Airburst for maximum damage on this bomb wouldn't have fallout effects.

Surface blast would, but blast casualties would be cut in half.



Not good by any means, but anything "ending as we know it" as far as a nation would only apply to peace of mind.


Now if a larger Chinese or Russian bomb were to have a surface blast here the fallout would be bad. If Russia and China are shooting at us I don't think we worried about only one blast, it would be full on nuclear war and the end of life as we know it.

I'll run it just to see what one would do though. Chinese Dong Feng-5




^ if this fallout were to travel northeast it would affect significant portions of MS and AL. Still not a game changer nationally, but like I said there wouldn't only be one of these
