I find it odd that not a single nuke has been stolen and used by a psycho yet.
    #21684300 - 05/15/15 06:44 PM (8 years, 8 months ago)

It would seem that after 70 years and thousands of nukes produced, that at least one of them wasn't stolen. Different countries, different security, different armies and protocols. The soviet union collapsing etc. Not a single one went missing.

Either our the governments are experts at protecting nukes or experts at concealing mishaps.

There are 17300 nuclear warheads to steal on this planet. It's bound to happen at some point right?

Its probably because most lunatics who may want to steal one wouldn't know what to do with it once they did.

Agreed. I can't believe it hasn't happened yet either. Also, why hasn't some psycho put germ warfare chemicals in the water supply yet. It is like when you drive down the road.We just trust others not to cross over and hit us head on. Yet it doesn't usually happen. I have anxiety about that stuff all the time.

I have those thoughts sometimes, too. I don't have anxiety about it, but the fact its possible crosses my mind.

I basically got to the point where I just said "heck with it, anything could happen at any given time. Just gonna let it go & enjoy life".

Anyway, I had no idea there were that many nukes but I hope to God they stay in (relatively) sane hands

A nuclear bomb nearly exploded over North Carolina in the 60s.  It failed like multiple failsafes and very nearly went off.  I would imagine there are numerous other instances of near disaster that remain classified.

This was a hilariously informative piece by 'John Oliver' of HBO regarding the nukes and how we keep them.. It is astonishingly pathetic how poor the amount of care is put into the controlling Nukes and the pathetic people in charge of controlling them and what they do to 'not' protect determined Psychos from getting access to these nukes

Pretty sure launching one is rocket science for reals. Probably cant just hit the top of it with a hammer. This is why the dirty bomb scenario is floated so often, akmed can't detonate a nuke.
There are several terrorist plots i am surprised haven't happened. When I took a greyhound bus no one counted the people getting back on after the piss stop pretty easy to check a bomb under the bus in the luggage area. Luckily no one cares about bus passengers enough to bring in any security other than drug searches.
Also wonder why no one just rents out one unit in office building and fills it with explosives and blows up whole thing. It would probably work better than a truck bomb.
Also random sniper attacks, that Washington sniper guy had a whole metro area in fear for weeks. Surprised that hasnt happened again, all one time mass shootings recently.

When the soviet union disbanded huuuundreds of nuclear warheads went missing. A group of friend actually has a pool for when one will be used. I may or may not have 2016-2020 covered in it....

http://mentalfloss.com/article/17483/8-nuclear-weapons-us-has-lost
During the Cold War the United States military misplaced at least eight nuclear weapons permanently. These are the stories of what the Department of Defense calls "broken arrows"—America's stray nukes, with a combined explosive force 2,200 times the Hiroshima bomb.
STRAY #1: Into the Pacific

February 13, 1950. An American B-36 bomber en route from Alaska to Texas during a training exercise lost power in three engines and began losing altitude. To lighten the aircraft the crew jettisoned its cargo, a 30-kiloton Mark 4 (Fat Man) nuclear bomb, into the Pacific Ocean. The conventional explosives detonated on impact, producing a flash and a shockwave. The bomb's uranium components were lost and never recovered. According to the USAF, the plutonium core wasn't present.
STRAY #2 & 3: Into Thin Air

March 10, 1956. A B-47 carrying two nuclear weapon cores from MacDill Air Force Base in Florida to an overseas airbase disappeared during a scheduled air-to-air refueling over the Mediterranean Sea. After becoming lost in a thick cloud bank at 14,500 feet, the plane was never heard from again and its wreckage, including the nuclear cores, was never found. Although the weapon type remains undisclosed, Mark 15 thermonuclear bombs (commonly carried by B-47s) would have had a combined yield of 3.4 megatons.
STRAYS #4 & 5: Somewhere in a North Carolina Swamp

January 24, 1961. A B-52 carrying two 24-megaton nuclear bombs crashed while taking off from an airbase in Goldsboro, North Carolina. One of the weapons sank in swampy farmland, and its uranium core was never found despite intensive search efforts to a depth of 50 feet. To ensure no one else could recover the weapon, the USAF bought a permanent easement requiring government permission to dig on the land.
STRAY #6: The Incident in Japan

December 5, 1965. An A-4E Skyhawk attack aircraft carrying a 1-megaton thermonuclear weapon (hydrogen bomb) rolled off the deck of the U.S.S. Ticonderoga and fell into the Pacific Ocean. The plane and weapon sank in 16,000 feet of water and were never found. 15 years later the U.S. Navy finally admitted that the accident had taken place, claiming it happened 500 miles from land the in relative safety of the high seas. This turned out to be not true; it actually happened about 80 miles off Japan's Ryuku island chain, as the aircraft carrier was sailing to Yokosuka, Japan after a bombing mission over Vietnam.

These revelations caused a political uproar in Japan, which prohibits the United States from bringing nuclear weapons into its territory.
STRAYS #7 & 8: 250 kilotons of explosive power

Spring, 1968. While returning to home base in Norfolk, Virginia, the U.S.S. Scorpion, a nuclear attack submarine, mysteriously sank about 400 miles to the southwest of the Azores islands. In addition to the tragic loss of all 99 crewmembers, the Scorpion was carrying two unspecified nuclear weapons—either anti-submarine missiles or torpedoes that were tipped with nuclear warheads. These could yield up to 250 kilotons explosive power (depending which kind of weapon was used).
NOTE: WHAT ABOUT TYBEE?

The United States lost a warhead off of Tybee Island, Georgia, in 1958. According to the U.S. Air Force, it did not contain a plutonium core and therefore could not be considered a functional nuclear weapon, though that has been debated. Whether you believe the U.S. Air Force on this matter is a personal call.

It very hard to get a modern day nuclear weapon to explode properly without the access codes. You essentially have to reverse engineer and then rewire the whole thing. You have to get everything right in a millionth of a second or it will simply blow apart or at most fizzle with a multiton yield.

There are some Russian suitcase nukes missing. The KGB had 100 made and a number of them are not accounted for. These are prime candidates for unapproved detonation as they have a rugby ball shaped plutonium pit in a metal tube packed with explosives which only needs to be detonated on both sides simultanously for positive function. Two exploding bridgewire caps would do it.

Nukes have both been stolen and lost.  Some have been lost, found, sold, stolen, etc.

So far none have been detonated though.  As antoher poster said, it is a LOT harder then the movies make that shit out to be.  A lot of the weapons have key components that are seperate and have to be physically put on the missle or bomb in order to make it arm and nuclear capable, and most are stored or shipped without this capability enabled, meaning the part needed is not on the aircraft with the bomb.

Now a days things are even more complex as well, with the incorporation of computers, etc.  I imagine now a days new armnament has encryption key codes and a combonation of hardware and software that all has to talk and sync just that perfect way to even begin to arm something, let alone get to the det point.

I mean hell, there have been some counties that just RECENTLY even figured out how to make nukes, for energy or weapons, and you know out of their entuire country they have to have SOME smart people, and im sure somewhere, SOME spy has stolen one....

I think in most cases it would take a proper full government with a countries resources to say, steal a nuke and then reverse engineer it in order to detonate it.

It very hard to get a modern day nuclear weapon to explode properly without the access codes. You essentially have to reverse engineer and then rewire the whole thing. You have to get everything right in a millionth of a second or it will simply blow apart or at most fizzle with a multiton yield.

There are some Russian suitcase nukes missing. The KGB had 100 made and a number of them are not accounted for. These are prime candidates for unapproved detonation as they have a rugby ball shaped plutonium pit in a metal tube packed with explosives which only needs to be detonated on both sides simultanously for positive function. Two exploding bridgewire caps would do it.




Thanks for clarifying that for anyone who thinks they haven't gone missing. I knew of the Russian briefcase nukes but not the american ones posted above you which makes me cringe a little thinking about it.

The russian ones that went missing are the ones I would worry about. Geo loc wise look who's around russia. Could have gone to the middle east, could have gone to korea, anywhere.

Pretty sure launching one is rocket science for reals. Probably cant just hit the top of it with a hammer. This is why the dirty bomb scenario is floated so often, akmed can't detonate a nuke.





you honestly believe that? it's only the people in the west that are capable of
detonating a nuke? no one else in the world would have that ability?

are you aware that pakistan has nukes?




Yes the government of pakistan with scientists and engineers etc. I am saying ISIS cant steal one and detonate it




so there cannot possibly be any muslim scientists and engineers

Everybody worries about hydrogen or nuclear bombs but think about it they came out with the hydrogen bomb in the 50's, we MUST HAVE more destructive weapons right now but no one would know if we did have a wmd stronger then hydrogen bombs or VX gas until we used it.

I'm more worried about the psychopaths who already have one, like Russia or Pakistan. And let's not forget North Korea.

North Korea wouldn't benefit from launching nuclear weapons on the U.S. We would blow them quite literally off the map while our anti nuclear defensiveness kicked in. Who would back North Korea militarily if they did :lol:

Well, you're assuming dear leader/Pillsbury dough boy Kim Jung Un is sane.

What's the point really? :lol:

Can't imagine needing any sort of weapon more powerful than an MIRV delivery of 7+ megaton nuclear weapons in a targeted area




Though in all likelihood the US probably has kinetic space weapons that simply rely on sheer physical force to cause about as much damage as a small nuclear device - as there are many clear benefits to such a system, no radiation, high penetration, accuracy, and virtually impossible to stop

There could be WMDs that are undetectable, biological,in food sources or contamination disease that kills fast and leaves the body. Imagine an entire country wiped out before we get to launch nukes. There are conceivable improvement s if you truly think about it.

I can't comment  on the defensive capabilities but in the 80s is when Reagan put in the Star Wars initiative. I'm sure we have improved quite a bit further in that area too.

Yes I suppose there is good use in bio/chem mass effect weapons, as they don't destroy infrastructure and are low profile, people might never know who attacked them if it was effective enough - leaving the targeted countries infrastructure free to take over if that's desired.

let's not forget china, india, israel, france and the US. those frenchies come
unglued pretty fast when it comes to what ever it is they think they're good at

and the US... the only ones to ever use a nuke against a civilian population

Supposedly nukes went missing after the collapse of the soviet union.
