If you stand directly underneath the detonation of a nuclear warhead, you're completely safe, right?
>>65274786Yes no problem, please go ahead OP
yeah it's like the tower in Hiroshima that's still standing, it actually works as long as you have something to protect you from the initial flashThe problem is in real life you can never be exactly sure where a nuke will land so it's not something you can count on outside of "what-if" scenarios
I mean, no, but if a nuke was launched at my city and I only had five minutes, I'd rather be disintegrated underneath it than burned to shit and irradiated.
You're completely safe in any case because nukes aren't real.
>>65274866Tell that to Godzilla.
>>65274866You can visit the sedan crater, you can also visit project shoal, project faultless and if you have a boat to can visit it island that got vaporized by castle bravo I’ve been to shoal it’s pretty cool
>>65274786If it's high enough up in the air, yeah.More or less.That's the idea behind nuclear SAMs, ABMs and AAMs
>>65274915Looking directly at it isn't a great idea, tho.
>>65274915>Tell a bunch of officers and camera crew to stand underneath a nuclear explosion>tell a bunch of Marines to walk towards a nuclear explosion>the reason>¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The 1950s were a wild fucking time...
>>65274934doesn't matter much, you're gonna get bombarded with gamma rays and you can't stop them from reaching your retina
>>65274985The officers standing at ground zero were volunteers. Not the camera crew though, lol.It was all very purposeful really, to prove that nuclear weapons can be used in proximity to friendly troops.It turns out, mostly but you really shouldn't make a habit of it and some of them will probably get cancer later.Though what wasn't trying to give you cancer in a mid century military context?They're still not great about it.
>>65274990It's not the gamma, it's the UV. Getting a sunburn on your retinas doesn't tickle, ask anyone who's thought they could get away with welding without goggles.
>>65274866What about Toropets?
>>65274786The bomb would crush you, retard.
>>65275012They're far enough away the prompt radiation won't touch them and they were in and the residual radiation at the site was not overly intense. Everyone wore dosimeters and the exercise was to test/indoctrinate psychological reactions to seeing the cloud so soldiers would understand that they weren't fatally affected at such a distance and still free to maneuver. You can see from general reactions to this footage that MANY people really think you're in immediate lethal danger in such a situation. Cool read if you're willing. https://www.dtra.mil/Portals/125/Documents/NTPR/newDocs/14-PLUMBBOB%20-%202021.pdf
>>65274786>Boss has a massive AoE that can be avoided by standing right on top of ithate this unintuitive trash.
>>65275127The bombs don't detonate upon impact, retard.
>>65274915>>65274985>>65275012>high pants, high expectationshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAHHr0HsBgI
>>65274902Still radioactive?
>>65274786Yes, but you must still wear a berret.
>>65274915>>65275012Wait, for real? How does that work?
>>65275342I’m sure it’s above background
>>65274786yeah its like tornadosjust stand in the middle
>>65275352The same way being far away enough from any explosion works.Very easy with a high altitude airburst like those of nuclear SAMs and AAMs.Less easy when it comes to ground use of tactical nuclear weapons.
>>65274786It would be extremely painful
>>65274786about 1 to 1.5 km you are instantly dead from neutron pulse, plus xrays, gamma rays, and then radiant heat. You litterally just vaporise before you know something is habbening.
>>65275160>The bombs don't detonate upon impactThey have air burst, ground burst, and now delayed penetration fuses for bunkers. So, they can detonate on impact if that is the desired condition.
>>65275493
>>65274786Depends on how far underneath the detonation you are.
>>65275493Depends on the yield. You could be as close as 300 meters to a Davy Crockett detonation and still have a double digit survival chance.
>>65274902All were made by conventional explosives or meteors.
>>65275824>he believes in meteors
>>65275824so space IS real?
>>65277376They're pieces of the firmament falling down.
>>65277431Terminal velocity is not gonna do any damage
>>65277440You believe in the atmosphere?
>>65274866>nukes arent real!>well except the sun>and other stars>and some gas giants
>>65275493>hot enough the vaporize a human and a ladder>not hot enough to burn wood????
>>65277505It doesn't vaporise them, the flash bleaches all exposed surfaces, the ladder and person were in the way so their shadow wasn't bleached
>>65277505that's because they probably didn't get literally vaporized, their body blocked the radiation/light/heat and left that imprint in the surfaces behind it
>>65277487Space is as fake and gay as nukes.
