Nothing. Its Game Over for Humanity. There is no salvation, and there is no defense. Even if by some miracle 50% of all nuclear munitions were intercepted, the 50% that got through would be more then enough to destroy the world multiple times over. There have been great strides in the field of nuclear interceptions since the beginning of the Cold War, but even in the most widely optimistic of estimates, no technology, defense system, or weapon can intercept enough nuclear warheads to prevent cataclysmic damage and destruction of the human race. For the United States for example, which has invested trillions into ballistic missile defense, they admit that they would only be able to intercept a handful of targets or prevent a limited launch from a smaller country like the DPRK. But against an arsenal such as Russia’s, or China’s, they admit that they would be able to do absolutely nothing.
Also, the entire purpose of SSBN submarines is that they are impossible to defend against or preemptively strike. Coupled with the fact that almost all modern nuclear munitions are MIRV based, and therefore carry multiple warheads that are next to impossible to intercept.
Like the AI WOPR said, “A strange game… The only winning move is not to play.” There is no winning or defending against a nuclear war
In the case of nuclear war, what are the actual defense possibilities?
