OT Who would have known there were so many bombs?

Probably went too fast for me to follow. I didn't see the Israeli or
the South African tests.

I didn't know the South Africans had tests. I'm not too sure about the
Israelis either.

More proof that the nervous nitwits who said they had enough bombs to "destroy the world 10x over" were idiots. They detonated hundreds of bombs in tests and apart from some fishermen who were contaminated (1 died I think) there were NO drastic results from those detonations. On top of that, most attack bombs would be air-bursts for maximum blast damage and wouldn't create huge amounts of fall-out like ground or water-burst tests done.


Your above statement comes pretty close to being one on the asinine and
ignorant statements you have ever come out with.
Sheesh!

Uh, that doesn't mean those couldn't have been used to destroy the world ten
times over, an expression that doesn't necessarily means turning the entire
surface of the planet into ash.

There were over 64 000 atomic bombs in the world in 1986. I think that
was on the order of 10 bombs for every city in the world with a population
of 50 000 or more. (Most of these were so-called tactical weapons,
not intended to be used against cities, but the majority of tactical
nukes were still pretty huge bombs.)

South Africa collaborated with Israel and Taiwan on nuclear weapons
development. South Africa ultimately built seven or eight atomic bombs
in 1987-88, but dismantled them in 1989 and forswore nuclear weapons
thereafter.

The so-called "Vela Incident"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vela_Incident remains controversial,
politically if not technically, but I, who am not a conspiracy
theorist, am quite convinced that the Vela satellite detected an
atmospheric nuclear test.

Thanks. That seems to confirm that there was no test by South Africa.
I've been long aware of the Vela incident and to the best of my
knowledge the concensus is that it was of meteoric origin. The
suggestion has been made that the explosion was a test on Prince
Edward Island but an active volcanic peak in the deep waters of the
southern ocean does not seem to be practical site for a test.

Does it, now?

Heh, heh.
