ICBM
Airplane on autopilot with dead/sleeping pilot
Control surface problem (e.g. 737 elevator jackscrew excursion scenario)
(Just thinking out loud/adding ideas, not contradicting).
- le-mark 4y agoHypersonic craft aren’t terribly maneuverable, to add an idea.
- CTDOCodebases 4y agoJeez imagine if a country decided to launch the first nuclear strikes using their national carriers passenger air planes masquerading as civilian aircraft. Multiple cities all at once.
- ilyt 4y ago"From Russia with Love" Hell, don't even tell airline about it and send it at cargo, it is only checked at departure port (AFAIK). Same really with cargo containers by ship.
- mr_toad 4y agoI’m not sure how widespread it is, but some ports have radiological detectors.
- alex_young 4y agoExcept they fly 2-3 hundred miles an hour and leak radiation we can detect from space…
- CTDOCodebases 4y agoIf they are detectable yes the speed is an issue. I haven’t seen info regarding detecting tracking unused nuclear weapons using sensors. Do you have a source?
