I don't think they'd care considering the massive retaliation that'd be imminent from the americans. Besides, the EMP would probably knock out their shit beforehand anyway.

I think he means they'd still be in the blast radius
Nice edit.

I know. i mean that they wouldn't really care that they were doomed(Or wouldn't notice) Because america would be minutes from nuking the fuck out of russia and vice versa.

Then why are they doing this in the first place if they don't have a plan to win?

That's why we don't do it though. From what you've explained for the backstory of your screenshot you acknowledge that the characters portray know there is no point in surviving the bombing because of the sequence of events they start leading to destroying their own country.
It's still a good screenshot. It's just sort of funny that you're making it sound like their line of thought was: "The Americans have pissed us off one too many times. Let's destroy them, but they'll destroy us also. We acknowledge that." It's not rational thought <_>

That thought would not occur to an airman in a bomber. Bottom line is that you should have tried to find a picture from higher up... or even better, just used a picture of some clouds from above because a nuclear bomber would be flying at something like 30,000ft.
Regardless, the picture is okay although the background photograph is much lower contrast than the foreground.
To my knowledge nuclear bombs are dropped from planes with actually a parachute attached, so the plane can get out of the blast radius before it impacts.
