NUCLEAR TARGETS IN AMERICA

Major Nuclear War Targets in America – Do You Live Near One?

~ Listed below are the primary nuclear targets for every state, these are places you want to avoid living or working in or Be near.

~ Keep in mind that there are also secondary and territory targets in every state that are too numerous to list. Do your own research!!

~ If you do happen to live near one of these places or downwind of them you need to take appropriate measures to protect your family.

~ You need a fall out shelter that you can spend at least 1 week inside of that will protect you from high levels of gamma radiation.

~ The best shelters are solid concrete basements of houses and other buildings. Subway tunnels and other underground tunnels facilities are great too.

RED = MAJOR TARGET

Generally you will want to be 100 miles MINIMUM from a Major Target when the bombs go off

~ Entire Washington D.C. area including Northern Virginia Suburbs all the way to the WVA line and southern Maryland are a NO-GO ZONE due to the multitude of military bases, clandestine sites, bunkers, intelligence agency headquarters, chemical/biological research facilities, and more.

~ The biggest targets by far are Malmstrom, Minot, and Warren Air Force Bases which are home to our land-based nuclear Deterrent – the Minuteman ICBM’s. These three bases and the surrounding missile fields which are spread out up to 30 miles from the bases will sustain hundreds of nuclear blasts. Expect massive fallout downwind of these areas that will contaminate a large area.

~ Other major targets are Whiteman AFB in Missouri, home of the B2 Stealth Bombers which are the air-based nuclear Deterrent. Barksdale AFB in Louisiana, home of Air Force Global Strike Command which is essentially the command and control of our nuclear forces.

~ Kings Bay, Georgia which is home to our Atlantic Fleet of Ohio-Class Subs and SLBM’s which are part of our sea-based nuclear Deterrent. Bangor, Washington which is home to our Pacific fleet of Ohio-Class Subs and Trident missile storage facility which represent a major part of our sea-based nuclear Deterrent. Peterson AFB/NORAD/Cheyenne Mountain Complex are also a major target.
