Do you think MIRV would ever be used by an aircraft?

[Mathias]

.... I'm not sure if you know what a MIRV is.

[Flying Tigers]

one missile breaks into more missiles

[Mathias]

No.. A MIRV is an atmospheric re-entry unit used in nuclear-carrying ICBMs. They are usually deployed in clusters, each having one nuclear warhead.

As you can imagine, such a device has nothing to do with bomber aircraft.

[Flying Tigers]

wait a minute, then what the hell is that thing that I saw in Ace combat that 1 missile can disperse into more missiles?

[Rayburn]

It's called fiction, videogames and many other media tend to contain quite a lot of it...

[Mathias]

It's called a cluster missile? :???:

[Waris]

This is the Minuteman MIRV, with outer shell removed:


The three cones are the re-entry vehicle. Each of them contains a nuke warhead.

BTW, we've decided with the former USSR to disarm all multiple warhead nuclear weapons, so of course not, especially not with a bomb. We used to have the peacmeaker, 10 300kt warheads lol, 300kt is capable of decimating all of new york city pretty much.

[BlackBob]

it is so capible of destroying any major cite and comtaminating teh area fo r100 years or more that the geneva convention banned it. (i tink)

[AllStarZ]

"Pfft, what does some convention in Guh-Nee-Vuh have to do with us? And what is this Hag I keep hearing about?"

The facts.

1. MIRV have never been used (only tested without nuclear fuels)
2. Soon the MIRV will be useless, the military is experimenting with a laser that can burn right through its detonating circuitry
3.MIRV can take down multiple city with the force of 5 times Hiroshima
4.A MIRV warhead cost circa 12 miljard dollars
5. Because of the above it would be economicly inresponsible to buy more then 1 MIRV although America's has updated all his ICBM's with the new MIRV warhead.
6. In 5-10 years the Nuke will dissapear from the list of number one WOMD (Weapon of Mass Destruction) Because a more powerfull Anti Matter bomb is experimented with, if succesfull one bomb will destroy whole Europe and leave no radiation.

the main anti-matter research plant is in the swiss alps. not so recently there was a small explosion and a part of the facility was compleatly destroied. if anyone reads Tintin and snowy(milou) in the first moon one the actual plant is not in Syloavia but in switzerland it is CERN

this anti matter bomb, is it better than hidrogen bomb?
and I guess you get that quote from my sig

[Crazykenny]

Yes its 100 times more powerfull then the most powerfull H-Bomb

And no i didnt copied it from your sig

[Flying Tigers]

then where?
just curious because I know mine from operation flashpoint

[Crazykenny]

So do i

[Flying Tigers]

now THAT is crazy coincidence
PS:back to topic

[Eddy01741]

I'd say a mirv costs more than around 12 mil, seriously, one tomahawk costs one mil, i think a Mirv should cost more, after all, it's actually a nuke. Anyways, you gotta have more than one mirv if you want any, you can't just wipe out one country and get on with it, you must wipe out all countries with one ounce of disobeyence to you . jkjk. We should just ban mirvs, i mean, after the pacts with russia, i think we don't have any left. Also, we don't have very good ABMs yet, so if 10 Mirv warheads were to strike one city (unrealistic as it's so stupid), 5 would hit and five would b e shot down at best.

[Crazykenny]

Well each Warhead in the MIRV will cost around 12 mil i guess. But from my sources allot more.

[striker26]

oh gosh seeing what a MIRV can do in contra in one base....imagine what would happen in real life!

[Crazykenny]

In real life its gonna suck like hell

Antimatter bombs won't come for a long time. We have no reliable way to contain it and the production is not more than a few atoms a year.

Also, source on the accident in CERN?

[Dauth]

We can relilably form large amount of anti-protons at fermilab. I believe CERN recently made some molecules of antihydrogen, ie a position orbiting a antiproton.

Antiprotons at accelerators can be stored in a cyclic magnetic field, with stronger magnets or less energetic particles the loop the anti-particles follow will become much smaller.

[Crazykenny]

Did you study molecular fysics?
