imp Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 An article came to my attention recently showing a man holding a suitcase-sized supposed nuclear bomb. It seems that some drop-out from former KGB times emigrated to the U.S. and claims the Soviets developed operable bombs carryable by one person, and secreted many of them in various hidden places within the U.S., and is now awaiting the appropriate time to begin using leverage over us with them. Anyone else hear of this; what do you think of this? imp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pangloss Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I'm glad I'm not a politician. I don't know how real those stories are, but they're not very pleasant scenarios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YT2095 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I strongly doubt that something small enough to be fitted into a case like that with Weapons grade isotopes, would have sufficient shielding Not to be detectable from a great distance. I don`t buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sisyphus Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Who is waiting for the appropriate time? The KGB? I'm thinking they missed their chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realitycheck Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Speaking of hiding nukes, it is intriguing to think about whether revealing Israel nukes would act as more of a deterrant than the status quo. Though, when you factor in extremist suicide bombers, it really throws everything off. Threatening to nuke Mecca might have better results.

CPL.Luke Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 russia did develop some of these back in the day presumably as a second strike weapon, they built about 100 of them. Last I heard around 40 were unaccounted for. their were alot of articles on it back in 2002-2003 when this all came to light, and osama was claiming he had a few (obviously he didn't, or realized the us response would be to nuke everything sacred in the holy land) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
