# BALISTIC V5.4 — From Artillery to Global Nuclear Simulator

Since my last article,
the project grew from a simple artillery simulator into something much bigger.

What's new in V5.4

🌍 CesiumJS 3D Globe

Missiles >500km automatically switch to a 3D globe view.
ICBM trajectories follow a geodesic great circle path over Earth's surface,
with animated flight, glowing trail and apogee marker.

☢️ Nuclear Physics — Glasstone & Dolan (1977)

Every nuclear warhead now has realistic blast zones calculated from the
publicly available US government publication:

Fireball: r = 100 × W^0.41 [m]
Heavy damage (20psi): r = 290 × W^0.33 [m]
Light damage (5psi): r = 690 × W^0.33 [m]
Burns (1st degree): r = 2200 × W^0.41 [m]

Example — Sarmat (750kt): fireball 2.7km, hazard zone 145km.

🌬️ Radioactive Fallout

Wind-direction elliptical plume with 3 intensity zones.
Avangard HGV gets air-burst correction (3-4× reduced fallout).

💣 Cluster Munitions

Realistic elliptical dispersion pattern aligned with flight azimuth.
Iskander-M: 54 submunitions in 200m ellipse.
ATACMS: 950 submunitions in 500m ellipse.
