The Atomic Scientist's NEW NUKES:

So what's the difference between TACTICAL and STRATEGIC  Nuclear Weapons?

Well .. always bearing in mind that Tactical weapons form part of the overall strategic threat to 'the enemy' (that's you and me) ..

- I'd say that, roughly speaking, TACTICAL nuclear weapons are designed for use by the military against other Military Targets. - whereas ..

STRATEGIC  nuclear weapons are designed to be targeted by the governments in a bigger way against our countries and their populations.

However - this type of label is really a Government political construct or "SPIN" - as they all are genocidal WMD designed to destroy life on earth.

Trouble is - as I see it .. that we are no longer watching "Sci-Fi" movies on the screen - but this crazy stuff has become real and now .. but a small consolation might be reports that the main atomic powers do claim to have have reduced the numbers of their deployed nukes lately ..

According to the latest Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists ..

"The Russian navy is also developing the Status-6 (Poseidon) – a nuclear-powered, very long range, nuclear-armed torpedo. Once deployed in the mid-2020s, the weapon would be carried by specially configured Oscar submarines known as the Belgorod-class (Project 09852)."

I find that snippet of information concerning as it seems that just having nuclear missiles, gravity bombs, torpedoes & mines etc actively deployed is becoming dated, not enough, & old-fashioned ..

.. the NEW GENERATION arriving to kill our kids is going to be fleets of nuclear pulse-jet powered extended duration, robotic, unmanned loitering nuclear munitions sent-off into the skies and oceans to cruise about for months at a time loaded with dozens of 'thermo-nuclear' warheads.

Am I paranoid (or maybe just 'aware')?

These people truly are INSANE .. I am relieved that they haven't yet developed nuclear powered giant moles to tunnel into the ground and work their way under each others cities to wait for orders to blow the lot ..

Oops - what did I just say? - Hasn't 'sapping' and mining been a military technique for centuries - and it would be too much to expect that our "leaders" have neglected that possibility eh - perhaps it's still a developmental secret?

"Thunderbirds" Thought of Tunneling MOLES In 1964:

- If I disappear from blogging you might guess that I've trodden on somebodies toes eh.

Who knows? .. but all the world's mothers can sleep easy because New Zealand has prohibited semi-auto rifles and high capacity magazines.

- Before I go - may I enrich your knowledge & happiness with two names:

TELLER - ULAM.

These two persons jointly planned & developed the science that produced the thermonuclear SUPER BOMB ..  All "hydrogen bomb" warheads used today by all nations are built to their still secret basic design. - They really tried hard in America for success. "Teller" was born Teller Ede in Budapest 1908.

Ukrainian Stanislaw ULAM to his everlasting credit also proposed Nuclear Pulse Propulsion in US..

Your small happiness that I mentioned should stem from the fact that both Austria-Hungarian born men are now deceased (and that they both really disliked each other).
