>On the 7th September 1997, 60 Minutes broadcast an alarming news item featuring the allegations of former Russian National Security Advisor, General Aleksander Lebed. Lebed claimed that the former Soviet Union had not only manufactured but had lost track of nearly 100of a very frightening weapon: a nuclear bomb in a casing which made it appear to be a small suitcase, designed to be detonated by a single operator with as little as a single half-hours notice. Lebed claimed that the devices had a yield of 1 kiloton (equivalent to 1000 tons of TNT), measured 60 x 40 x 20 centimetres (24 x 16 x 8 inches) and, prior to the dissolution of the USSR in 1991, had been distributed to members of the GRU (foreign military intelligence directorate).
The Russians denied the claim... Do you think they exist Jow Forums? I remember hearing about them in the 90's and then never again.
not necessarily true, modern detonation techniques use far less fissile material than older ones, and there is a limit where expanding the size of a warhead has diminishing returns.
Jason Perry
>had a yield of 1 kiloton not weighed 1 ton.
Christian Miller
hundreds of nuclear weapons are in terrorists hands worldwide right now.. some muslim gangsters / arms dealers in the middle east (and possibly even europe) consider it a status symbol to have an old soviet nuclear warhead in their living room.
you can buy one on the black market for a few million dollars.
the problem is, nuclear weapons contain extremely rare and expensive isotopes that decay quickly, and need to be 'refilled' every 6 months or so.. also the plutonium core needs to be melted back down and machined once every few years, as it begins to oxidize.
to keep a nuke in working condition you need a team of nuclear physicists and engineers, a lab capable of handling highly radioactive isotopes, access to those isotopes, and millions of dollars each year.
but.. with the amount of unchecked muslim organized crime in places like europe and australia, (drug dealing, car theft rings, etc), billions are being sent back to the middle east each year, a nuclear terrorism incident becomes a more realistic possibility each day.
They are only large because of the fuel that it holds to beable to go long distances. The very tip of most warheads is wear the explosive/ignition material is. It doesnt take alot to cause a nuclear reaction.
Adrian Harris
"dirty bombs" are by far more of a threat, that is true.
Julian King
No.
But suitcase chemical weapons.
Ethan Perry
huh...nukes are kinda scary xDD
Angel Jones
That was my point, except I did not confuse a warhead with it's own missile as you have.
Michael Turner
>but.. with the amount of unchecked muslim organized crime in places like europe...
Looking at all the shitskins in my area driving really expensive cars I do not doubt this one bit... Police do not care about drug-related crimes.
Noah Peterson
What a thrill...
Parker Morris
dirty bombs are the biggest threat to western civilization period (besides immigration and jews).
the amount of radioactive cobalt, caesium, or strontium in a single abandoned food irradiation facility, radiotherapy source, or RTG is enough to make a city uninhabitable for centuries.
look how easily drugs like meth and heroin can get into our countries... it is the same for a dirty bomb.
if a dirty bomb goes off in lower manhattan, it will be like 9/11 times 1,000,000.
LOL you guys are idiots. Buddhist monks got behind this a long time ago. If you are irradiated all you have to do is stop eating greasy food, exercise and meditate twice a week and it will be like the nukes never happened.
Xavier Ramirez
Yes they are entirely possible, and likely have been produced.
No, they're nothing to worry about because they will be unshielded and set off all kinds of alarms wherever they go.
literally the only way a nuke is setting off any radiation alarms is while passing through a port. and all it takes is one corrupt customs worker.
Cooper Parker
most major cities have radiation detection equipment installed
Evan Morales
With darkness and silence through the night
Ian Ward
really? maybe on the major tunnels/bridges into manhattan. but where else do they have radiation detectors, and a 24/7 team ready to respond to the detectors being tripped? not in australia.
This kind of thing is all over the world actually. They can be used to detect nuke tests, or even reactor meltdowns. It was suspected russia had a nuclear accident like last year because sensors all over europe were picking up signs of radiation flowing out of russia.
Austin Jones
meltdowns and nuke tests release trillions of radioactive particles. an unexploded nuclear bomb should release no radioactive particles.
the only way to detect that shit is to be within 10 feet or so of the actual bomb. i believe they have detectors like this in the lincoln tunnel in new york, and they are often triggered by trucks carrying isotopes for medical use.
Jace Jenkins
They can be transported in a shielded car and only taken out moments prior to detonation.
These things are on all major highways leading into and out of all large east coast cities. The open rumor is that they're sniffing the air for radiation.
Also, the current threat isn't that a nuke will be smuggled thru an american port, but from Canada. It would be trivial to get it thru a small town border crossing.
Bentley King
Smart koala
Isaac Butler
for sure - they almost certainly have radiation sensors, but likely this is just one part of a larger sensor package. I wonder what else they do, apart from look intimidating.
Jaxson Diaz
those detectors dont 'sniff the air' for radioactive particles. they actually have a highly sensitive CCD that detects radiation, and sets off an alarm when it reaches above background levels (similar to film being exposed by x rays).
a small nuke would literally only need a few inches of lead to be shielded completely from one of those detectors.
Michael Allen
> a small nuke would literally only need a few inches of lead to be shielded completely from one of those detectors. True, if you're determined you can scrub whatever your delivery vehicle is to pass known passive sensors. But even state-sponsored actors can fuck this up easy and not perfectly decontaminate, so it makes sense to have these to catch garage-built dirty bombs and such.
Eli Nguyen
Americans don’t care if our enemies nuke a major city. They would kill almost 99% morons. It would be the end of the Democrat Party for ever.
Jeremiah Nelson

I'd guess that once you've got the nuclear material, avoiding leaving detectable telltale nuclear trace materials and proper decontamination procedures is probably by far the hardest part of any potential nuclear plot.
Christian Reed
Yes. One and it's accompanying biscuit were actually lost and never recovered a few decades ago.
Angel Perry
>Are suitcase nukes real Jow Forums? the atomic pig is real but we have way worse than that now, thats 1970s tech
Kayden Kelly
>These things are on all major highways leading into and out of all large east coast cities. it scrapes data off your phone wirelessly, they don't care if you blow the place up they just want to know when so they can place bets and put options
Cameron Brown
Probably this tbqh. It would explain why they're all hooked up to a fiber line.
Joseph Scott
not even. developed in the late 1950s, produced in early 1960s.
Connor Allen
See earlier post about 60s tech Davy Crocket. The limiting factor on how small a fusion bomb can be is the trigger. Officially, you need a fission bomb to trigger a fusion one, but if you really think they havent almost certainly found a smaller, less (fallout) detectable way in 60 years with tens of trillions in research worldwide...
Nathaniel Cox
of course they exist
it's how world governments throughout the world keep each other in a perpetual Mexican standoff of MAD they slip a suitcase nuke into a diplomatic bag and then stash it in their embassies

You can’t even move cocaine in a bag dumb dumb even if it can’t be opened you can still have a sniffer dog or a Geiger counter find out it’s moving contraband.

been watching a lot of movies Jamal?
Daniel Gomez
you fucking idiots when diplomats travel they don't exactly go through customs the way regular people do, they don't even really produce credentials at ports of entries either, diplomats and the embassies they are set up for them are a whole different ball game, and they are entitled to diplomatic bags that they carry no questions asked
Colton Morgan
so that's a yes? what movies ya been watching?
Carson Cox
the porno yur mum starred in
Evan Campbell
what was in her diplomatic bag? a nuke?

howd they fit an entire jew in their diplomatic bags WITH the nuke?
Justin Morris
The jewish diplomat carries a diplomatic bag which contains the suitcase nuke.

wee still have nukes but the focus is on star wars now, we're about to see some crazy shit and the jump boots from call of duty are real, laser weapons are real
we got crazy shit

>We've been mentally conditioned for it.
Someone on /x/ said that the reason Trump is letting "them" pound his ass with all the Mueller crap is that they have a dozen suitcase nukes in American cities waiting to detonate. If Trump tries to defend himself, or arrests Hilary et all, the American economy will be destroyed.
