atom bomb

If this belongs in asb I'll ask to move it but while this scenario is improbable I don't believe it's impossible. What would happen if Brezhnev approves dropping a single nuclear bomb on enemy combatants in his early rule? It'd have to be something like Prague having an outright revolution or a...

PROLOGUE Picking up where we left off... May, 1, 1948 - Berlin Paul Kimickz watches the krauts celebrate across the square waving red flags and singing the international. He almost laughs at the irony, only a few years since the war ended and the damn germans found yet a new -ism to...

People often talk about what if the Korean War ended in a Southern victory (that basically reunifies the peninsula) or one where nukes get used on China but why not both? Granted this would have to take either the reluctance of Truman to accept the usage of nuclear weapons or his absence to...

IIRC, based on my limited knowledge of nuclear weapons, Little Boy contained HEU close to 88%. However, some amounts were only enriched to 50%, with the average enrichment of uranium in the weapon being around 80%. What happens if Little Boy is produced with uranium to be enriched more higher? I...
