[olli]

I didn't get a "Russia is bad" drift from it. It was just a fictional invasion based durring the cold war era.


Creator once asked why americans are fascinated with invasion. I think its because its never happened in modern history.

Most invasion settings will be Russians or Aliens simply because the cold war was the last time American's felt any kind of fear that it was possile.

i was joking...but i think the clear the skies by the ZSU-23-4 was exaggerated.

[for russia!]

Farther of all bombs video:

[for russia!]

what is he saying?

[Creator]

Full translation:

There is no data on when and where this video had been recorded. There is no even explosion sound. Just a "restricted" mark only. You are the first people with no secret permition who saw the world most powerfull vacuum bomb test.

Alexander Rushkin, Russian armed forces general staff second-in-command says:
-Developed aviation munition test results show that it was comparable with nuclear weapons by its power and destruction capabilities. At the same time I want to underline that this munition impact did not harm ecology and did not pollute surrounding environment.

Explosion happens in air. The cloud of incendiary mixture explodes. Basic damage is caused by supersonic shockwave and incredibly high temperature. Everything living gets just vaporized. Ground is more similar to lunar landscape after explosion. But there is no chemical neither radioactive pollution. Department of defense underlines that this weapon development did not break any international conventions. Russia does not start second weapons race. American air forces had the most powerfull vacuum bomb before. It was named "Mother of all bombs". Russian developers named their bomb in this manner too - "Farther of all bombs". This bomb does not have a designation yet. Just a secret code. It is known that its explosive substance was significantly more powerful than TNT. It had been reached by using special nanotechnologies.

Yuriy Balyko, General director of Department of Defense 30th Research Center says:
-It allowed to lower precision requirements. Hence, reduction of cost goes from here. It is the very property we need today. So, we've got very cheap munition with very high destruction capabilities.

Russian bomb surpasses american analog significantly by all parameters. Explosive mass is lower, but bomb was 4 times more powerful. Temperature in epicentre is 2 times higher. Farther of all bombs surpasses Mother many times by destruction area too.

The table:

Explosive mass:
MOAB: 8200kg
FOAB: 7100kg

TNT equivalent (explosion power):
MOAB: 11 tonns
FOAB: 44 tonns

Destruction area radius:
MOAB: 150 meters
FOAB: 300 meters

Alexander Rushkin, Russian armed forces general staff second-in-command says:
-It will allow us to provide our state safety and at the same time withstand international terrorism in any situation and in any region.


PS: Sorry about possible gramatic mistakes.

I also heard in TV news, that some Russian military experts suggest it's even more powerful than Hiroshima Nuclear bomb.

[Pendaelose]

I think Creator may have meant kilotonns. Hiroshima was only about 45kilotons or so, so its very believable that it may have been stronger.

[for russia!]

can we see this in contra?

[Creator]

No. Not kilotonns. The smallest world nuclear charge is 0.02 kilotonns (20 tonns). Its nuclear artillery shell. So, this bomb is comparable with it.

[Capt.Drake]

Well when I heard it on the news it was like a nuclear bomb, I was stfu cause well most airdropped ones are in the kioton area, but an arty shell okay, but that's a shell and no bomb^^

[partyzanPaulZy]

No. Not kilotonns. The smallest world nuclear charge is 0.02 kilotonns (20 tonns). Its nuclear artillery shell. So, this bomb is comparable with it.

Where is/was it supposed to be used? I thought, Nuclear artillery is fictional.
So, one day I should hear, atomic grenade isn't only joke.

Nuclear artillery shells were developed in the 1950s. NATO deployed several in Europe to defend against Soviet invasion. They were tactical weapons intended to destroy tank columns and the like. I doubt we could make a nuclear grenade, but suitcase sized nukes have been built.

Here is a youtube clip on the subject.

thats so fake its not funny.
