Not that bad of a video on "backpack nukes"

More pictures, videos and info that I have seen in one place so far.


I know - a lot of unrelated stock footage but still some good info on the actual devices.

yep, watched this a while back, certainly a much more sinister take then the official declassified video I saw floating around some where on line.

I wonder which version is true. For some reason I think special forces are smart enough to figure out where to put it and extend the timer so they can get out on time.. making them seem suicidal with fake leaked documents is a good way to terrorize the Soviet military as well..

The truth will never be known..

The Davey Crockett analysis videos piss me off too, because if its used in a empty field MAYBE its a bad idea, but certainly they can setup a firing point on a elevation, near a rock ledge, etc.. take youtube analysis videos with a grain of salt. Sometimes I think all the field maneuvers they can think of are based on a tiny COD map or something. (the davey crockett uses seem obvious, but I could be wrong)

not to mention the trigger circuits and methods and such for this small bomb are probably classified or not even documented and will hopefully be forgotten to history like chemical weapons.

He does have a very interesting take on it though.

Jeez, this guy sounds like that thing killed his whole family at least.
Butthurt lefties are getting more pathetic than ever.

Homer J Simpson:
Always amazing to me that in just 15 or 16 years we were able to miniaturize to the W54.

Low yield of course but still the technology for 1960 was pretty impressive. Actually earlier than that if you consider the development.
