The potential lifesaving effectiveness of the Soviet CD program is not a matter of unanimous agreement. However, several studies estimate casualty rates as low as two to three percent of the Soviet population in the event of nuclear war.25 Table I provides a Summary comparison of CD-related factors between the U.S. and U.S. S. R., including some apparent perceptions of U.S. and Soviet leaders concerning their CD programs.26 This divergence in emphasis and perception may have an impact on U.S. national security strategy

At this particular interview, Major-General Keegan produced thousands of photographs, pamphlets, and "open-source documents" on Soviet military sites and civil defense projects in proof of his assertions upon these matters. In the words of Major-General Keegan: "American strategy is premised on the principle of war avoidance, while that of the Soviet Union is premised on war winning . . . The difference is a profound one.

In the interview he said quite categorically that he believes Russia has already achieved military superiority over the U.S.
He spoke of the astonishing civil defense measures which have been developed, and continue to be developed, in the Soviet Union. He stated that 25% of all Russian factory workers are in training programs preparing them for civil defense leadership roles. Major defense manufacturing facilities in Russia have been dispersed well clear of all existing major industrial areas so as to afford a large measure of protection for those industries in the event of nuclear war. Keegan alleged that he was in possession of ample evidence to show that the Russians are in the process of building up huge stocks of foods and grains, in preparation for war. He said that all the evidence points to the fact that the Russians are not merely aiming for superiority but are "preparing for war. . . ." Evidence available quite openly in Russia, contained in Soviet literature, shows that already the Soviets have constructed enough mass-shelters in key strategic industrial areas to protect More than sixty million from nuclear attack. Bunkers have been provided for the civilian population in all main cities, including several which are the size of football fields. "My collection team." said the Major-General. "have identified grain-storage bunkers the size of several football fields on the perimeter of all main cities, guarded by the military -- the most elaborate of their kind in the world. We are observing the most extensive peace-time war preparations in recorded history. . ."

The proof is overwhelming.
Nakasak, Hiroshima. There are numerous documents, that show the treatment of people and their survival rates of those who were in direct contact with the area.
Pull up your browser, and search for Chernobyl, you'll find cameras and links to "thriving life" there.
The biggest fear, currently is Fukushima ... because it is a proof of concept. It's an enormous fallout, bigger than Chernobyl ... and magically, all the people of Japan are still alive.

If the missile, especially the electronics and guidance system can be destroyed before it reaches the programmed detonation point the payload will NOT explode.

Because having an anti-missile shield defends against retaliatory attack which is the whole purpose of MAD. Now that if one side has a missile shield MAD is not gonna work. I wonder what the US would say if Russia lets say planted missiles in...Oh I don't know Cuba.
But, don't put it beyond the russians and the west, to already have come to a deal over this. Basically, this shield is useless against the Russians. They already have weaponry capable of overcoming this ...

What about the other thousand after that?
What happens if who ever is attacking, launched missiles at the anti-missile shield FIRST, and then send their nukes flying?
