Well, destroying cities was also the military purpose of the first two atomic bombs.
- jonathankoren 3y agoIt was the largest bomb ever until then, yes. But to equate a fission bomb to a fusion bomb is a disservice. We’re talking multiple orders of magnitude more powerful. If you want to know the difference, I suggest nukemap. To put it in perspective, we’re talking about destroying lower manhattan with the Fat Man, versus incinerating all five boroughs and shattering windows in White Plains, NY. I’m not talking about dick waving stunt like the Tsar Bomba, I’m talking about deployed weapons.
