@Mikey correction, in the ionosphere

a nuke in space is equivalant to a CME

It was before you returned home and changed it to not sound like the colonials.

Not space

yes, it's based on the JTAC report

For this reason nukes are detonated not just above ground, but at a yield-based altitude, the higher the yield, the higher the altitude

but the deployment increases the delivered yield

nothing to do with JTAC

Canadians do sound apologetic in everything

I just watched a bunch of canadian shows

It's aboot time we apologized, eh?

this is physics from 1940s

Even their most antagonistic interrogations sound apologetic!

JTAC is the organization responsible for the testing, deployment and assembly of our nuclear deterence police

yes

Honestly even I can't understand 30% of Scots

and that's modern

im telling you the science and reason for airburst at altitudes

@Coolitic It is more of a "a-boat" and not "boot" the way they pronounce it

ther are the ones that did the testing and assorted deployments and determined the nomenclature

there's a limit of efficiency both close to and far from ground.

Thats not what JTAC is

lol

a warhead's nuclear yield is not the same as it's blast yield

I am a phonetic nazi

Pardon my spergness

it's based on the deployment

you should just od on NyQuil in my medical opinion

@ManAnimal i think u got the org wrong

which is significanly reduced if deployed differently

Americans are too happy to use z

the nuclear yield IS the energetic mass equivalent output by the reaction

Plan Z!

cause it is the damn soil displacement that causes the fallout problem

US need to flex even when there is no need to flex whatsoever

Meanwhile

otherwise the ground absords most of the blast if it is detonated at ground level

I'll be safe in my bunker

They have a flex-based economy
