An Old Favourite - Nuclear Attack

[comanighttrain]

I'd think about where they were most likely to drop the first bomb and then head for there.
After all, who'd want to survive a nuclear war?

you'd rather be dead? I'd rather live. Think about it...atleast if your alive you can still chug.

Surviving the initial blasts outside of the circled areas would appear to be fairly easy, presuming you have a few weeks supply of food and water stored. The months and years following would be the testing time, when all the animals, crops and water supplies have been contaminated.

For those who may be interested in nuclear survival you should read the Nuclear War Survival Skills book. I personally found the chapters on nuclear radiation and how it can affect us and shelter building particularly interesting.

well most of the highlands look alright, so i would head to the nearist forest infested area and put my bushcraft skills into practise

Why did they nuke Lands end? Didn't the Russians like the Westcountry shopping village?

hello,
I've been reading through some of these older posts of interest.
'Hard Rock' 'Square Leg' Exercises I took part in these. Strathclyde Region
(as was) didn't participate as then it's claim was a 'Nuclear Free Zone' &
there were no casualties
All it would have taken was one non nuclear warhead fired directly into
RN Faslane (peace camp ) & let the West Coast weather do the
remainder.
After 1990 there was an exchange of Soviet Union Military with NATO (UK)
I met a few of these guy's, they were brain washed, you mention the map of
Glasgow circled targets, when they saw the place it was way off the mark to what
they were told, if they knew what the truth was they would have thought twice about
directing their nukes at Glasgow their words.
BTW they loved our C-Rations I'm sure they were gifted with a crate for the journey home.
I've got a few photo's on file from the Cold War era including the 10 Ton Tel Cruise
Transporters in action & when they came to the UK Greenham Common (bit of nostalgia)
Regards
David

see that really thick area of circles in scotland?
I'm in that Glasgow is a high population/densite/value target, as is Faslane and the nearby
army facilities....

Hey up,

You mean they wouldn't have bothered hitting it?

[David_JAFO]

hello,
The way these guy's were talking (Brain Washed) I don't know about
second thoughts, but when given orders to do something when it comes
to a scenario like so, doing your duty comes first, in their case for the
'Mother Country' I doubt they would have openly questioned the orders anyway.
Remember this is in uncertain times 'Cold War' they're just oridinary Joe Crows
the same as any other Countries Armed Forces doing their duty.

David

I've got a few images of these taken with the support Coy 'posing'
memories of 'Cold War' service

Ps. Phew it did work. Image I copied from my photo album
for a mate way back 2008 (I think it was?) during an exercise 1984?
deploying these 10 Ton Tels. RAF Regt 'posing' with US Support Units deployed
for protection. Tels armed with 'dummy' rounds.
