To quote the movie of the same name: „I don't know what's scarier, losing nuclear weapons, or that it happens so often there's actually a term for it.”

To quote the movie of the same name: „I don't know what's scarier, losing nuclear weapons, or that it happens so often there's actually a term for it.”
- bombcar 3y agoOne of the most surprising things of the 20th century is that we (apparently) somehow survived the collapse of a nuclear superpower (USSR) with nuclear weapons not only not being used, but apparently not even lost.
- throwawaymobule 3y agoIs there any confirmation on the former USSR not losing any at all? I'd assume there's at least a couple, and a few more from years prior that didn't get reported. I know there were hundreds of nuclear batteries abandoned which became orphan sources.
- bombcar 3y agoThe only real confirmations are nobody using one, not even in a hot war involving Russia.
