Third wave was the target level of nuclear capacity. That's the theory that waves one and two would be destroyed mostly or completely.
So having enough missile to enable three waves of attack on a target was what usa and Russia relied on. Overkill somewhat.
Until usa realised that Russia had no detection radar over the pole as it had been sold off by the incumbent army in siberia for vodka and women.
Most of the minutemen silos in usa are now survival shelters and empty.
Britain keeps a trident submarine off Murmansk to keep Russia in check.
A nuclear war is likely to be a 100 percent extinction event and that's probably what happened to Venus as far as I'm concerned.
Radiation would not kill all of us. But nuclear winter would.
