I think we all can agree at least 78% of the Russian account is bullshit. They should have just said their scientists crashed a captured UFO.

The only thing I think I can believe is that at least 5 people are dead and these some nuclear fallout we all have to deal with.

yeah for sure. the fact that its remote and cold AF arctic is one thing, but its still close to Finland I guess, so they said something. bet this opp moves further north now because TV has taught us all the russian can't let something publicly go wrongs

i know i joke on the partisan hack board about nukes all the time but no shit i am scared this is how we go. either the long game 5 russian disasters making us all turn into radioactive men or someone goes jack ripper and POEs our asses.

They are even lying about that. Death toll is at least 7.

Details remain scarce about Burevestnik and how it works, but the most prominent working theory is that its main propulsion source is a nuclear ramjet. A weapon in this configuration would use rocket motors – potentially liquid-fueled, which would explain the source of the explosion in this accident – to boost it to the optimal speed for the ramjet to work. After that, air would pass over the nuclear reactor and get heated before passing through an exhaust nozzle at the rear to produce thrust.

This, in principle, would give the weapon virtually unlimited range and a maximum flying time measured in days or weeks. Another possibility might be that it uses a nuclear thermal rocket, which uses a liquid fuel source instead of air, but this would have a more limited flight time compared to an air-breathing design given its use of a more finite fuel source. Reports of "liquid fuel" may also point to a liquid fuel reactor design.

I figured it would have been a nuclear pulse engine like the one for Project Orion. Essentially would make an intercept over American airspace a guaranteed detonation with a possible EMP. Still, an intercept of the ramjet would cause nuclear fallout wherever it got popped.

Moscow (CNN)Residents of a Russian village near the site of a suspected explosion of a nuclear-powered missile have been told to evacuate, Russian state news agency RIA-Novosti reported, citing a local official. 

Villagers were asked to leave Nyonoksa on Wednesday morning due to planned military activities, RIA reported Tuesday, citing Ksenia Yudina, head of the press service of the Severodvinsk administration. 
Local news portal tv29.ru reported that Nyonoksa would be evacuated by train between 5:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. Wednesday. The settlement is approximately 30 miles from the port city of Severodvinsk. 
A local correspondent for the independent investigative newspaper Novaya Gazeta said military officials told residents the evacuation of Nyonoksa was not connected to Thursday's explosion, which claimed the lives of five Russian nuclear specialists. 
 
 
 
I laughed at that line. Hey, we had an explosion, you all need to evacuate, but it is not related. Wonderful Russian logic.

That sounds risky and dangerous.

There were those of us who fought against this. But in the end, we could not keep up with the expense involved in the arms race, the space race, and the peace race. And at the same time, our people grumbled for more nylons and washing machines. Our Doomsday scheme cost us just a small fraction of what we'd been spending on defense in a single year. But the deciding factor was when we learned that your country was working along similar lines, and we were afraid of a Doomsday gap.

I was like 90% sure this was from Strangelove but had to google check. 

I've read some strangely well-written/profound things on here that I could swear were just quotes at the time. 

 

/nocr and of course Trump is quoted as saying "oh yeah whatever that is we have it too" in the article. Because that's what the president is going to say, regardless of the truth of the matter.

So now they are starting more evacuations?

All those Art Bell/Alex Jones/QAnon/Flat Earthers/anus probers/preppers/etc. idiots should be shitting their pants over this.  This has the makings of a real-life government project gone awry.  And it's Russia to boot, so like somebody said, we've heard a tiny fraction of what actually happened.

Or the Quaker Oats thread. Or the How to Live Forever thread. Really Wilfred Brimley is always relevant. 

 I can state with certainly he was the most cantankerous cuss that I have ever worked with. By far.  What a miserable SOB.
