I need targets for a test.

I had thought the formulas I used were for airburst but I will need to double check that.(Edit checked and they do appear to be the optimum altitude formulas). I am going to redo a good portion of the math anyway.

I originally took the formulas from

But now they have improved it to include overpressure and fallout. Guess I have more work in front of me.

Interesting. Pretty colors!

But if you really want to sink your teeth into some juicy targets, try Moscow.

Or, of a more military place of importance (because I want to see what it would take to mess me up nearby), try to take out the missile silo grid near Malmstrom AFB in Montana. I'd want to see how many missiles would be left after a MIRV hit that area.

just for total political incorrectness how many nukes would be needed to achieve the iranian presidents wish of removing israel "from the face of the world"

and can it actually be done without slaughtering the entire region
IE stay in the lines so to speak

Hey Paul,
Why the anamosity for Texarkana

Well...it's the place I ended up after living my teenage years in Hawaii, where I had left behind a lot of dear friends. And Texarkana was a real culture shock -- it's a "big little town," with small-minded morals, prejudices, ideas, and most of all, they don't like "strangers." I wasn't just a duck out of water, I was a duck in the Gobi Desert. Those yokels actually told me I had an accent! I don't have any identifiable accent; my "accent" is a composite of all the places I've lived in my life. Texarkana is like a ghetto for white trash!

Well I guess I will agree with you. My daughter lived there for a while and that was her impression also.

Sounds like a fun place remind me to add it to my vacation list - I'm sure they'd make me welcome
