Would never happen. Putin has lied to the nukes as well..

And where do I live? About 30 Miles to the East of Portsmouth. Just Perfect...

I wonder what would happen to those of us in the north if this happened?

Good to know I'll be fine if they ignore Portsmouth... or any of the other military ports that surround my city...

I'm wondering where all of the Russian ballistic subs are? Are they parked off USA? Uk? Mediterranean? All of the above?
ciscoxing626
Show the damage all the British and American Trident missiles and minuteman 3s would do
ToasterDent
Better make the same map for Moscow then too, they wouldn't be attacking goat herders.

I'm in the " death by third degree burns section of this meme" and I'm quite OK with it.
ThePolarMole
Well I'm fucked if it happens. Maybe I should travel to the Winchester and take the advice

Parents always said not to worry. Close enough to Central London to die instantly

Russia is basically over, isn't it? This is like having a World Family Dinner and Russia just took a shit on the table.

Technically, at THAT distance, close enough to incinerate?

Not quite the same, but I remember the moment when I decided that the rest of my life is too short to ever drink skim milk again.
IDriveAMinivan
Yep. The evening of the 2007 tube and bus bombings, my now husband got a bus home from work. I flipped out. He said he has to get home &
IDriveAMinivan
That was that.
afsdpckapjadfkasef
Like that's when you married?
IDriveAMinivan
Sorry it was 2005 when the bombings happened but Yes actually. We got married 2 weeks later when he joined me in the US.

scarlovski
This is awesome thank you.
Gingerwithsomesoul
What would Hitler have done if he had nukes? Putin will do the same.
iquestionthepinappleeveryday
Ironically, he likely would have used them on Russia.
Gingerwithsomesoul
Knowing he lost he would have lobbed them in every direction.
TotallyNotTheNSAGuys
Well, he lobbed his brains in every direction, anyway
Gingerwithsomesoul
Yes and if he had nukes he would have set the last on off under his feet.
Prowler2142
The average device you can reasonbly expect to be on a missile from Russia is probably 800kt. It is unlikely they put anything larger than 1
Prowler2142
a single megaton because you start running into size constraints. As long as your further than 5Km from such a bomb, your odds are 2
Prowler2142
actually not that bad. You want to be indoors and hunkered down like you would for a tornado. Close your blinds on your windows and pop 3
Prowler2142
your phone into the microwave. Also unplug your microwave. The most likely causes of death is the high pressure wave, and the heat. 4/end
PianoMan2112
Neat. Gives me an idea: Build a giant microwave and hide in it. Skip the window. (Do they still sell metal screen windows, or just fabric?)

Hopefully still worth something :/
Monkeynutsjoe
The entire russian oligarchy launders its dirty billions through London. If anything, right now that's the safest place on earth.
TheAngryMarineBiologist
Yeah, I imagine most of the EU capital cities are in much more danger. Berlin, Paris, Rome, Amsterdam, Warsaw, Madrid, Budapest etc
iriepuff
Plus more than a billion in Central London property
Monkeynutsjoe
And let's not forget their paid for Tories sitting in Parliament.
cosonfused
those are expendable. You can always get a new one. Kinda like a goldfish.
Monkeynutsjoe
True, they're pretty cheap. Not like when you're shelling out for a US Senator.

“The Winchester” probably isn’t in Winchester- isn’t it named for the gun? Wiki says SOTD is set in Crouch End, which is inside the zone.
TLakes
MithridateEupator
Clearly ""The Winchester" is behind an extradimensional doorway and actually is located in Winchester. Winchester, Virginia.
Senninriki
I thought it was filmed in Wells? South of Bristol?
Targe0
It might have been shot in multiple locations. Wouldn't been uncommon.
cunninglinguist85
That was Hot Fuzz
brusten0
It may well have been. But apparently his job is at crouch end, and he seems to live relatively nearby (by nuclear weapon standards)
BeerandCats
You're assuming 1. The missile would get up in the air 2. The missile would hit its target 3. Would actually explode upon impact
beachbum273
Look if there's one thing that I am 100% certain the Russians have maintained properly its their nuclear arsenal.
literallymike
It actually crossed my mind that they launched and it MASSIVELY backfires. It's not exactly improbably...
TheIceHorse
Also terrain features
AK90
Russian weapons brought to you by Hammer Industries? xD
flamedance58
Don't forget the fallout.
NotAPervert
Putin’s military advisors talking to him
sfbiker
I'm not going to assume that Russia's nuclear arsenal is as bad as its land military apparently is.
CleverGroom
It's not the thing you can assume, given the consequences if you're wrong. They've been actively developing new missiles and torpedoes too.
realscrumpysteve
Judging by how poorly they've been doing i wouldn't be surprised if evety scent spent on their military was spent on the upkeep of ICBMs
modus0
I'm going to hope it is bad, but still be concerned that it isn't.
StrokerAce27
So they launch 200 nukes (each an order of magnitude more powerful than Hiroshima) And only 2 work. That's still millions of people dead.
YourUserNameIsWittierThanMine
You know they have a space program that routinely puts payloads in orbit right? Remember the USSR beat the US in most space race categories
astrangehop
The USA put the first American man AND the first American woman in space.
getreckedscrub
And the ussr put the first human in space , what are you getting at ?
astrangehop
That's how our textbooks are written. There's just a picture of Sally ride. Yuri and Valentina don't even get a mention. That's the joke.
PTNLemay
It's a lot of assumptions presuming it won't. Let's err on the side of caution and avoid nuclear war if we can help it
Toffeeaccident
Either they wont work in which case lmao. Or they do work and I only have to care for however long they take to reach me and ashify me.
DeeDoubleYu
Y'know I was considering being reckless with my cache of nuclear arms, but you've really turned me around.
Eiladar
That's one of the problems with nukes; it could be miles off course and, if winds and tides are right, you still can be just as screwed.
Eiladar
It will just take longer and be a lot more painful.
ThatWeirdClownfishGuy
Nukes don’t impact anything, actually. They explode several thousand feet in the air. The shock wave is what’s really destructive with them
Heffe3737
Not necessarily. Depends on if it’s a ground burst or an air burst.
Rimbox
idiots like this stating lies, Nukes can be Ground or Air detonation, Air detonation is just way more devastating than ground
ThatWeirdClownfishGuy
Calm down dude it’s not that serious.
Nether91
How are the impacts of city-wiping nuclear arms not serious tho
bigbigbilly
I thought 500 ft was the sweet spot?
ThatWeirdClownfishGuy
It might be. Fat Man and Little Boy were 1,870’ and 1,650’ up at detonation, respectively.
bigbigbilly
Hmm. .maybe the tests were 500. It would make sense that the bigger the explosion the higher there are
NacLac
The point is that if Russian armor is that bad, will the nukes even function?
GreaseMonkeyOfLove
Thats the one thing the USSR did not cut corners or underbudget on, and used a lot of stolen US designs.
RackhamTheRed
They did a shitload of atmospheric tests to demonstrate in the past. You want them to start again?
c64masterrace
ICBMs need regular maintenance, the warheads might be operational, but is pointless if there's no missiles to deliver them
Mordeths
Russia just successfully tested their missiles on the 19th of this month.
NacLac
How many years ago was that? You are talking out your ass if you think nukes don't need more maintenance than a tank.
LetAllYourAngerOutOnMeIDontBite
you dumb as fuck if you think russia doesn't maintain their nuclear weapons lmao. that goes for any country with nukes actually
RackhamTheRed
1990 I think. They do. You think that dildo wouldn't love to demonstrate if challenged on the validity of their deterrent internationally?
Fluffometer
Well, that's me gone then. Imgur I bequeath you my collection of 18th century velvet socks
Hammertulski
As a collector, in fact the one who has the famed Hawking Stockings, I accept.
NirvanaNik
Are they crusty to the point that they stand up on their own? Cause if not, it's a deal breaker.
KansasComrade
Something tells me they’re not gonna make it, either.
lurkerthatoccationallywantstocomment
I live 30 minutes from a naval base. I would like to offer up my really crappy stamp collection from when I was a kid

You’re so British I read “that’s me gone then” as a possessive “it’s mine” than a that statement.

OuchYoureonmyhair
Because they don't make velvet socks anymore. How else ya gonna get them?

He's English.
GerberLegalTeam
You might want to go ahead and mail them ahead of time, just in case. Don't think they'd survive the blast.

I feel like they'd probably not survive the blast
TacoPoweredHelicopter
They are velvet.
jeeeps
You saw that they’re velvet, right?
Spootanany
Lmao that makes em pretty damn durable eh?

Nukes didn't exist in the 18th century so they won't be affected.

Maybe a bit. The good news is vaseline helps your heal faster.
