    Look like 8 and 12 were for the same target. Obviously old footage. Looks like it's from from the 1980's when we were still using video tape. Damn. We were good. The Soviets and Chi-Coms NEVER had a chance against us.

    This was a Reagan era propaganda piece to get more military funding. US nuclear forces were never this vulnerable. Even if this scenario were real the surviving ballistic missile subs would have completely destroyed the USSR.

    good movie, though more than enough subs at sea shouId have survived. even 3 subs would have launched 48 missiles with 480 warheads. sadly, counterforce would be useless since most missiles were launched. this is not counting NATO response. overall i doubt we would have surrendered. 8 million dead, more like 50 million from radiation

    Worked at US Army Kwajalein Atoll (aka USAKA) from 92 to 96. It was awesome to think that this is the only place in the world you can watch nine nuclear warhead re-enter the atmosphere and talk about it the next day. re-entry was three missiles went deep ocean, three went into the lagoon, and three were land impacts.

    12 RVs. 2 targeted at the same spot. Obviously exactly where aimed as it was the center of camera focus. That's an ICBM launched from thousands of miles and moving about Mach 25. Incredible. Typical warheads for the 12 RVs are 350KT. Each is a city killer.

    In 1995 a friend of mine who was stationed in Kwajalein told me about this. It sounded almost unreal. It must have been amazing to see in person. The same friend told me the next day engineers and scientists would visit the targets which were just concrete pads with a large “X” painted in the middle. Sometimes there would be a hole about 30 feet from the X and some engineering cursing while was saying something like “I thought we fix that problem!”
