Know it sounds stupid, but what if you made a pulse weapon that renders nuclear weapons by causing the core to destabilize slowly to the point where it can't be used? Can that exist? If it did, it can no doubt be shrank. (Take a look at computers for example, they used to be big but are now compact and portable)If so, could nuclear warfare be mad obsolete in the future, if someone could fire a pulse from long range to disable enemy nukes?
>>62898582>fires pulse at your nuke plant>blackouts your gridNothing personal and it will continue once a day until deemed unnecessary.
considering you are too stupid to even have the right vocabulary to discuss this: yes actually. for a while MIRV interceptions were planned to use neutron warheads to make the plutonium in the pits change phase and not function properly. you can't really make a neutron beam in the sense you are thinking, though, the optics aren't possible..
>>62898582>could nuclear warfare be mad obsolete in the futureProjects like Brilliant Pebbles already had that kind of capability in mind towards the end of the cold war. I'm no expert on launch vehicles, but to my layman eyes they seem to have improved a ton since the 90s, and something like SpaceX's starship project would make getting all those little satellites into space far cheaper than when it got cancelled.
>>62898582That's stupid. Just turn off the atoms in the nuclear missiles as they fly towards you.
