While the war between Russia and Ukraine, which has killed thousands of people, continues, the world is closer to a nuclear war than ever before. While fearing the existence of nuclear weapons, which developed countries have been working on for years, the question ‘What happens if there is a nuclear war?’ The answer to the question has been given scientifically before by Princeton University.
A study by Princeton University Science & Global Security simulated what would happen in the world in the event of a possible nuclear war between NATO and Russia. The simulation, shown in a video released in 2019, produced mind-blowing death figures. The four-minute video was prepared according to the ammunition that the US and Russian forces could target and use.
More than 90 million people could die from explosions alone:
4-minute simulation created with the most up-to-date nuclear weapons data of its time showed that more than 90 million people could lose their lives as a result of a possible nuclear war between the two countries. Moreover, this number was limited only to deaths from explosions. Deaths from nuclear fallout and the long-term effects of nuclear bombs were not included in this calculation.
The fear of nuclear war had already begun with the fear that a new world war might break out with Russia’s entry into Ukraine. But the other day, it was learned that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian Nuclear Deterrence Forces to be on high alert. Therefore, this fear has now increased a lot.
So what would happen if Russia dropped a nuclear bomb and started a nuclear war?
