Guys please I want to know how nuclear war can affect Africa. Am asking this question because Ive in some many publications were they said nuclear weapon can wipe the entire earth and humans in it.

I read in one article that USA nuclear war head is more than all the bombs in world war11

I also watched one secret documentary ,the project blue book" were an alien captured around 1964 said a man condemned international will cause nuclear war which the after only a million of our kind will survive, that's why am asking to know more about this nuclear stuff

Sorry,do you mean if it was targeted at Africa or the effect it's gonna have generally?

yes the effect generally

Is Africa a name of person?

There are many variables that need to be taken into consideration when calculating the effects of a nuclear blast. Terrain and type of bomb, nuclear or thermonuclear, and size of the warhead in terms of kilotons or megatons. This should help you in understanding the different effects of an atomic explosion.After explosion, existence is no more forever. No return.
Damage comes from the intense heat created, along with the blast effects that break things. An additional effect is the atomic radiation that is released- but that generally causes little or no damage to property.
The largest ever nuclear explosion (a weapon test) would demolish any building within about 28km. I’m referring to the RDS-220 AKA “Tsar Bomba” tested by the soviets in November of 1961.

Keep in mind that It takes several nukes to destroy a large city. Depending on how you classed destroyed. For reference it might take the entire UK's active nuclear arsenal of 40x W-76 warheads to utterly destroy Tokyo. It would take 5–8 Tsar Bombs to utterly destroy a city like New York City.

The damage can be unimaginable.
Is that understood?

Very well understood.

In my opinion…
If a nuclear war between the East and West happen, I’d expect all US bases be nuked, and that includes the ones in Africa too. Nuclear fall outs that will easily spread across the rest of Africa due to the poor state of our borders. That is a direct effect.

Indirect effect; survivals from East, West may likely move to Africa if Africa has less direct effects. So I’d expect influx of people from around the world from worse affected areas to less affected parts of the world.
Nuclear fall outs will most definitely affect all the water, especially pacific and Atlantic.

In the end, directly or indirectly… we will all feel the impact of a major nuclear way between East (Russia, China and allies) and West (US and allies)

I pray we never get to this level before the world decide to get rid of nuclear weapons.

We are not part of their nuke war.
