There is a time for good men to do bad things.
For fuck sake, 1984 is NOT an instruction manual!

The B61, which entered service in 1968, is currently part of the US Government’s ongoing 30-year, $1 trillion project to modernise its atomic stockpile..

Re: US tests 'most dangerous nuclear weapon ever produced'
It seems like it's being called "the most dangerous" because of the variation in yield. It's maximum is 50 KT, which is low compared to some of our nukes. This could be potentially used in a battlefield situation to attack a position and not have as much environmental damage due to the low yield.

Agreed. I would've said, "The Most Tactical Nuke ever produced." But that doesn't really send you into a frothing panic like the word "dangerous."Speaker to Animals wrote:What a ridiculous headline.

Re: US tests 'most dangerous nuclear weapon ever produced'
Maybe they are saying the most dangerous because it's much more likely to be used due to it being a tactical nuke?Xenophon wrote:Agreed. I would've said, "The Most Tactical Nuke ever produced."

It's more likely to be used because it's so limited, precise, and least dangerous of them. An F-15 driver can deliver that thing spot on target.

Re: US tests 'most dangerous nuclear weapon ever produced'
Could we see something with such a low yield be employed in battle? I think the media wimps could get on board with a nuke that has such a low impact on the environment.Speaker to Animals wrote:It's more likely to be used because it's so limited, precise, and least dangerous of them.
