Of course not, you are saying a 20 kt nuke can destroy a normal-sized city. I'm saying no.... Hiroshima / Nagasaki would not be considered "cities" today. They are only a few miles in diameter.
Beijing urban area is like what 60 km in diameter at least. Do the math as for how much you need.
Wrong, three or four nukes launched on Shanghai or Beijing can completely obliterate it. I am not considering the after effects like radiation here that will stay and make the place un-inhabitable.
There is a reason why all the real superpowers have multimegaton thermonuclear weapons!!!
Wrong again.
Megaton nukes were required in the era when delivery systems were not fully developed. Its not the case now. For example the CEP of Agni 3 (which can comfortably reach Beijing or Shangai) is about 50 m.
The US and Russia both use standard 400 kT nukes in their ICBMs and fyi no one exactly knows what is the capability of the Indian nukes.
Not intentionally, but obviously relations will get really bad before India tries to attack Three Gorges. By the way, I'm saying this purely as hypothetical.... in reality India is far far away from that ability as Bangladesh Air Force is from air-strikes on New Delhi.
Lol....go into your safety cocoon kid and dont come out.
