7 Two Trinities is a bit weird. At long range the nukes don't spend as much time inside the antinuke's actual firing range since their angle is closer to horizontal, so just firing two nukes at once can score a hit at the close edge of the antinuke's interception radius, or maybe get close enough to kill the antinuke even if the nuke doesn't hit the ground. 7 Two Trinities is a bit weird.

9 When firing multiple nukes from two Trinities at short range, sometimes the antinuke gets confused and intercepts a nuke that is physically closer but further away from impact due to the nuke missile trajectory. 9 When firing multiple nukes from two Trinities at short range, sometimes the antinuke gets confused and intercepts a nuke that is physically closer but further away from impact due to the nuke missile trajectory.

15 Behaviour of multiple nukes against multiple antinukes, and attempting to fire a nuke *beyond* an antinuke rather than at it or in front of it, is left as an exercise for the reader. 15 Behaviour of multiple nukes against multiple antinukes, and attempting to fire a nuke *beyond* an antinuke rather than at it or in front of it, is left as an exercise for the reader.
