I think even 1/5 of hiroshima might be devastating if you have 20,000 drones with each having 1/5 of the fissionable material.

I know I speak from ignorance, but it’s alarming to me that potentially half a hiroshima can be loaded onto a drone and flown to populated areas and Iran could eventually have 20,000 drones.

Of course that would be devastating, but even if they had access to their refined uranium, which they currently don’t, they don’t enough to make even 1% of these numbers. Probably not enough for 0.1%. Then there’s the problem that they are really are hard to make. But a couple dozen dirty bombs? Yeah - that’s way within their capabilities.

Would they do this if they could? Sure. But they are way more interested in ICBMs.

I speak from knowledge.
You are just scaring FR members.
I’ve been a nuclear historian for 50 years. Learned most from Chuck Hansen who was the source for Richard Rhodes book “Building the Atomic Bomb” and 90% of other writers on the topic.

I can think of one senerio attack that MIGHT work but will not mention it anywhere on-line.
BTW this is not a personal attack. :-)
You just need to a bit more careful
