Russia has a current total inventory of ~5500 warheads. Of these, >1000 are retired warheads awaiting dismantlement and ~1500 are tactical or defensive (e.g. ABM warheads). Of the <3000 warheads for strategic use, over half are currently in reserve but I'm happy to ignore that.
Not all of these warheads will work.
Most will be airbursts, producing very little fallout.
Even in a countervalue strike, many will be concentrated on military targets and some (primarily SLBMs) are likely to be held in reserve.
The most common weapon is the SS-27 Mod 2 / RS-24 (Yars) with an estimated yield of 100-200 kilotons, we'll go for the upper limit of 200kt. That's a 5 psi overpressure radius of 2.55 mi (~20mi^2) and a dangerous thermal radiation radius of 3.72 mi (43mi^2) although in reality the damaged area would be even less, large concrete buildings attenuate the blast. You could drop one of those on Soho and Harlem wouldn't suffer worse than broken windows (and rioting nigs).
Russia doesn't have enough warheads to hit every urban area in the US even once, never mind the places like NYC or LA which would require multiple strikes. And of course Russia is also going to have to strike targets across Europe and many of our military bases across the planet. They might even want to fling a number of missiles at the Three Gorges and Beijing to prevent their ''ally'' helping themselves to Siberia in the aftermath of our retaliatory strike.
The chance of being outside the damaging radius is potentially very high depending on where you live.
>>you are already at your house
>Gery god damn low chance
At least 8 hours a day, nigger.
>You have enough water capacity to supply 1-1.5 gallon per day per each person for 3-4 weeks (do the math on that - it isnt fun).
In most areas you will be safe to leave the shelter by 48 hours and by two weeks, even heavily irradiated areas will be relatively safe.
