Nuclear weapons are lost technology. Nobody knows how they work anymore. Americans can't even replicate a specific polymer because they fired all their old engineers.
what the frick
How the frick you can produce something and a few decades later you need to to reverse engineer the whole thing? We are talking about nuclear weapons not a fricking iphone, didnt they track literally everything they did?
Classifying everything prevents you from properly maintaining a record of what was made and how to make it. It's the unfortunate nature of secret development.
Also, if that technology becomes obsolete, why continue to produce it? And why keep the recipe of it's such s game changing part of a weapon. Better to let it get lost than declassify it and give it to the enemy.
And that whole "reproduction" shit lol. It was just Republicans pretending to need something badly, just so they could steal government money. They could have bought several new nuclear weapons that don't even need that material and would've been more destructive and cheaper, but then you can't steal money. There's a reason this shit was stopped right when Obama came into office, they wanted to keep their stealing a secret
I dont understand it but its said that the original fogbank was impure and defective but somehow it worked by fidgeting and the new fogbank was too good and then when they did the fidgeting it ruined the error cancellation.
Cold tests and various flavors of CFD.
And unfortunately, most of their maintained nukes would work, since it's really not as hard to maintain them as American narrative paints.

Hey! Russia has 7 super computers, that's almost as much as The Netherlands(8) and Canada(10).
As far as I can tell the US supercomputer is double the speed of the second fastest computer(Japan). It's the Frontier supercomputer at Oak Ridge so likely it runs the nuke simulations. The fastest Russian computer doesn't even count compared. So if you need that much power to run the simulations there is zero chance Russia can manage it. China owns the 7th fastest super computer so maybe they can do small simulations nut nothing like Frontier. US has 150 super computers, China has 134, Russia has 7.

Leonardo is an incredibly effective, if overlooked, defense and high-tier electronics production company. And binlan has some fantastic engineers and the like
> So if you need that much power to run the simulations there is zero chance Russia can manage it.
So how did the Americans ran simulationds in the 90s when hardware was a lot slower?
They are extensively tested as noted by Pentagon's annual report, I wouldn't give credence to the twitter experts who keeps saying they aren't, anon. Listen to the DoD on this.
In this kind of all out warfare, the worst possible outcome for any side is taking a first strike and being unable to retaliate. As of 2023, every nuclear armed nation has a credible deterrence plan to ensure at least some of their arsenal will get through.
End of.
They don't. That's why the last russian nuke test was during the Soviet Union.
They couldn't fund maintaining their nukes, so they let them degrade and now all they have left is some radioactive rubble, just enough for a dirty bomb
You morons STILL believe nukes are real. Lol. Lmfao. >no we don't actually test nukes for real >no you can't even see our computer nukes because it's le super secret >Saddam totally has nukes bros - oh sorry never mind >Russia is going to use nukes! 2 more weeks!
Fricking idiots.
Whack it with a hammer. The ticking sound means its working.
>we use computers
so ours probably don’t work then
Do you drive a modern car or a Lada?
>tfw no Lada in the USA under $5k
like this
Do they still do this today?
They really should. Especially now it would be a great reminder.
May i see it?
no
Ask Private Mobik to open the warhead up and look inside until his face turns red.
If it doesn't, sell it for parts to your uncle's salvage corp and make another.

If youre talking about FOGBANK, it's been successfully recreated and actually "improved".

That isn't true and you don't need some of those compounds anyway.

Fricking idiots.
Why doesnt America use a computer to simulate Russian nukes? Heck
It’s not a full simulation, you still need a nuke present to test,
