do you get off on the weird "terrifying"? if it don't make you cream for your joe, what the fuck does it do for you? hammer some nails into it -
2020-02-10 at 12:30 PM UTCThe most powerful nuclear bomb is 100mt. That's 100 million tons of TNT.

2020-02-10 at 12:32 PM UTCexactly 100 million? or give or take a bit. got pics of this thing nude?

Originally posted by Technologist Yeah, I bet we’d never see that one coming.🙄
On 9/11, they had planes flying into buildings, and even the Pentagon itself, and 20 minutes later they still had no clue what was going on and hadn't even responded. And these same clowns are going to shoot down a single plane flying at 50,000 feet? -
2020-02-10 at 3:13 PM UTCThey were fucking planes, until that day no one in the US gave a second thought to a plane flying by.
A plane carrying a bomb that big? Get real for once spectral. Our radar would catch that 100s of miles away. -

If you had a bomb that big you'd just pay to get it delivered.
To someplace like the MoMA in Manhattan. -
2020-02-10 at 3:34 PM UTCYup, you’re showing a somewhat similar bomb going off, I’m not denying that a bomb could go off; I’m saying it wouldn’t get that close to our shores without showing up on our radar.

2020-02-10 at 4:09 PM UTCRussians would just ship it with fedex overnight delivery. Wouldn't have to clear customs, just hit the shores and detonate. Or transport it by suicide submarine into the harbour. So of course even N. Korea has the means to deliver a bomb to America.
Originally posted by Narc who's cities? British cities were destroyed by the Luftewaffe, and then they barely destroyed even an 1/8 of any of our cities.
What you're all talking about is siege situation which would happen over many months. You couldn't destroy a town or even a large village in just hours or a few days using artillery..
British cities were never destroyed. They were bombed yes. Heavily? Hell no, by contrast they were almost all left untouched compared to German or Russian cities.
Rotterdam was destroyed by the Luftwaffe,
Berlin was destroyed by a combination of everything, including lots of artillery.
Howitzers are not for direct fire, though may be used as it. Almost any cannon can be used for indirect fire. Artillery, depending on the context, doesn't have to be indirect fire.
The amount of explosive force dropped on German cities was way higher than the atomic bombs in Japan. -

Originally posted by MexicanMasterRace Don't have time to look into it but there's a site with a map that shows you the blast radius of newer nukes. You could definitely knock out most of the UK with one of the newer ones. We've advanced a lot from simply destroying one city in the last 60-70 years. A no holds nuclear war today would be absolutely catastrophic. Billions could potentially die and we could definitely irradiate huge chunks of our planet.
No they can't.
That's media scaremongering giving you those ideas.

That's pretty much what I said. It was others saying british cities were destroyed and its also exactly what I was saying about artillery too. It was bonkers bennt that was saying otherwise.

That's greatly exaggerated. The blast area would cover only 6.4 square miles. What you have circled there is the total shockwave that it would cause. Manhatten itself covers an area of 33.58 square miles.1. The Tsar Bomba

On October 30, 1961, the USSR detonated the largest nuclear weapon ever tested and created the biggest man-made explosion in history.
The blast, 3,000 times as strong as the bomb used on Hiroshima, broke windows 560 miles away, according to Slate.
The flash of light from the blast was visible up to 620 miles away.
The Tsar Bomba, as the test was ultimately known, had a yield between 50 and 58 megatons, twice the size of the second-largest nuclear blast.
A bomb of this size would create a fireball 6.4 square miles large and would be able to give humans third-degree burns within 4,080 square miles of the bomb's epicentre.
