'''Nuclear target structures''' is part of the [[nuclear war]] / [[nuclear weapon]]s related [[List of military strategies and concepts|military strategies and concepts]] developed during the [[Cold War]] and still in use in the 21st century. They refers to likely major targets of [[nuclear weapon]]s in the event of [[first strike]] or retaliation/defensive strike.
Because [[nation]] [[state]] nuclear target structures may have changed since the end of the Cold War, it is difficult to predict with certainty what [[target]]s [[Russia]], [[China]], [[North Korea]], or [[Pakistan]] might have selected in the [[United States]]. However, targeting should be similar to what was predicted in the early [[1990s]].
[[Fallout]] patterns from a [[first strike]] upon our retaliatory [[asset]]s might look devastating.
