Most Powerful U.S. Nuclear Bomb Being Dismantled

Your point?

You must be off the wagon again. Did Dave upset you in the other thread and make you need to go on a mini rampage? Don't bust out your thesaurus on me with a painfully contrived reply.



It's no Tsar Bomba, but it would have done a decent job.

Crazy cool stuff, man. Good post.

[Darren M]

Was reading that this morning. Good stuff. Scary to know it's so close though. I mean, prevailing winds and all......

[Captain Crawfish]

gotta refuel them nukes dismantle all the weapons.

[Ruffdaddy]

I'm sure we still have some good shit! Besides...our thousands of Guided missiles and bombs are way better.

[Fern]

yep, read about this on my home page this morning.. pretty cool shit.

Not having city buster nukes is going to cost us dearly in the not so distant future.

I concur.

Matt, how dare you post a pointless thread!!!

Not sure if serious...

You know something we don't? Nothing is getting better.

Thousands of precision guided ordinance is much better than a few massive nukes that will destroy a city, kill more civilians than military, and make the entire world really hate us. While it seems like were giving up fire power, we have enough weaponry distributed throughout the world to sacrifice these bombs.

Furthermore, and this is purely speculation, I bet we have much more weaponry that is just as powerful. And I highly doubt we will trash any of the critical parts of those bombs. If anything...these bombs just surpassed their shelf life.

Why cant we "accidentally" drop one of those over Iran, Pakistan, North Korea?

Just fly an unmarked plane over one of those countries, let them shoot it down and Boom! They did it to themselves!

Because flying an activated and armed nuclear bomb is just a standard drill...lol

OK. I just watched Trinity and Beyond. The Tsar Bomba monster bomb and it's 2.3km fireball radius, not accounting for the total blast radius was pretty humbling.

Precision guided ordinance doesn't amount to shit when your opponent decides to up the ante and use city busters on your cities. Having your own city busters is what will prevent your opponent from using them against you.

Since half of the political will in this country is adamantly opposed to any sort of ballistic missile defense system what exactly do you suggest we use as a deterrent against an aggressor who is willing to kill 100 million Americans in one day? Having city busters just gives you more options in dealing with a threat.
