North Korea claims to have nuclear suicide bombers - Polidicks

Are you people sure these guys aren't the exact opposite - a team of engineers who have a HAZMAT suit in the backpack and whip them out in case of contamination emergency? It would make far more sense to put the radiation symbol onto it if it was practically a safety measure so you could quickly find it in case of panic.

[QUOTE=AlienCreature;41657973]And what kind of suicide bomb would have the fucking [i]sign for radiation[/i] painted on it?[/QUOTE] That's what makes it [i]nucular[/i].

[QUOTE=willtheoct;41660747]wouldnt carrying radioactive materials shorten the lifespan of the suicide bombers?[/QUOTE] There are other parts of the job that shorten their lifespan, I'm sure.

What if they exploded in the cart full of the other suicide bombers.

[QUOTE=NoDachi;41658821]Not true. If a target is ground-burst or air-burst depends on a number of factors. Not to mention ground-bursts create a significant amount of fallout.[/QUOTE] In the "nuclear suicide bombers" case it would be air burst, as the blast is actually above the ground. Even with a ground burst munition there's still mitigation from the velocity of the weapon + the time of the fuse to actually spark, so partial burial would still mitigate the downward blast of the weapon. Thus limiting it's effectiveness in regards to the mere milliseconds of blast damage. Since the weapon is above ground then it would actually have more blast damage in all directions. In turn the nukes effects (short and long term) would actually spread further from the blast, while if it were to be slightly mitigated into the ground it would retain a "conical" pattern around the point of detonation.

[QUOTE=download;41657958]Lol, yea right. Even the smallest nukes developed by the US weighed about 50kgs[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Ganerumo;41658052]Okay that's cool but it doesn't help the fact than in order to be effective nukes have to be dropped from a good enough height and detonated [I]before[/I] they hit the ground. They don't explode on impact, they do so a few hundred meters before hitting the ground for maximum spread and impact.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=carcarcargo;41658306]Yeah but nukes that size are usually pretty pathetic in size in terms of destructive ability, certainly not as threatening as an actual missile or bomb. Mostly it'll just spread radiation everywhere.[/QUOTE] Firstly, 50kg is not that much to wear if it's in a properly designed backpack Also see this thing: [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W80_(nuclear_warhead)[/url] [img]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3f/W80_nuclear_warhead.jpg/751px-W80_nuclear_warhead.jpg[/img] That's a hydrogen bomb developed by the US in the '70s, with a max yield of 150kt That's an explosion that's equivalent to an explosion of 150,000,000 kg of TNT (which, i don't know about you, but in my world that's a buttload of explosives) "Okay" you say, "it's pretty damn heavy though", which is true, since (at 130kg) it'd be like wearing another dude and a half as a backpack. However, it's a hydrogen bomb. See that spherical protrusion on the front of it? That's the fission nuclear device that [I]sets it off[/I]. The W80 is a variable yield warhead, with the minimum yield being 5kt when only the primary (fission) stage is fired without setting off the fusion secondary. So if could detach the primary stage, you would have a small, melon-sized nuclear device that explodes and releases an amount of energy that's equivalent to the explosion of 5,000,000 kg of TNT. That's still a buttload of explosives. I mean fair enough, this is made by the US, and it's rather questionable whether North Korea is able to do this right now, but still.

[QUOTE=Sally;41660950]What if they exploded in the cart full of the other suicide bombers.[/QUOTE] I don't think you can get sympathetic detonations with nuclear devices. Chances are they're just wearing regular backpacks with the radiation symbol painted on them, though.

[QUOTE=dogmachines;41660571]Because it's all bourgeois lies created by the US and it's South Korean puppet state.[/QUOTE] The DPRK being provoked into crossing the 38th parallel makes much more sense than the view that it “stormed across the DMZ backed up by artillery” in a seeming act of aggression. While the DPRK did and still does want reunification with the south, the idea that it would attack a nation that had been well entrenched in the American sphere of influence for years at that point is simply idiotic. Just like with the American war of aggression in Vietnam - America likes to rewrite history to justify its imperialist wars.

It is simply much more likely for the bags to contain a radiation suit or similar such equipment.

While a nuclear bomb in the conventional sense probably won't fit in a backpack, a pack of normal explosives surrounded by radioactive waste or something will. Something like that would essentially shut down a small area for hundreds of years.
