How to disable bombs for the US army

I’m not going to get into the weeds on this. Training for EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) takes months of training. And if I could tell you, I wouldn’t. They go to a scene, knowing what kind of bombs…

What laser is used in laser-guided bombs?

What laser is to be used depends on factors such as the materials used in building aircrafts and most of the target bodies. And second important factor is ease of production of laser. We should be able to…

The US dropped 23,144 bombs on Muslim countries in 2015. What is the total explosive yield in equivalent pounds of TNT?

This is a tough one. There are some things we need from you first. What were the weights of the bombs? What was the composition of the explosive of the bombs? Or, what are all the exact model…

Is the impact of a plutonium bomb greater than that of a uranium one?

The uranium bomb was relatively simple to design and build, largely because a critical mass did not have to be compressed. It was sufficient to bring to sub-critical masses together quickly enough that they could go super-critical before…

What would a miniature atomic bomb look like? Could it look like the stainless steel sphere shown recently by North Korea? How would the bomb be assembled inside the sphere when the aperture looks so small?

It would look something like this… The Davy Crockett was produced in two variants: the “light” M28 120mm recoilless rifle and the “heavy” M29 155mm recoilless rifle. The M28 had a range of approximately 1.25 miles (2 kilometers),…

Why can’t any supernatural creatures such as vampires, werewolves and more be killed by putting a bomb inside them and detonating it?

Depends on the fiction. In my stories, you’d have to ID said vampires and werewolves, subdue them, put a bomb in them, and then set it off. Now if you did, 90% would be blown to pieces, and…

First, Korea as a whole is (sadly) not a single country. Since it division in 1945, each of the resulting two sides progressed and developed very differently. South Korea follows a US-style republican (the system, not the party)…

Could a B2 bomber fly in to Russia and launch strikes against military targets without being detected?

Yes. Igor Markov has done a pretty decent job with his answer. There are a few important considerations: I don’t think the people who answered no to your question have any idea what a map of the world…

What are the chances that North Korea developed a Hydrogen Bomb?

This seems to have been North Korea’s most powerful weapon to date by about an order of magnitude. Estimates of the yield range from 50–120 kT, based on seismic readings. This is very small for a thermonuclear device…
