if that was mixed with fuel, sure (15kt) but on its own should be a bit less (6.5kt)

“This is a ship that nobody wants, but that nobody can get rid of.”
20,000 tonnes of ammonium nitrate
i see something resembling a solution, right there
that’s how everyone does this for two years at this point, yes
slightly more refined version is crush switch, that is two thin metal shells in front part of missile. when it hits the target one deforms and makes a contact with the other one. used by, for example, french HOT-2 missile but probably many others considering how simple it is
by the end of the week it’ll turn out that pagers were made in israel and all these companies were cutouts
not when dealing with bad faith posters, no
Removed by mod
these pagers were issued by hezbollah higher-ups, for one-way communication with their hq. there’s little reason for them to sell them or even lend to family because you can’t call from this thing or communicate with it any other way because it’s receive only. civilian casualties are probably low for this reason
secretive agency does secretive agency shit
tal: how can i make this to be about mee?
don’t put plastic explosives in electronics of your choice that’d be pretty safe i guess
Israeli secret services used exploding phone previously, it’s not a stretch to assume that they tapped into supply chain of pagers and brought a pallet of pagers with a low tens of grams sized bomb inside
also lithium batteries don’t explode like that
that would be the simplest explanation, and they did that covertly, perhaps somewhere further up supply chain, yes
This already happened with phones, but that was a targeted killing:
At 08:00 on 5 January 1996, Ayyash’s father called him and Ayyash answered. Overhead, an Israeli plane picked up their conversation and relayed it to an Israeli command post. When it was confirmed that it was Ayyash on the phone, Shin Bet remotely detonated it, killing him instantly.[3]
it better be, shaped charges are probably cheapest part of it (other than chassis)
nice, now ukrainians can inspect ka-52 radar closely
but uranium has 20 billion calories per gram
you are part of the problem
Nobody should trust LLMs with anything
ftfy
also any inputs are probably scrapped and used for training, and none of these people get GDPR
This comes from a long line of shoddy “research” exaggerating potential effects of nuclear war. With MAD in place, like it was for the last 70 years, there’s no need to make shit up, it’d be as bad as it can be. At first, they tried to convince people that NOx generated in fireball would strip atmosphere out of ozone; when proven wrong with experimental evidence (supersonic airliners generate some NOx; their output was big enough that it should have some effect on ozone layer according to their model, but it had none) they pivoted to “nuclear winter”:
Although never openly acknowledged by the multi-disciplinary team who authored the most popular 1980s TTAPS model, in 2011 the American Institute of Physics states that the TTAPS team (named for its participants, who had all previously worked on the phenomenon of dust storms on Mars, or in the area of asteroid impact events: Richard P. Turco, Owen Toon, Thomas P. Ackerman, James B. Pollack and Carl Sagan) announcement of their results in 1983 “was with the explicit aim of promoting international arms control”.[91] However, “the computer models were so simplified, and the data on smoke and other aerosols were still so poor, that the scientists could say nothing for certain”.[91]
When proven wrong again with empirical evidence of oil fires of 1991 Gulf War, they shut up for some time:
When Operation Desert Storm began in January 1991, coinciding with the first few oil fires being lit, Dr. S. Fred Singer and Carl Sagan discussed the possible environmental effects of the Kuwaiti petroleum fires on the ABC News program Nightline. Sagan again argued that some of the effects of the smoke could be similar to the effects of a nuclear winter, with smoke lofting into the stratosphere, beginning around 48,000 feet (15,000 m) above sea level in Kuwait, resulting in global effects. He also argued that he believed the net effects would be very similar to the explosion of the Indonesian volcano Tambora in 1815, which resulted in the year 1816 being known as the “Year Without a Summer”.
The idea of oil well and oil reserve smoke pluming into the stratosphere serving as a main contributor to the soot of a nuclear winter was a central idea of the early climatology papers on the hypothesis; they were considered more of a possible contributor than smoke from cities, as the smoke from oil has a higher ratio of black soot, thus absorbing more sunlight.[93][101]
In a 1992 follow-up, Peter Hobbs and others had observed no appreciable evidence for the nuclear winter team’s predicted massive “self-lofting” effect and the oil-fire smoke clouds contained less soot than the nuclear winter modelling team had assumed.[118]
The atmospheric scientist tasked with studying the atmospheric effect of the Kuwaiti fires by the National Science Foundation, Peter Hobbs, stated that the fires’ modest impact suggested that “some numbers [used to support the Nuclear Winter hypothesis]… were probably a little overblown.”[119]
then came back again hoping that someone would not remember the former and believe them. Even one of authors (Owen B. Toon) is the same, they cite their old papers and use old wrong numbers. This is not somebody trying to figure out how reality works, this is somebody trying to sell you a story. That story tries to make them relevant, but they aren’t anymore, and more importantly they’re wrong
This all is also before noticing that 70s era nuclear arsenal doesn’t even exist anymore, so their predictions lack a plausible starting point in the first place. It’s horseshit start to finish
does the pope shit in the woods? stay tuned to find out!
have you tried using bleach or drain cleaner (prills; sodium hydroxide) to clean it
ceasefire has been in place for four years at this point. many syrians went to lebanon as refugees, estimates place them at something close to 1.5M. maybe some of them are going back
