| Chazore said: I'd honestly go for heavy ground weaponry (bunker busters/artillery/rockets/MRBM) than resorting to nukes, mostly because nukes would irradiate the area and destroy the land, making it both a pain in the ass to clean up the radiation and to make use of what land is left (though the radiation and blast/fallout damage would make using the land more difficult of a task). |
Actually nukes are not that bad in terms of radiation contamination like in games such as 'Fallout' would imply ...
Hiroshima and Nagasaki are examples of atomic bomb targets yet their still habitable to this very day but if we take a look at Chernobyl or Fukushima which had Nuclear Power Plant accidents that involved reactor meltdowns the locals needed to evacuate ...
An atomic bomb has small amounts of fissionable material compared to nuclear reactors which have thousands of tons of fissionable material so nukes are relatively safe to use for their low radiation contamination ...
