☢️ Task Force 141 — nuclear winter ☢️

Soot and darkness: due to massive fires, millions of tons of soot will be released into the stratosphere, which will block 90-99% of sunlight. The long polar night is coming.

Abnormal cold snap: Temperatures will drop by 15-40°C in different regions. In areas of active impacts – up to -20 °C or -30°C.

Duration: The nuclear winter will last about 10 years. There will be much less precipitation, and severe droughts will occur.

Radioactive contamination: In addition to soot, millions of tons of radioactive dust will rise into the air. Infection in the impact zones will persist for centuries.

Diseases: Due to weakened immune systems, unsanitary conditions and ruined medicine, serious epidemics will begin.

ACUTE RADIATION SICKNESS

· 1-2 G (Mild): The survival rate is ~90%. Symptoms: mild nausea, vomiting on the first day, followed by "imaginary well-being" for 2-3 weeks. A month later, a decrease in white blood cells, weakness.

· 2-4 G (Medium): The survival rate is ~50% without treatment. Symptoms: severe vomiting after 1-2 hours. The hidden period is 7-14 days. Then alopecia (hair falls out in clumps on the 14th day), hemorrhages in the mucous membranes, infections.

· 4-6 G (Heavy): Mortality is ~100% without bone marrow transplantation. Vomiting with diarrhea after 30 minutes. The hidden period is only 3-5 days. Then hemorrhagic syndrome (blood from gums, eyes, intestines), complete destruction of immunity, sepsis.

· >6 G (Extremely severe): Death in 3-7 days. Damage to the central nervous system and gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms: loss of coordination, seizures, uncontrollable bloody diarrhea, dehydration.

INTERNAL CONTAMINATION (INCORPORATION)

is when dust gets inside with food, water, or air. The symptoms appear for years, but they destroy specific organs:

· Iodine-131: Hits the thyroid gland (after 2-3 months - hypothyroidism or cancer). Treatment is only taking stable iodine in the first 6 hours after the explosion, then it is useless.

· Strontium-90 and Caesium-137: Replace calcium and potassium. They settle in bones and muscles. They cause osteosarcomas and leukemias after 5-15 years.

· Alpha emitters (Plutonium, Calcium): Once in the lungs, they cause fibrosis and inoperable lung cancer in 2-3 years.

Vegetation: All vegetation in the Northern Hemisphere and the tropics will die. All fruit trees and vineyards will freeze out. Dead forests will become a source of new fires.

Animals and crops: Many animal species will die out from cold and hunger.

Mass starvation: The main threat is not radiation, but starvation.

• An electromagnetic pulse will disable all electronics and power grids.

Destruction of infrastructure: Cities are destroyed, roads are blocked by several meters of snow, which will make movement and logistics almost impossible.

Resource wars: The struggle for heat and food will begin, attempts may be made to "warm" the Earth with new explosions.

Rollback of civilization: Only 10-50% of the population will survive, society will be thrown back in development for 20-50 years.

BONE WOLVES.
Origin: Stray dogs and wolves.

Appearance: Bald, skeletal, with unnaturally long limbs (compensation for muscle loss). The muzzle is disfigured by osteosarcomas — the jaws are curved, fragments of teeth protrude from the mouth, the skin is covered with scabs and fibroma.

Behavior: They are not afraid of light, they hunt in packs. Because of the constant pain and hunger— they are rabid and cannibalistic. The victim is not bitten, but torn up immediately, eating alive.

Danger: Saliva contains bacteria from rotting tumors — any bite can cause sepsis in 24 hours.

Protocol: If you see it, open fire from a distance, do not come closer than 50 m. Burn the corpses.

BLACK RATS
Origin: Rodents resistant to radiation due to rapid cell division.

Appearance: The head is enlarged, the incisors grow continuously, bending, piercing their own lips. The eyes are red due to retinal hemorrhages.

Behavior: Nocturnal, in huge colonies (up to 500 individuals). They attack the sleepers, gnaw through tents and ammunition. Their bites are not radiation-related, but they cause Lassa fever.

Protocol: All stocks should be stored in airtight metal containers. If a colony is found, call artillery or pour poison (chlorpicrin). Vaccinate personnel with hyperimmune serum, if available.

BLIND BIRDS

Origin: Birds with mutated lenses - cataract. They lost their sight, but instead their hearing and vibration became hypertrophied.

Appearance: The eyes are milky white or missing. The feathers have partially fallen out, leaving bald spots, and the skin is bluish.

Behavior: They circle the camps in flocks, focusing on the noise. They swoop down on shiny objects (like magpies) and open wounds, pecking at meat alive, mistaking the smell of blood for food.

Danger: Spread radioactive dust in the feathers. If such a bird falls into the water, the well is infected.

Protocol: Keep weapons with silencers, avoid loud noises. To stretch nets in parking lots. In case of a raid, take cover, do not shoot (it's useless, they are blind).

MUSHROOM MOOSE

Origin: Deer and moose that feed on moss and lichens that accumulate caesium-137. The central nervous system is affected.

Appearance: Horns grow randomly, piercing their own eyes. The sides are covered with trophic ulcers, from which ichor oozes.

Behaviour: They are apathetic, stand like statues, but when a person approaches, they are suddenly attacked at breakneck speed (short circuit in the brain). They don't feel pain.

Danger: Meat is radioactive, 200 g causes acute radiation sickness. A hoof kick breaks bones even through a bulletproof vest.

Protocol: Walk around a kilometer. If you need meat, shoot only at the head, take only the muscles of the hind legs (there are fewer isotopes there), but give the fighters iodine preparations and absorbents.
