I gathered some possible targets for Soviet missiles bound towards Japan during an early 1980s setting. This is based on 1983: Doomsday and Protect and Survive. - Aomori
- Fukuoka-Kitakyushu corridor
- Greater Tokyo Bay Area (Tokyo Metropolis, Saitama Prefecture, Chiba Prefecture, Yokosuka Naval Base)
- Hakodate
- Hamamatsu AB
- Iwakuni
- Kagoshima
- Kawasaki
- Kobe
- Komatsu AB
- Kumamoto
- Kure Naval Yard
- Kyoto
- Maizuru
- Misawa AB
- Morioka
- Muroran
- Nagano
- Nagasaki
- Nagoya
- Niigata
- Okinawa (Naha, USMC bases, Kadena AB)
- Okayama
- Osaka
- Sasebo
- Sapporo
- Sendai
- Shimonoseiki
- Shizuoka
- Shunan
- Toyama
- Tsuraga
- Yokohama
- Yokota AB
Based on these target lists, the USSR's strategy is to destroy major cities to decapitate the leadership and possible relocation sites, industrial and economic centers, both US and JSDF military bases, civilian airports, and civilian seaports since these offer the ability for retaliation. The more this would be done since Japan is pointed like a dagger towards the Soviet Far East. |

The military bases and major industrial centers are given target list. Japan would have suffered far worse than Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined. |

The Soviets would also try to sever the GIUK gap as it their only access to the North Atlantic. 〈insert pop-up content here〉 |

That's why so many WWIII novels have the Soviets seeking to seize Iceland to weaken the barrier as well as it becoming an air base for them. There is another way, especially since just about everybody hoped/expected such a conflict to be short, by getting as many subs as possible pass the gap and into the Atlantic before fighting started. However of course such a sub surge was something NATO looked out for and would take as a prominent warning sign of a probable attack.

However of course such a sub surge was something NATO looked out for and would take as a prominent warning sign of a probable attack. I remember in World in Conflict (2007), it was mentioned the Soviets took over Iceland and the U.S. Marines were launching an amphibious assault to retake it for NATO. |

 Targets in the ROK in 1983: Doomsday. Targets in the Korean PeninsulaRepublic of Korea:- Busan
- Daegu (includes USAG Daegu)
- Camp Red Cloud
- Chinhae (nearby U.S. naval base Commander Fleet Activities Chinhae)
- Gangneung AB
- Gunsan
- Gwangju
- Incheon
- Jungwon AB
- Kunsan AB
- Seosan AB (Seosan)
- Seoul (includes Yongsan Garrison)
- Pyeongtaek (Camp Humphreys)
- Osan AB
- Wonju
- Yeocheon AB
There are some smaller U.S. Army camps located in South Korea but these do not really offer anything of significance aside from support that would be considered marginal. Hence I deduced the Soviets would not waste a nuke on it.
Democratic People's Republic of Korea
- Pyongyang
- Misc. artillery, AA, air bases, and naval bases

Guam is definitely going down in smokes. Houses B-52s and B-1 Lancers as well as the U.S. Navy's Ohio-class SSBNs. An OP from Guam had this to say for a separate Terminator thread:  Source: basenation.us |

The DEW Line in the Arctic Circle would also be targeted no doubt.  |

A bit surprised that Lhasa is on the list as I didn't think the Chinese had that much of a military presence there other that what was needed to keep the Tibetans suppressed. Might you I think by some measures Tibet is majority Han Chinese due to encourgement of them to settle there.
Suspect there is a hell of a lot more targets in China now, for both the US and Russia I expect given how much its economical and technological as well as military strength has expanded since 83.
