Is that actually the case? I'm certainly no expert on nuclear weapons, but I know a nuclear detonation is a very mechanically tricky thing to pull off.
The primary portion of the bomb (the fission initiator) requires literal nanosecond-scale precision to work properly, so no. I never worked on any nuclear ordnance, but I would say even dropping the thing on the floor slightly while moving it would require a full teardown and inspection.
It's the same thing with abortion, US libs cry about fleeing to EU for muh 'bortions not realizing that most EU countries are WAY more restrictive than any state in the US.
It's the "stealth" theme. I sometimes browse KF at work.
There are so many weapon systems in play it's hard to know for sure.
I don't think it would, just based off of declassified records. Some nukes have gone through amazing levels of shock and not detonated, including being dropped from high altitudes, catching on fire, and airplane crashes
I’d just say that some are pro Russia just because Reddit and the check marks are pro Ukraine.
I'm not going to spend hours looking for the source so you can take this with a grain of salt, but I remember reading about nukes that had been adapted to detonate once launched if a sudden disruption occurs to them like that of a defense system once they've been launched. Although, I'm not aware of any defense system that can stop ICBMs and I think American foreign policy would be very different if there were.
It'll be just like my Fallout games!
We have GMD. Which has been tested. Not sure how many ICBMs we can realistically shoot down though.
last year here in bulgaria US troops on training raided a civilian olive oil factory and held staff at gunpoint. turns out map reading and common sense are less important than correct pronouns in american military.
Even if for whatever reason the impact triggered the explosive surrounding the core, the non simultaneous explosion would cause the core to deform and fizzle rather than compress and reach full bore criticality.
china might sort out the unemployment, homelessness, and trooning. let them have a go
It's not only that they don't want to waste shells, though that is a big factor. There's literally no benefit to bombing a hospital in Donetsk Oblast on purpose for Russia since they want to incorporate Mariupol into the DNR.
Not to mention you could bypass like half of it by not just blindly going through all the portals and instead jump off the pipeline, make a beeline to the generators (the glowing orbs in the distance), climb the ladder and enter the portal here. Would skip half the enemy spawns too.
