How Long Before a Nuclear Missile Strikes the US — Analysts Weigh In - video Dailymotion

Buzzline

Experts in defense and nuclear safety have analyzed the travel durations of Russian nuclear missiles aimed at key American urban centers and military sites. The simulation 'Plan A' from Princeton's Science and Global Security Program examines how a limited nuclear conflict between NATO and Russia might spiral into an all-out nuclear confrontation, estimating 34.1 million immediate fatalities and 57.4 million injuries during the initial stage alone. With Russia undertaking its largest nuclear drills in years and having 2,600 active warheads, specialists are revising survival protocols for Americans on actions to take in the moments following a nuclear alert.

00:00If a Russian nuclear missile launched right now, how many minutes do you have?

00:04Defense experts and the Princeton Science and Global Security Program have the answer.

00:09An ICBM launched from western Russia reaches the U.S. east coast in approximately 30 minutes.

00:16Submarine-launched missiles can cut that to as little as 12 minutes.

00:20Princeton's plan, A simulation, models what happens next.

00:23A limited nuclear exchange escalates to full-scale war, killing 34 million Americans in the opening phase alone.

00:31Russia has 2,600 nuclear warheads deployed and ready, confirmed by U.S. Strategic Command just two months ago.

00:39Russia just ran its largest nuclear drill in years.

00:42This is not a hypothetical.

00:45Understanding your timeline is the first step in survival planning.

00:48The time to know this is before the alert sounds.
