Abstract

A computer program for nuclear weapons effects on targets, called VVM, is described in detail. A collection of graphs illustrates how the probability of defeating the target depends upon weapon yield and precision, as well as the hardness of the target. As an example, the destruction of an armoured brigade using nuclear weapons is discussed.
