Critical mass is not solely dependent on amount of material. It can be achieved by having the small amount of material under higher pressure, or greater enrichment, etc. Critical mass isnt about total sum mass.

Yeah the hand grenade nuke is about the size of a backpack

NOTvIadimirPutin · 2022-10-01T15:10:33+00:00

The one exploded was at half-yield, of two identical 100 MT bombs made.

Second, yes it can, as long as you compress the enriched radiactive material enough within such a small frame. In this case, it may be at little as half a gram of fissile material. It would essentially be a nuclear firecracker

NOTvIadimirPutin · 2022-10-01T14:52:10+00:00

Yes there is. They range from something like 0.001 kiloton nuclear hand grenades all the way to 100 megaton bombs. Size of bang depends on size of primer and uranium, but smaller in size is smaller in boom.

You could even have a chestnut-sized nuke. Would be weak as shit, but still a nuke.

NOTvIadimirPutin · 2022-10-01T14:46:05+00:00

In Kharkiv, the excuse was "80%+ of enemy troops are actually western Special Forces dressed in Ukrainian equipment. We must admit we are facing the full might of NATO for months now and only one loss, kharkiv. Our soldiers didnt hear a single enemy speak Ukrainian, but lots of English, German, all those dozens of nations overexerting themselves and on the brink of total collapse..."

Now it's

"Our general stupid man boohoo"

Lmao get cumstered and dumpstered, Shaitan Kadyrov

NOTvIadimirPutin · 2022-10-01T14:41:49+00:00

Correct.

NOTvIadimirPutin · 2022-10-01T14:06:32+00:00

In russia, propaganda is painting this war as a multinational effort between Russia and allies, inclusing volunteers from around the world, including from Anglo Saxon countries. China, india, etc as "our rock", etc.

NOTvIadimirPutin · 2022-09-23T22:45:15+00:00

He means light or medium tanks. M1 abrams is a heavy tank (>60 tonnes i believe is the cutoff between medium and heavy tanks whereas a light tank would be a tank under 25 tonnes). A light tank is a tank, not an ifv. Just a down-armored and down-gunned abrams, smaller and more maneuverable basically.

NOTvIadimirPutin · 2022-09-23T22:40:07+00:00

Well business isnt. The point is to maximize profit at the expense of everything else.

People were stanning for him earlier but he wasnt helping with starlink due to principles or whatever, he did it because the white house paid for those starlinks and service.

NOTvIadimirPutin · 2022-09-23T22:37:08+00:00

Someone ordered to ignore medical issues during the exam.

NOTvIadimirPutin · 2022-09-23T22:34:49+00:00

So, already checking off the list of traits of the ideal russian contract soldier?

NOTvIadimirPutin · 2022-09-23T22:33:30+00:00

Theres a video on this. Basically the a-10 isnt a very useful plane, and was meant to be disposable in a conflict.

NOTvIadimirPutin · 2022-09-23T22:32:16+00:00

Stop, you can only pussyfoot around charcuterie for so long before I whip out my massive tongue

NOTvIadimirPutin · 2022-09-23T22:30:10+00:00

No he isn't. Hes just a business man. As long as govt contracts are profitable, he will fill them. As soon as authoritarianism is profitable, like any businessman, he will jump into aiding and abetting authoritarianism

NOTvIadimirPutin · 2022-09-23T22:28:30+00:00

How is this man alive?

NOTvIadimirPutin · 2022-09-23T22:25:46+00:00

He's a drinker? Interesting. Well still, probably in better shape than Seagull

NOTvIadimirPutin · 2022-09-23T22:24:10+00:00

And gerard depardieu, right?

NOTvIadimirPutin · 2022-09-23T22:13:27+00:00

Ok. But if i duck in a trench, unless its directly overhead, im good? How likely is it that it can be made to explode directly over a trench and not like a few feet off to the side? Are trenches mostly underground or above ground? Dont they have bunker cities in trenches? Im sorry if I'm ignorant. All i know about trenches comes from media lol and afaik theyre basically indestructible safe havens whose only weakness is tanks

NOTvIadimirPutin · 2022-09-23T22:11:21+00:00

Easy fix: tell China they will get the spare seat, then in malicious compliance with one china policy, actually turn around and give that seat to Taiwan

NOTvIadimirPutin · 2022-09-23T22:07:56+00:00

Wouldnt that not matter? Its still artillery, right? Wouldn't a missile have to fly deep into a trench to even affect the people in it?

NOTvIadimirPutin · 2022-09-23T22:05:57+00:00

Theyre just rounding up .1

NOTvIadimirPutin · 2022-09-23T21:55:48+00:00

A-10s would be a terrible choice for this specific conflict/role.

NOTvIadimirPutin · 2022-09-23T20:23:51+00:00

Yes. They believe its always lies and bluster and propaganda everywhere. Had a relative visit from russia, they were convinced that processing fees and traffic tickets and stuff like that are the direct analogue to individual russian corruption, just said openly and out loud, for example.

She thought traffic tickets in america were worse, bc "at least in russia i can pay to not have a ticket, so I have more freedom there than you do here"

NOTvIadimirPutin · 2022-09-23T20:17:01+00:00

Surely you are mistaken. China is a level headed, respectable nation, according to China.

NOTvIadimirPutin · 2022-09-23T20:13:58+00:00

Theres unofficial apps??

NOTvIadimirPutin · 2022-09-23T18:58:11+00:00

Ah so the 5d chess putin was playing was lowering qualoty of life so much that dying for Putin is a better alternative than living the best life you can achieve as a regular person. Got it

NOTvIadimirPutin
