So what would happen if they launched a nuke or two and it fizzled?
“So what would happen if they launched a nuke or two and it fizzled?”
Fizzled on the way, or fizzled when it was supposed to explode?
Also, what is the impact if only 33% of their hundreds of missiles work properly and the others just harmlessly fall in the ocean?

Don’t know about the Rusky nukes, but a couple of ours falling from B52 refuelling altitude look pretty much intact with the exception of a little denting.
A friend of mine at the Naval Research Lab with experience in the USNS Thresher search was scheduled to join the search for two H bombs which had fallen into the Mediterranean. The Navy required a number of shots to do any foreign travelling. He flunked the shot test and didn’t make the trip. Some kind of allergic reaction.
A few years ago while visiting my older brother in Albuquerque we were roaming the outside yard of what used to be the Atomic Museum. It was near quitting time and the docent came to chase us out. Being a technical type talking to two technical types, this started to take a while. When we were moving through the main building to make our exit, I looked down and saw what the writing indicated were the two Mediterranean H bombs. They were approximately the size of a human. I assume they took the insides out, but there was no obvious sign of that. Soil impact may produce larger dents.
