Without revealing your target cities (perfectly understandable - even now) I assume that assets such as factories, broadcasters were targets and not just general entire city areas?
I realise that in itself may be an even more sensitive question to ask - but wonder if you can talk in generalities.
Most people without detailed knowledge would assume that because a nuclear weapon is so destructive, you just need to target the general area - i.e. an entire city, rather than a specific part of it, or feature, or building.
I ask because when working at TV Centre in London, I had always assumed that it would have been at the centre of a smoking thermonuclear crater from a Russian Warhead if anything had ever happened (although some of you may think that might not necessarily be a bad thing)!
