Educational Model Only. Nuclear rings are rough airburst-style approximations, not a forecast. Real effects vary with burst height, weapon design, weather, terrain, shielding, and visibility. Conventional rings here are schematic local-effect estimates only. For deeper modeling, compare against NUKEMAP and Glasstone/Dolan reference data.

Scenario Notes

Missile defense outcomes are uncertain
Public sources describe capabilities and test results, not city-specific interception percentages. This app does not estimate a real chance of penetration.
Nuclear rings
These are simplified reference radii chosen to stay in the same ballpark as classic airburst-effects tables, not exact weapon outputs or local casualty predictions.
Conventional rings
The hypersonic and cruise overlays are deliberately schematic. They show relative local blast footprint, not verified warhead-specific or target-specific damage contours.
Use this as a visual explainer
If you want a defensible estimate, treat NUKEMAP or primary effects tables as the reference and this page as a simplified front end.
This panel avoids hard probabilities on purpose. The public record is not precise enough to support them responsibly.
