I was looking at this the other day, and was wondering how nuclear weapons would actually be targeted against the US. Would they be aimed at city centers or nearby infrastructure? Would each city be targeted with one warhead, or blanketed with several over a large area?
Because if there's a full-scale nuclear war, if the Russians only target the center of my city, I probably have a chance of surviving. However if they target the civilian airport (where there's also a small ANG presence) or use multiple warheads for the metro area, I'll probably be vaporized.
Obviously I know no one posting here can answer definitively, since I'm asking about some of the toppest of top secret stuff.
