New video showing tactical nuke in Ukraine Donetsk region. You can see the ordinance vaporizing the atmosphere!!!!

Not really...
Nuclear bombs are generally detonated at altitude for optimum effect. Hence the tall mushroom.
Tacticals are used is a variety of ways but usually on the ground or below it.
These explosions look more normal with lots of ejecta and smoke. and way smaller..
Later
Yeah...I know...It’s the big cannon...
This occurred before we were able to miniaturize the things even further...
.
Looks like it could be a small nuke.
Current technology allows them to be quite small.
.
At around 2000 yards, you’ll know the difference alright.
For what purpose? Ukraine who supposedly has no nukes, drops it and opens the door to all out Russian invasion of everything including Kiev. No way the west would back them up after a first use for a trival reason.
And the Russians? Why would they drop on a city their side controls?
Just looks like a big battlefield explosion. They do happen. Look the Marines at Roi-Namur. A grunt threw a satchel charge into a concrete building. Turned out to be a very large storage site for torpedo warheads. The photos look like the whole island went up in one blast.
looked like a fueled air explosive.
Of course you can make nuke mushroom clouds with Acetylene and plastic garbage bags.
Non nuclear, the digital camera being used would have been EMPd if it were. Large fuel-air or massive conventional explosive detonation.
Last I heard, we had them as small as 10T and 20t, variables you can adjust to requirements.
You want to be at least a quarter mile away for the small ones.
Well radiation detectors in the short term, and two-headed rodents in the longer term
IF it was a small nuke—it will only be the first of many to come. Do we really want to blow up the world over Ukraine? A neutron bomb would have thousands die in the next few days.
Must be a fuel air bomb. The air to have small nuke like explosion.
I’ve seen the vids.
It wasn’t a nuke, the Rebels say Kiev hit the State Chemicals Factory with a Ballistic Missile, likely a Luna-M. Lots of nasty stuff stored underground there, it seems.
It got hit by an SS-21 missile in the fall, and there was a huge explosion then, as well.
Good to know....
I knew it was not a low velocity explosion. A large package and a secondary would explain what we are seeing.
400 yards danger close for 10kt? Nooooo thanks. A rule of thumb for standing in the open is about a yard per pound.
I have a question. How do we know that everything electric would be wiped out by a nuke? Have we done it in testing?
Really that’s more of an airburst phenomenon.
There's video from Iraq of the controlled demolition of about 450 tons from the Iraqi Air Force's iron bomb stockpile that's about the size of the explosion in this Russian video, if not greater:
Wait for the second detonation...
Even a peewee nuke of 10kt would absolutely dwarf these explosions.
What did Russia do this time??
BTW, where did the footage come from?
Thanks for the mention.
