F-35: "Looks like it's my time to shine!"
instantly decapitates the pilot and crashes into an aircraft carrier
lmao, and the logic there is that 100 nukes are touching down somewhere
This is our state of the art jet fighter
Is that an n64 controller?
Do you know how expensive the dualshock patent license is?
"We can easily down Russia's nukes with our anti-asteroid rail gun... we have that, right?"
Should make them play the level in Project Wingman where the game makes it seem like you're gonna have to shoot down some incoming missiles, but then there's so many of them and they come in so fast that it's basically a cutscene of you losing.
Some nuclear weapons are still not on missiles, but are for delivering by bomber plane. All of the us b52 can carry nukes, and Russia has comparable bombers. Even some fighter jets can have a nuke on them.
Gonna start measuring out nuclear holocausts deaths in years of covid. "10-20 years of covid, in an instant! Can you imagine?"
No, wait, that would require them to give a shit about covid.
That's my addition, lol. I gotta figure out a way to make it clear that I'm adding an image reaction.
Further evidence that political satire simply doesn't work. Everybody should be forced to watched Threads once a year, eyes held open clockwork orange style.
The Day After was more effective a movie to get people to understand the gravity of this. It offered at the end no hope, no salvation, no recourses. And not in a 'everything just blows up way'. In a long slow painful sickened death. And it terrified people. And for something as bad as nuclear annihilation, that is what you need.
Doesn't Threads do the same thing? The ending follows a baby born after the bombs fall until she's a teenager and delivering birth to a baby of her own. They're living in feudal conditions tilling mud in a freezing hellscape. A generation later and buildings are still in ruin. Language has audibly degraded. And of course, the birth scene. Threads offers absolutely no hope.
I had corrective eye surgery and they used those things. I had always assumed they were made up.
In the lore of Judge Dredd, the nuclear war which devastated the world was provoked by a American president who wrongly believed that America's missile defences could stop all of the USSR's nukes.
I mean with the way cops are already militarized, they're not far off. Throw in some stupid guns and more Boston Dynamics bullshit and we're there
Alexa, how many nuclear bombs does it take to destroy the world and is it less than one hundred?
Edit - LMAO a cursory search says that about 100 would be enough to cause human extinction.

Like simultaneous? Idk how it works, there have been more than 600 detonation historically from various tests.
One has to imagine that the 100 nukes would have to be targeted at population centers
Simultaneous, yes. In most scenarios IIRC it's the nuclear winter that kills way more people than the explosion or fallout.
The premise is that they hit big population centers and completely decapitate the modern civilization.
thannkfully the british seem to be doing a good enough job of that themselves although i'd appreciate if they hurried the fuck up
nukes
easily shot down by fighter jets
what level of out of touch g*mer is this :what-the-hell:
Aren’t 6200 nukes enough to finish everyone no matter where on the globe they explode … ? That’s the premise of MAD, right?
I have seen nuclear scientists say just 5% of world's stock of nukes going off would kill pretty much all life on earth. And just 100 hiroshima sized bombs would kick up enough dust and dirt and all that stuff to lead to continent-wide crop failures that could kill hundreds of millions via famine.
dimming out the sun for mayocide
I mean, it could've been worse
Literally just exploding the bombs in the missile silos would be enough for apocalypse. You don't even need to launch them
I was saying detonatng them, not just taking another explosive and destroying them.
The premise of MAD is that while ICBMs are essentially unstoppable, they can usually be detected early enough for a counterattack to occur. So with or without the world ending it guaranteed that USA and USSR would've been wiped out.
Thanks! And said detection, could it tell whether the ICBM for sure carries a nuke?
Idk, but unlike other ballistic missiles I don't think anyone bothers doing a non nuclear weapon because you'll probably be annihilated if you launch an icbm at a populated target.
Ballistic Missiles as a conventional bombardment method exist.
But there are easier ways to get missiles to their target than launching out of a silo on the opposite side of the world.
So some icbms have mirv rockets which means it carries multiple warheads. Some of those could be decoys so the anti missile system shoot down the one with out the nuke in it.
Thanks! And I assume the hypersonic missles are even better at evading the anti missle system?
Yeah icbms go up high into space and then come down. The hypersonic missiles have a much lower trajectory so there is less time to react for countermeasures or retaliation.
Basically yeah, everywhere except Antarctica and maybe the southern most parts of Africa and South America would be gone.
blowing up 6200 nukes in the sky with my fighter jet to save the world and definitely not kill everybody :big-cool:
the baseless speculation of a man who has no scientific knowledge but who does get an erection at the thought of millions of foreigners dying is probably something we shouldn't bet the future of humanity on
Oh, no nukes really dont go off when blown up. It's quite a fine tuned process to create a nuclear explosion, and if you just hit it with a bunch of shrapnel and concussive force it'll be more like a dirty bomb, which isn't even close to the level of danger.
But thats all irrelevant because im pretty sure Russian nukes are actually quite fast and not easy to shoot down
well I was half right in that we shouldn't trust this guys advice
Eh, there's not a lot of radioactive material in an average nuke, and it's relatively inert right up until you induce criticality via high explosives. Still wouldn't be ideal, but it would pale in comparison to a Chernobyl or something.
Dropping wherever they may, contaminating the ocean if we're lucky, destroying populated places if we're not.
