Nuclear attack in the next month?

Not really that much. Read about megatons released during atmospheric nuclear test in sixties.

I have, thankee very much. There's a reason most tests were made in the Pacific; whereas some places in Russia are still glowing to this day.

Read about Islanders having green snow and a Japanese fishboat that happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
 
Uuh yeah, 5-10 megatons is beyond snukes. We're talking ICBMs. I think the US would have better check on this than a silly little dirty bomb.

The russians tested bigger bombs. Sucks for the fishing boat and the islanders. Really sucks.

5-10 megatons is the average weapon in the US arsenal(don't know about the Russians.). Yes that means there are about 8 - 10 on each mirv and there are thousands of mirvs. Their about the size of your average conventional bomb with a fireball radious of 5 - 8 miles. Detonating 3 - 5 miles above ground prevents alot of contamination turning your every day dirt into the crackling dust we all know and love as fallout. And an added bonus! It destroys much much more!

According to the individual on the radio show all six nukes were capable of 50 megaton.

The US does not have a better handle on where their nukes are thats the point. Somehow, six nukes (later revised to 5... What someone cant count?) were misplaced onto a B52. Where they later sat on a tarmac for 10 hours before being discovered. It takes an average of 30+ people to check off on transporting nuclear missals yet... This happened.

Hence the conspiracy. If that many people were to check off on this, then clearly there was a plan behind that. On top of that things fall into place like the Vice Presidents nuclear attack drill that is going down in a month or so... Similar exercises involving airplanes crashing into buildings were happening during 9/11.

So some folk connected the dots... And this is what they came up with. I say, not to far off from what could happen.

I'm saying a 5 megaton weapon would cause thousands of fallout-related deaths if detonated on a populated latitude. The massive Tsar bomba and Castle Bravo were detonated in places far away from civilization exactly because of that, with the latter irradiating thousands of people due to a miscalculation in fallout range.

5-10 megatons is the average weapon in the US arsenal(don't know about the Russians.). Yes that means there are about 8 - 10 on each mirv and there are thousands of mirvs.

Wrong. The most powerful nuclear weapon in the United States' active arsenal is the B83 nuclear bomb, up to 1.2 megatons yield. ICBMS have 300~500kT warheads, or MIRVS. And no, there are no "thousands" of those, 1979's SALT II* set a limit to eight warheads per missile.

Detonating 3 - 5 miles above ground prevents alot of contamination turning your every day dirt into the crackling dust we all know and love as fallout.

I seriously doubt a terrorist organization would have the means of detonating the weapon at such altitude.

Hell, I seriously doubt many things in this paranoid scenario. I doubt anyone stole that weapon, There are no 50 megaton-capable single nuclear weapons in service, the only 5 Megaton capable nuclear weapon would be the sum of warheads in the Minuteman ICBM or the Trident SLBM. Try hiding it under your coat. I doubt anyone has the means of delivery of said weapon, and lastly, I doubt it's that easy to ignite.

So, some folk got hold of a crack pipe. Get real, people. :D




*1993's START II was supposed to severely limit the number of allowed operational ICBM's, but the Russians withdrew from it one day after the Gringos withdrew from the Anti Ballistic Missile treaty. Go Gringos! Now they want to put antiballistic missiles in my backyard, angering the Russkies and turning Poland into a primary target.

The Russians aren't really trying to be peaceful either, though.

Sure they are! I just know they will work things out with Canada... :roll:

Good info Wooz!
