You are correct, in my hurry I posted a bad pic, my apologies, but it still doesn't mean that the result wouldn't be bad on a global scale.

The worse part is that is what you are hung up on, not the massive casualties and nasty that will ensue.

The only really confirmed death toll they could ever come up with from Chernobyl was about 67 fatalities, and that includes the people who were at the site when it melted, the soldiers who shoveled away material from accident, and the helicopter pilots who hovered over the melted reactor.

And, as everyone else has been pointing out, there were LOTS of nuclear tests back in the day.

Then explain the increased radiation signatures from a semi contained even like Chernobyl.

Instead, lets say a limited exchange ground/air burst event numbered at about 20 medium yield devices.

Prevailing wind currents, dust and particulate spread, and continuing fires.

Who told you a burning exposed 1000 megawatt reactor was semi contained?

Far more fissile material is loaded into a power generation reactor than in a weapon.  The daughter nucleotides in a reactor that has been running for a long time are probably far more dangerous than fallout.

Air burst weapons produce less fallout.  Chernobyl happened once, the national test site saw dozens  of above ground tests....in the continental US....upwind of most of the population. I'm not saying its harmless but it's not armageddon.

The "propaganda" from that area (near Chernobyl) blames every health problem imaginable on radiation, in attempts to get foreign aid.

Nobody has any illusions about casualties or how bad it would be, welcome to 2019, people are used to seeing war in HD on their IPhone... people posting memes on an Internet forum rooting for war is the Internet equivalent of “the sky is blue”

Worry less about stupid shit other people is all I can tell you, or stay out of GD all togehter, it’s really simple.

The only reason people would talk about particulate from a nuke is because it's likely radioactive.  California wildfires produce far more particulate every year than a bunch of nukes would.

Those upgrades keep them from being mere targets.
To put this into perspective, in the Vietnam war, MiG-21 were creaming bomb laden B-52’s and F-105 thuds.
F-4 Phantom’s on the other hand were murdering them after the addition of an onboard cannon. This is with the MiG-21 flying over friendly terrain, with ground control, and SAMs and AAA to pen the Phantoms in.

When the MiG-21 came out, they were very good planes. Their time in the sun ended a long time ago. It’s intake design is a evolutionary dead end, greatly hindering availible radars. It bleeds energy like an arterial bleed turning. Avionics upgrades can’t fix that.
You can only upgrade a gen 2 jet so much.
When you see reports of how surprised western pilots are, that is incomplete.

A better way to put it is that Western pilots are surprised that a late 1950’s design have a snowballs chance in hell.

There is a reason India is phasing them out, and they are considered their 3rd string fighters.

With only 18? F-16 C/D models, the F-16A is effectively Pakistan’s front line fighter.

It is very bad for them that India’s 3rd string are going tit for tat with their first string.

Pakistan has closed their airspace to commercial flights.  The charter flight from Bagram to Kandahar then Dubai got grounded in Kandahar yesterday and is rumored to be returning to Bagram with all PAX this morning.

Routing a flight plan through Iran is iffy at best because last time that was tried the flight was forced to land and held for 13 hours on the tarmac in Iran.

I'm scheduled to fly from Bagram to Dubai this Sunday but it's looking pretty doubtful that will happen.  Hoping the idiots in charge over here make the right call.  Which would be to say fuck it and fly us to Istanbul and let us catch commercial commercial flights to CONUS from there.

However management here lacks the ability for critical thinking.

The closest air Base hosts MiG-21s,this is the easy answer. Said MiG-21s have been upgraded about as much as they can be so they are at least on par and mostly superior to the bulk of the Paki AF which is still old Mirage IIIs and Vs and Chinese MiG-21s.

India has been trying to replace the MiGs for a while but they're India and decided to piss time and money away on the Tejas and blow the opportunity to produce both the Mirage 2000 and Rafale because they wanted France to take responsibility for aircraft they had completed,hopefully the US isn't this stupid when it comes to F-16 production or F-21 if they stick with calling it that.
