And A2012, no offence to Scan, is looking kinda ASB. And In any case, NO ONE survives that. We're talking about nothing left in 3 continents, and a number of hits in two others. Africa might get peppered a bit by Israel and allies. Overall, we're talking some 2.2 Billion dead after the initial strikes. Then another 4 billion dead of starvation, fallout, etc. When everything sttles, we're talking a plausible total population under 500 million. And huge numbers of those would be disfigured by fallout etc.. Asia has around half the world's current popualtion, and maybe tiny bits of Central Asia and Siberia, where no one lives anyway, will survive. Africa only takes litght hits, but collapses into chaos and starvation: bye bye, 700 million people. Europe, North America, the next two most populous continents; gone, bye bye, 1.5 billion people. South America takes a peppering, maybe fall apart; bye bye, 50 million people. Australia, gets hard hit, loses most major cities, worse than 83DD. Bye bye. What's left? A few collapsed nations and warlords in Africa? Heaps of radioactive slag in India? Starving refugees pouring out of Eastern Europe, reaching no where, dying of the radiation somewhere, painfully, alone? Well, maybe in a few million years, a more decent species can take over the world. Because humanity will be wiped out, after this. Um... Guns... You only just saw the sites hit list which is still a draft and massively incomplete. Theres no need to go banging down the TL before I even get it up mate. As per your concerns on number of weapons used, it will be significantly higher than DD ( between 1,000 and 2,000 fired) but many sites will be hit twice and other sites will be spared by missile defense systems across Europe, Asia and North America, and the occasional malfunction, thus bringing the actual number of sites hit on par or lower than 1983:DD Scan, I posted that based on what I heard before seeing that sites hit list. In the modern world, accuracy is much, much higher, and all these countries have satelites that can TELL when a site has been hit, and auto-redirect the nukes, even with an active fail-deadly. If what I said, doesn't happen, it'll will just be ASB, way too lucky. In ANY nuclear war in the modern day, according to current alliances. Anyway, in the modern day none of these sites would nuke each other.
