It's crazy how the smaller tests look so massive. I guess the reason for it is that the cameras can get closer to see relative scale.

Everytime I see a nuclear test I honestly think to myself: Everyone should get a bunch of those things. Some people think of nukes or WMDs in general as nothing more than superweapons. I see them as something beautiful. They represent the human spirit and dedication to making something possible that would otherwise be absolutely impossible.

The thing these tests never show is the firestorm that would be happening after the blast wave if detonated over a city. A lot of people think that pictures of the aftermath of the Hiroshima bombing was mostly done from the blast where a large part of the desolate landscape came from the firestorm that burned everything that was blown apart, survived the blast, or was constructed from a material more resistant to heat and fire.
@Barabel225 ай бұрын

@@RobertCraft-re5sf Myth of the nukes was essential to stabilize the world order after ww2, where people of the West would be afraid to attack Communist Bloc due to the potential catastrophic retaliation. Communism, being entirely a creation of the West from the very beginning, was effectively a huge forced labor camp whose goods were exported to the West at a fraction of a free market price. That's why it was in the interest of the Western elites to secure its existence through the nuke propaganda.

Operation Buster-Jangle was a series of seven (six atmospheric, one cratering) nuclear weapons tests conducted by the United States in late 1951 at the Nevada Test Site. Buster-Jangle was the first joint test program between the DOD (Operation Buster) and Los Alamos National Laboratories (Operation Jangle). As part of Operation Buster, 6,500 troops were involved in the Operation Desert Rock I, II, and III exercises in conjunction with the tests.[1] The last two tests, Operation Jangle, evaluated the cratering effects of low-yield nuclear devices. ref: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Buster%E2%80%93Jangle
