1 week) and you does not have radioctive sickness or any symptoms, you are kind of fine. You managed to survive it.
There is some great info in your post.
As far as targeting, it will depend on what the goal is. Maximum destruction is one option and as you pointed out it would involve a mix of air and ground burst and targeting of population, industrial, and military locations.
There is also a strategy around limiting strikes to military (counter force) strikes. The move towards smaller warhead yields with greater accuracy could lead people to believe that is a viable objective.
Even a strictly counter force strike would involve extremely high casualties.
@@MagnusDivision Yeah... In a nuclear exchange no one going to win. It will destroy our planet basically. Especially if we take into account that UK is a NATO country. So as soon as someone attacking a NATO country it means attack on the whole NATO such as USA. And if USA going to use NUKES on the attacker? Well, the whole Earth will be destroyed in matter of days if not in hours... Few of us going to survive the first weeks. And then there is an another problem to face. Nuclear Winter.
Submarine goes brrrrr
I hope there is never a nuclear war. The UK is such a tiny country and island, if it were a US state it would be just the 12th largest, between Michigan and its territorial waters and Minnesota.
Threads was a terrifying movie. You are correct it is far more limited in land area than the US, Russia, and China.
Oh good I'm dead, maybe I'll move to North Wales
The only safe place seems to be Southern Cornwall
Then the trident system kicks in and article 50 of NATO and Russia go bye bye...
Yes. This was a specific request regarding an attack on the UK. This would have seen a massive strike in return.
@@MagnusDivision oh indeed, Russia would become a wasteland, and I honestly think the Russians wouldn't waste many nukes on us if any, most would be in the North sea to cripple the Royal Navy. Without it we couldn't launch any sort of invasion or any troop movements. Maybe a few low yield groundbursts at Quick Reaction RAF bases but....
And also, ignore the idiot that called you a "f*ing American" without our cousin's across the pond we'd be speaking German now, and most of the western seaboard of the US would be speaking Japanese!
Always brothers in war and peace 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Fuck is
Yeah, this might happen.
Let's hope not. I noticed in the last several years a cavalier attitude towards nuclear weapons and gross misunderstandings. They should never be considered a viable option.
can you do a scenario where the cold war goes nuclear in 1983 please?
Absolutely
@@MagnusDivision
Thank you
Working on Able Archer goes hot
@@MagnusDivision
Nice, always wanted to see someone cover that
How about a scenario where 75% of the Russians nuclear icbms explode somewhere between launch bay and apogee? I mean, do we have reason to believe they’ve maintained their nukes any better than they’ve maintained their main battle tanks? Just my unqualified two cents. Great video .thank you.
Thank you and that is a great question regarding their rocket forces readiness. Historically more money has been placed in their upkeep but corruption is so rife it is hard to say.
The 2018 wonder weapons announcement by Putin was shocking because he showed a great concern towards defeating our Ground Based Midcourse Interceptors, which is odd because the system is not capable of defeating a Russian nuclear attack and the weapons he announced didn't really offer any capabilities they didn't already possess. That is unless their current systems were is a far worse readiness state than we believe.
75% is an extreme high all considering the scenario where every nuclear country most likely keeps 20-50% of their arsenals a secret so the enemy can't adjust to all our tech and their tech
@@randomguy6152 I agree.
When you factor in the other huge targets the Russians have to hit in an all out nuclear war, here’s how I’m guessing the amount used on Great Britain would be.
Russia would need to use far more Nukes against the US alone,
then you also have to think about how many nukes the Russians would have to use or even keep in reserve in the face of a very angry United Europe.
US (and US military) takes 40% of incoming nukes
EU would receive 40% (likely more),
5% at least would probably be kept in reserve (or be shot down, malfunction or fail to launch etc etc.)
In an absolute worst case scenario Britain and Northern Ireland would be hit with approximately 15% or less than half of the video’s attack.
This leaves around 45 million of us Brits left to give the Russians hell. the Black Death was worse than that.
Our entire economy would be absolutely disintegrated like the rest of the world so we’d have it pretty rough.
But I reckon we’d be in Moscow for tea when Vladdy looks through the binoculars and spots the Germans and Poles becoming very… VERY angry (plus yknow, America and Europe)
WOW
Are you a descendant of Robert the Bruce?
Not that I am aware of. Never crossed my mind.
u didn't add in the nukes that Russia blew up in UK's land that would just explode
There is likely a percentage that will not explode, go off course, etc etc.
Well white for Birmingham lol #me2?
Why Uk Did not send Nukes to Russia?
This scenario was just to effect the impact on the UK. My previous video did show it
Previous video where all nuclear armed NATO countries including UK have strikes against Russia and vice versa

kewl and thanks, any chance of a realistic sim, inculcating nato on 1 side and Russia, china and north Korea on other.
plus set up of people in the best areas that might give a chance to live though the opening nuclear strike..
i am base in mid wales and want to be ale to judge the best time to head to the cost and steel a boat and sail to Africa.
i may be over the top but i have one question everyone to think on and please comment.
image this mind experiment, there only 1 out come -
- History is as it was, and it is early in 1945. now imagine that hitter was magically given 20000 nuke. Would he press the button ? at that time he was already in scorch earth mode on his own people because he knew he was done and was happy to take every one out because that how our leaders think.
(entitled snow flakes, deluded self importance, detached from the people they lead or just shit humans? )
I would think he would have almost certainly used nuclear strikes to prevent the collapse of his regime. A better question would have been whether the Allies would have risked continuing their advances into Germany if they knew they had nuclear weapons.
Its incomplete if you consider the response.
Otherwise youre just simping for the commies.
This was a special request specific to what damage the UK would suffer. My previous video shows all out responses against Russia by all NATO nuclear armed countries.
Previous video czcams.com/video/tTqOB4cCmTc/video.html
Cut him some slack. No human being can possibly know how this will unfold . Theres a good chance America or the chinese have some sort of lazer system that will take out nukes as soon as the launch takes place
Where's the counter strike?
This was a request to show the damage to the UK so I did run any counter strikes. That could be seen in my previous video regarding a Ukraine escalation where NATO and Russia launch all out strikes against one another after a period of escalation.

@@MagnusDivision thanks dude I will take a look at the earlier vid 👍
@@MagnusDivision But not British counter strike. looking at history the UK would have to wait two or three years for America to respond going by the previous two WWs, lol.
Go Putin!!!!
