Except you don't really need bigger guns. Seriously, no one wants to start WW3..a.k.a. Armageddon.

Neo-Nazis?

In an idea world, yes. But then in an idea world no one would have nukes in the first place.

In the real world no one involved in an arms race is going to sit still and allow their enemies to develop better weapons and defences that neutralize their own.

I guarantee most History Channel watchers wouldn't bat an eyelid.

I actually watched some of the Dogfight series, found it quite entertaining, the narration in American style is a big minus (I don't want the god-damn dramatic cliffhangers everywhere and I don't want narrator reviewing the situation every two minutes and I especially don't like attempts to affect me emotionally), but otherwise from what I gather, it seems to be closer to the truth than the Russian show.

Propaganda? Yes, but less obvious than the Russian stuff. Also, makes me wonder what would have happened if Linebacker operations had been conducted in the beginning of the Vietnam War. Sidenote: they call a SAM system consisting of 20 trucks mobile?

Regarding armament treaties, I have always considered the land mine ban not really working since Russia, China or USA will not obey it. Cluster bomblets (10-20% DUD rate, IIRC) are basically mines, and I'm yet to see a superpower to cleaning them up. MOAB, is bordering to be illegal (by treaties).

There is nothing bigger than the Tzar bomb.
You don't need anything bigger to blow up a city or send another country to the stone age - it's just bad use of money and resources - stupid even for the milltiary.

an arms race is going into a different direction.

[karajorma]

And just who said that the bombs would get bigger?


The point was that missile would get faster and have better jinking systems. Counter-missiles would also get faster and have better systems for dealing with jinking.

Though larger bombs are more interesting in eviromental ways and for watching pleasure. Like, what happens when you fire a 500 GT bomb, at, say, New York?

500GT bomb? What a waste of money.
What the millitary should throw money at is SPACESHIPS.

So that we could go to space and come to the conclusion that it is dark, empty and a tad bit carcinogenic?

No you foo! So we can have starships shoot beamzoorz at eachother.

I bet that's an attempt at getting people into North Korea and capture them as Hostages increasing population there.

Yeah, but remember the USA just blew up the Mother of all Bombs (the largest conventional bomb ever)? And then the Russians, a bit later, blew up the Father of all Bombs (the largest largest conventional bomb ever)?
