Depends on yield and height/depth of burst. If subsurface also depends on material around them (soil, rock, water). Effects equations are not easy to solve and are highly empirical based on data from actual tests along with alot of interpolation and extrapolation where data did not exist.

How far can nuclear missile travel?

Nuclear missiles can travel thousands of kilometers, with some intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) capable of reaching targets on the other side of the world. The exact range depends on the specific missile and its design.


How far and fast can nukes travel?

Nuclear missiles can travel intercontinental distances, with ranges varying based on the specific type and design of the missile. In terms of speed, nuclear missiles can travel at speeds of several kilometers per second, depending on the missile's propulsion system.


How far can a nuclear bomb travel?

A gravity dropped nuclear bomb could fall several tens of thousands of feet from bomber to detonation. A ballistic missile's warhead could travel tens of thousands of miles from launch site to detonation.


How far can nuclear weapons travel?

Gravity bombs, or bombs that fall straight down to the ground, are immobile and must be dropped by a bomber aircraft. Some ballistic missiles may travel for about tens to hundreds of miles, while larger ICBMs (intercontinental ballistic missile) can travel up to thousands of miles in a sub-orbital spaceflight.

How are nuclear weapons destroyed?

The only way that how are nuclear weapons are destroyed that these anti-nuclear working group stay together and work together to get these powerful nuclear weapons destroyed. It's possible to destroy nuclear weapons but it is a very hard and dangerous job. Want to know how nuclear weapons are destroyed? These people work as a team by staying together, they also disable nuclear missile launching systems to prevent the nuclear weapons from being launched. They work very carefully to make sure that the nuclear weapon cannot make wide explosions. They destroy the missile very carefully so that the missile cannot make very huge nuke explosion. They also stop nuclear bombs from being dropped by making sure that the bomb is destroyed but they have to place something to destroy the nuclear bomb and they must be very careful because nuclear missiles and nuclear bombs are very powerful. There should be a time bomb to destroy these weapons and don't let these weapons create big explosions. If there is then they place the time bomb on nuclear weapon, they also have to move very far away from the weapon to make sure that they are safe and can't get killed. To destroy nuclear weapons, these nukes have to be sent very far away from the city or from the town so people can't get killed by the nukes.
