Well detonating nuclear warheads (literally) near some important asset of yours is probably always some kind of last ditch effort.

- bigiain 9y agoI did a tour of the Nike missile site in the Marin Headlands / Golden Gate Park once. They were very careful to "neither confirm nor deny" whether the site ever had nuclear payloads, but they _did_ make a point to tell everyone that the beautiful mechanical targeting computers had Sacramento programmed in as a target, "just in case"...
- Bartweiss 9y agoYeah, probably not the sort of thing you go and do to stop a 5-kiloton conventional warhead.
- Symmetry 9y agoNot necessarily, it would be going off pretty high. Much higher than in this video with people directly underneath. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlE1BdOAfVc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlE1BdOAfVc
