If there was a nuclear war between Russia and America, how many lakh people would have died in the first hour? Scientists warn

Posted on 10th Oct 2022 by rohit kumar

The ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia has completed 7 months. In these 7 months, the Russian army has destroyed many big cities in Ukraine. Till now lakhs of soldiers from both countries have lost their lives in this war. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that he is ready to use nuclear weapons to protect the border. This statement made by the President of Russia in September has raised the concern of Ukraine as well as the West.

 

After this statement, it is speculated that Putin may use small or limited-range tactical nuclear weapons on Ukraine. How much damage can the use of nuclear do to a country? The world is completely aware of this. Japan suffered a nuclear attack in the year 1945, but the terror of that incident is still in the minds of people, they still get scared remembering that day.

 

In 1945, during the Second World War, when America carried out nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, thousands of people in that country were killed in a few minutes. People continued to die even years after the attack.

 

In such a situation, after this threat of Putin, the question must be coming into the minds of the people if the nuclear war of 1945 had caused such great devastation, then after decades how deadly a nuclear attack equipped with new technology can be. According to scientists, if Russia conducts a nuclear attack on Ukraine or such a situation arises, then this explosion will bring nothing but devastation.

 

the destructive use of nuclear

 

America's Princeton University has prepared a hypothetical audio-visual scenario called "Plan A", assessing the current situation. This scenario shows how disastrous the use of nuclear would be in the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.

 

The four-minute-long video shows a fictionalized scene of Russia attempting to fight NATO members. First, the war takes place between Western European countries and Russia. But once all the major cities are bombed, the war turns into a war between the US and Russia.

 

According to the scenario shown, Russia will target some big cities in America and there is no danger warning in those major cities. But in reality, the citizens of America's cities where bombings are being talked about will already know that nuclear weapons can be detonated here, giving people enough time to hide.

 

A total of 90 million people will die within a few hours

 

From this assessment, scientists concluded that a nuclear explosion between Russia and the United States alone would kill 3.1 million people within 45 minutes if there was a nuclear war. Overall, a total of 90 million people will die within the first few hours of conflict across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, and that number does not include deaths from nuclear fallout or other long-term effects.

 

On the other hand, there is an organization in Switzerland, International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN). According to this, millions of people can die in an atomic bomb explosion. At the same time, if 10 or hundreds of bombs fall, then not only will there be millions and millions of deaths, but the entire climate system of the earth will deteriorate.

 

The whole earth system will deteriorate

 

According to ICAN, if 100 bombs of the same size were dropped in the atomic bomb that was dropped in Hiroshima in 1945, then the entire system of the earth would deteriorate. In such an attack, the climate system can be badly affected and agriculture will also be affected.

 

According to ICAN, the world is currently battling global warming, but if there is a nuclear war, then the temperature of the earth will decrease. Because the smoke coming out of this attack will freeze on the surface of the earth. It is also estimated that due to nuclear war, at least 10% of the places will not have sunlight.

 

Now, what if the atomic bomb explodes?

 

According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, an international arms watchdog, the number of nuclear weapons worldwide is 13,865. This number of nuclear weapons can destroy the earth fifty times.

 

On the other hand, if any nuclear-rich country attacks America or any city in the world today, then the devastation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki will prove to be dwarfed. At present, 9 countries in the world have nuclear weapons, including Russia, America, China, France, Britain, India, Pakistan, Israel, and North Korea. In this figure, only those weapons were counted which have been deployed or are to be dismantled were.
