>want to test effects of nuke radiation on satellite>stick it in a tracked box>put it over the borehole of a underground nuclear test>set off the nook>quickly close the entry hatch after the radiation arrives, but before the shockwave does>drag it away before the crater formslol the Cold War was awesome
>>64443237>the Cold War was awesomeI wish I could have lived then. It was a better time in so many ways.
>>64443702according to my parents, the 70s were a miserable time
>>64443717The '80s--and probably the '50s, although I can't speak for that personally--were the best parts. The late '60s and all of the '70s were apparently pretty much garbage thanks to the commies and their supporters/sympathizers.
>>6444379570s weren't so bad thanks to commies, although they kept being rowdy after losing the election for some time but rather due to arab countries successfully boycotting the oil market, causing a fuel crisis.
>>64443237>drag it away before the crater formsWhere did they mount the rocket engines on that thing to move it so quickly?
>>64444009Dunno, but they managed to get it out in time
>>64444009The ground doesn't start to crater immediately after underground test.
>>64443237Why did they bother attaching and painting a fucking shed, though?
>>64444056Probably for guys to work in during the preparation.
NOOK OOKWhat blew up this time?
>>64444009The substinence crater didn't form until 23 minutes after detonation. Plenty of time for the electric winches (supplied with power from the high-tension lines seen in photos at that shot site) to pull the test chamber back to safety.
Man if there was ever a place to do the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Challenge, that test site would be it.
>>64444086Dude I haven't been to /k/ in a while.The war really did make the bots here weird...
>>64444086false flagging jeet/ruslim angrily trying to discredit everyone who makes fun of ruganda.
>>64443237amazing
I hope LANL still knows their stuff, I worry we're fucking up something with the modern no-live-testing nukes
>>64446689*/LLNL/Pantex and whatnot
>>64443237So the US performed many tests that were of the scientific and other exploratory types, but did the Soviets? My two page DDG search didn't show much detail.
>>64444176TIL
>>64446999239 of them.
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN
>>64446303FTFY.
>>64448170
>>64443237Very clever but I just can't get over the corrugated metal shack on the side of it.
>>64449094That's the Love Shack
