nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap3d If so, has anyone entered in Raqqa as the target? Just curious. Dan PS. I don't think my iPad wants to open it.

has anyone entered in Raqqa as the target? 20kt tacnuke (Hiroshima-sized blast) on Raqqa, with 100% fission efficiency and 15mph winds blowing towards the northeast: link If the US is really ed and smacks someone with a Trident 2's 455kt W88. But only ONE 455kt explosion (note that there could be as many as 12 of those landing in the area…): link

Lion, How did the Raqqa one look? Please, please. :) Dan PS. My iPad doesn't run it, and I can't get up and walk to the desktop without excruciating pain. I'm way overdue on my drugs.

It looks like a waste of time, unless burning up farm fields is your goal. 100k dead, any residential structures would probably fall down. A lot of empty farm fields burn up. If you use a fairly common nuke cruise missile.

Even the 20kt warhead was pretty low-fatality. 70k dead, 100k wounded. Pretty sure the USAF could do that with a single B52 raid and all conventional bombs.

Thanks so much! Dan

No, but I entered Fort Bend Texas! That was my though as well. Some poor civilian schnmoe in Ar-Raqqa sees this post, says, "Oh, hell, no, Dan!" and enters Fort Bend.

What's in Fort Bend Texas?
