In this chapter, we put the analytical tools of our model to work describing a major U.S. attack on Russia’s nuclear forces. The attack scenarios use land-based and sea-based strategic missiles to deliver between 1,124 and 1,289 warheads with an explosive yield of between 294.9 and 320.6 megatons. The ranges represent low and high levels of targeting against Russian strategic naval and aviation sites. This is a type of attack that has traditionally been an option in the U.S. SIOP. At times it was designated MAO-1, for Major Attack Option-1. This chapter presents NRDC’s approximation of that kind of attack, which we will call Major Attack Option-Nuclear Forces (MAO-NF).
