    That’s no surprise. If a nuke WW3 really broke out it would take 100’s of warheads to wipe out the UK.
    Your standard UK/US nuke, if landing in the centre of Sheffield, would only take out up to Thorpe Hensley.

    Long term fallout would be summat else though.

    More likely the Russians would cut off the head of the snake and drop one right on Westminster. To the cheers of the rest of us. LOL

    TBH if it were to happen best to be close to it. Just vapourise away. No point in suviving to die a slow painful death due to the radiation.

    In the 70's & 80's the Soviets targeted South Yorkshire to remove the coal and steel industries, which were key to the country surviving any sort of conventional ground war. If they targeted it now, they'd be taking out a few warehouses and meadowhall.

    If they drop one on Hillsboro , that could result in £20 "s worth of damage
