Actually, the track for the Urbana warhead probably would have to pass within the arc of one of the HANDFUL of Spartan sites. Spartans are basically the same as a Nike, but newer (from the 1970s W00T!). They've got one at AFB Offutt in Omaha, so it would be a long shot...
For those of you without advanced hypersonic anti-ballistic warhead missile systems defending your city, your best bet to keep Mr.Nuke from turning everything you know into a disfigured example of nuclear fury is a thunderstorm.
"What?" you say, "A THUNDERSTORM?"
correct: a warhead re-enters the atmosphere at 15 THOUSAND knots. While they are HEAT RESISTANT, nuclear warheads are rather flimsy devices and slamming into hail and ice inside a thunderstorm is going to rip the sucker apart to the point were it has the destructive capabilities of a car that fell from space.
PS: here's something you might not have known that i find amazing.
Fairly high up on the list for a TOTAL GLOBAL ATTACK on the Russians (i.e. the "All in One" attack), were such Allied cities as London, Paris, Berlin, Geneva, and Brussels. Yes, the US planned on nuking allied capital cities.
