What happens if Russia uses nuclear weapons in Ukraine?

What happens if Russia uses nuclear weapons in Ukraine?

Many weapons that Russia has used in Ukraine can carry nuclear bombs. What would be the impact if Russia used them?

On March 29, a Russian sea-launched missile struck a government building in Mykolaiv, killing at least 35 people.

The missile used, "Kalibr", can also carry nuclear warheads.

Many of the missiles that Russia has used in Ukraine can be used for nuclear attacks, including the long-range ballistic missile.

In August, Russia hit the railway center of Ukraine in the city of Chaplyne with an "Iskander" missile, while with a "Kh-22" missile it destroyed a shopping center in Kremenchuk in June.

But experts say they don't know the power of the nuclear bombs these missiles can carry.

The bomb dropped on Hiroshima caused an explosion equal to 15,000 tons of explosive TNT, or with a power of 15 kilotons.

Weapons that can be used in Ukraine can range from less than one kiloton to several hundred kilotons.

According to the Nukemap website, created by historian Alex Wellerstein, if a Kalibr missile like the one that hit the government building in Mykolaiv was equipped with a 1-kiloton nuclear bomb, it would kill over 18 thousand people.

About 700 meters from the site of the attack, almost all but the strongest concrete structures would have been destroyed.

500 meters from the site of the explosion everyone would suffer third degree burns.

The fatal dose of radiation would extend to 780 meters. Most people in this radius would die within a month.

The other 15 percent would later die of cancer.

This is assuming that the nuclear bomb would explode above ground, causing massive damage, over a wider area.

While an explosion under the surface of the earth, causes more serious consequences, in a smaller space.

The blast would destroy residential buildings up to 460 meters away, compared to 700 meters for an above-ground blast.

But within 220 meters, everything would be destroyed, including the concrete buildings.

An impact on the ground causes a much higher rate of radiation, as it is spread by wind.

The extent of the effects depends on wind and rain.

This would be the scenario with a relatively small nuclear bomb of 1 kiloton.

Nëse raketa “Kalibr” do të pajisej me një bombë 10 kilotonëshe, numri i vdekjeve nga një shpërthim mbi tokë do të rritej në mbi 53 mijë njerëz.

Shkalla e lartë dhe fatale e rrezatimit do të shtrihej deri në një kilometër nga shpërthimi.

Një kilometër e gjysmë larg ndërtesat do të shembeshin, ndërsa njerëzit do të pësonin djegie të shkallës së tretë.

Dritaret do të thyheshin deri në 4.25 kilometra larg.

Ekspertët thonë se raketa “Kh-22”, që goditi qendrën tregtare në Kremençuk, mund të bartë një bombë prej 350 kilotonësh.

Nëse kjo do të ndodhte në qershor, do të shkaktonte vdekjen e afër 100 mijë njerëzve.

Ndërtesat do të shkatërroheshin deri në 5 kilometra larg vendit të shpërthimit.

Në një distancë prej 7 kilometrash njerëzit do të pësonin djegie të shkallës së tretë.

Depending on the winds, in the event of an explosion above ground, the consequences of radiation could be felt even in Russia.
