 A Trident nuclear sub carries 24 D5 missiles with a range
of 4,000 miles. Each missile can be armed with 8, W88 warheads, of 475
kilotons each. Each W88 can be aimed at a different target, meaning 220
cities, and a total of 91,200 kilotons compared to 20 kilotons dropped
on Hiroshima,. These missiles reenter the atmosphere at 12,000 mph.
Several nations have such subs, which can, patrolling 200 miles off
shore, annihilate an entire continent in a matter of minuets, (first
impact is in six minuets).
Scenario 1: Imagine a sub has an overheated reactor
which will melt down in 20 minuets. They say," Let's take the enemy out
with us for the Homeland once and for all, so our comrades never have to
die this horrible death again." They turn four keys and execute
hundreds of millions, all because a $10 pump bearing failed.
Scenario 2: A commander and chief is told his country is under missile
attack. Minuets after he launched a counter attack from a sub, he's
told it was a false alarm. The target country retaliates with hundreds
of missiles. An extinction level event is unleashed on mankind in a
matter of minuets. |
