Pretty sure both Boston and Montreal would be hit so we’d be dead pretty quick no matter what.

if you detonated the largest nuke "in use" right now in Montreal or Boston, it wouldn't touch most of VT.

If you detonate one on every millitary target that would have been high priority during the cold war the state would be fucked though

for sure. In an all out nuclear war, the F35s at BTV are probably a secondary or tertiary target for ICBMs as it'll take out camp Johnson too. this'll seriously diminish US capacity to intercept bombers and other aircraft coming in from the north and hamper ground response around the region.

Those cities are far away, we're well outside of the damage radius, and radioactive fallout wouldn't be a huge threat given the prevailing jet stream direction would take it away from us for the most part.

Nah but early warning bases in vt, a few millitary manufacturers. The silos and burlington woulf be hit. Most of the state would be fucked

Those silos have not been used since 1963 or so, targeting them would be just a waste of a MIRV.

Honestly Vermont is a stupid safe place to hide from a nuclear war.
Unless you're in Burlington :)

We are actually a really big target. Tons of early warning bases, chip manufacturers, MIC manufacturers and silos. Im a nuclear war our entire state would probably be vaporized which is why I made that comment

I think the targets are all around the Lake Champlain area, including the bases, chips, and silos.
KI4U has an old FEMA map that shows only Burlington and Montpelier as a potential target, and there's another nuclear target map floating around on reddit somewhere where only Burlington is a major target.
Do you know of any more recent maps that might have better info?

Essex junction is an obvious target.
Luckcu13 t1_iufsjkf wrote
Yeah, with Ethan Allen and all that.
It's still in the Lake Champlain area though, I'm more curious about the areas away from Lake Champlain

I mean, Rutland still has GE right? There are all sorts of boutique fabricators across the state.
