I believe that everyone must not be like this Russian-Ukrainian war as a scene of personal experience, under the modern means of communication, the video of the cruise missile passing over Ukraine after the launch, and even the live broadcast has been seen, all kinds of news media are like snowflakes, people can not believe that the war has really arrived!
Does Ukraine have nuclear weapons?
On December 26, 1991, the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union passed a resolution announcing the dissolution of the Soviet Union, 15 member states restored their sovereign status, the nuclear arsenal of the former Soviet Union was divided into four, Russia was the most vast territory, so the number of inherited nuclear weapons was also the largest, Followed by Ukraine, Kazakhstan again, Belarus the least, at that time in order to ensure nuclear deterrence capabilities, all intended to preserve the nuclear arsenal, but the only one who really persisted to the end was Russia!

How big was Ukraine's nuclear arsenal?
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine inherited 176 intercontinental missiles (capable of carrying 1240 nuclear warheads), 42 strategic bombers (carrying 336 nuclear warheads), and hundreds of tactical nuclear weapons on its territory. This scale makes Ukraine the third nuclear power in the world after the United States and Russia.
In addition to the five permanent powers of the nuclear-weapon states (South Africa has decided to destroy in 1990, in 1993, Israel is a suspected possessor) suddenly added 3 nuclear-armed countries, as the sole superpower the United States is restless, after all, these newly established countries, political instability, people are not happy, once nuclear weapons fall into the hands of terrorists, it will pose a great threat to the world.
How did Ukraine go from being the third largest nuclear-weapon state to a non-nuclear state?
Therefore, under the leadership of the United States, on May 23, 1992, the five countries of the United States, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan signed a protocol in Lisbon, Portugal, and Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan will destroy all nuclear weapons in the next seven years.
On January 14, 1994, Russia, the United States and Ukraine signed a tripartite agreement on the destruction of nuclear weapons in Ukraine in Moscow to agree to Ukraine's requirements, after which Ukraine began to destroy silos in its territory, transporting 1,300 nuclear warheads and more than 600 cruise missile warheads to Russia, and on October 30, 2001, Ukraine destroyed the last SS-24 intercontinental ballistic missile silo in its territory. Ukraine officially became a non-nuclear State.
Ukraine's abandonment of nuclear weapons is not only what the United States is willing to see, but also what Russia most wants, after all, no one is willing to be a neighbor with a nuclear power, but the United States may not think that if Ukraine has nuclear weapons this time, then Putin must not dare to drive so long, of course, another result is that if Ukraine still has nuclear weapons, the United States cannot be so deaf!
I don't know if Ukraine has regrets about abandoning nuclear weapons, but one thing is certain, the United States was also very serious about the nuclear abandonment agreement, so Ukraine did not have nuclear weapons!
What if a nuclear war breaks out? How powerful is the Tsar's hydrogen bomb?
The Tsarist hydrogen bomb is the most powerful nuclear bomb in human history, the explosive power equivalent is 58 million tons, but the design of the hydrogen bomb charge is 100 million tons, but the former Soviet Union really can not find a place that can test such a powerful, so the charge is halved, that is, the design power is 50 million tons.
Hydrogen bombs and atomic bombs are relatively different, the biggest difference is that hydrogen bombs can be almost unlimited power, and atomic bombs due to their structure and cost limitations, its power rarely exceeds 500,000 tons equivalent, while hydrogen bombs use lithium deuteride as a fusion charge, and can be multi-stage tandem to form three-phase bombs to N phase bombs of unlimited power hydrogen bombs, such as the United States has designed a theoretical model of 1 billion tons or even 10 billion tons of hydrogen bombs, but it has not been implemented.
Three-phase bullet structure
The power of this hydrogen bomb when it explodes is too great, here is a reference to the description of the power of the tsar bomb in the Russian version of WIKI:
1. Flashes of light can be seen more than 1,000 kilometers away, and have been observed in Norway, Greenland and Alaska;
2. The exploding nuclear mushroom rises to an altitude of 67 km, the diameter of the upper layer is estimated to be 95 km, the diameter of the lower layer is about 70, and the cloud layer can be observed 800 km away from the explosion site;
3. The shock wave of the explosion generates a crustal seismic wave (the tsarist hydrogen bomb is an air explosion), which surrounds the earth three times;
4) Atmospheric pressure waves from the explosion were recorded 3 times in New Zealand (almost on both sides of the globe);
5. The window glass of the house about 780 kilometers away from the explosion village was broken by the air wave;
This power is too terrifying, the following is a simple calculation of an absolute killing range, the formula is:
Effective kill radius = C. explosive equivalent^ (1/3)
Radius unit: kilometer, C is the coefficient: 1.493885, blast equivalent is 10,000 tons
The power of the Tsarist hydrogen bomb is 58 million tons, so the calculation result is: 26.84 kilometers, about 53 kilometers in diameter range is the absolute killing range, beyond the will suffer a fatal blow, of course, with the farther the impact is smaller, to 780 kilometers away can only break the glass.
What will happen after the nuclear war?
In fact, there is an unproven "nuclear bundling" strategy, simply put, after a destructive nuclear attack, the retaliation of a major country will be an indiscriminate attack, what does it mean, that is, nuclear weapons have long been preset targets, and these targets are global political and economic centers or important industrial cities, port cities, etc., the whole world is destroyed together, and no country can reap the benefits of nuclear war.
It looks horrible, but there is never any evidence that it exists, but everyone keeps speculating! So there is no winner in nuclear war, so how can nuclear war survive the end? This is divided into several stages, one is pre-war preparation, the second is how to survive the nuclear bomb explosion, and the third is post-war survival.
Pre-war preparations:
Doomsday shelters, you should have seen, the United States has a lot of Cold War missile silos have been converted into doomsday shelters for sale, there are complete ventilation and filtration systems underground, there are energy and power supply systems, as well as years of food reserves, there are also a variety of drinking water filtration and treatment, can make a family stay at home for several years.
The cost of this level of shelter is very high, I believe that most friends are at most a lively, and it is remarkable to build an emergency reserve warehouse at home.
What should I do if I have a nuclear bomb explosion?
There are three ways to kill a nuclear bomb explosion, the first is light radiation and early nuclear radiation, the former is the speed of light, which will directly burn the skin and eyes, the latter is extremely high speed, will damage DNA, no warning can not be avoided, only the third shock wave can be avoided.
If there is a hill or slope nearby to avoid, then lie down facing the explosion heart, if it is flat, then the northward burst heart will lie down, and the shock wave will be transferred to the upwind immediately after the shock wave, because the dust after the nuclear explosion will drift along with the wind, leave the nuclear explosion area as soon as possible, change clothes and take a bath as soon as possible after being contaminated with radioactive dust, etc. If there is a mask, wear it immediately to avoid inhaling into the lungs and causing internal irradiation.
The most difficult thing is to survive after the nuclear explosion
Is the radiation high? According to the test results of the Tsar bomb, the radioactive pollution of the experimental field with a radius of about 2-3 kilometers in the blast area did not exceed 1 millilengen / hour, and the tester appeared at the explosion site 2 hours later, the radioactive pollution was almost no danger to the test participants, and the nuclear radiation level of the hydrogen bomb explosion was really not high.
More terrible is the nuclear winter, if there is really a global nuclear bombing, then the future may really form a winter, may last for several years, if the nuclear explosion detonated the Yellowstone volcano in the United States, it will be even more tragic, the next few years may appear summerless year, this is too terrible, it is estimated that the global population will be massively reduced.
Just talk about it, you don't have to take it seriously, after all, Ukraine does not have a nuclear bomb, this nuclear war cannot be fought!
