The United States carried out an underground chemical explosion at a nuclear test site in Nevada

The United States conducted new tests at a nuclear test site in Nevada immediately after the Russian State Duma adopted a law revoking ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). This was reported by the US Department of Energy, which operates the testing center.

The United States conducted a new experiment at a test site in Nevada, producing an underground chemical explosion. As stated by the US Department of Energy, in this way the Americans tried to improve the ability to detect low-power nuclear explosions around the world. The explosion was chemical, because the United States stands for “reducing” the nuclear threat and “non-proliferation” of nuclear weapons. weapons.

A team from the Nevada National Security Site (Nevada Test Site) conducted an underground chemical explosion at the site to improve the United States' ability to detect low-yield nuclear explosions around the world

- said in a statement.

Meanwhile, the tests took place just a few hours after the Russian State Duma adopted a law revoking ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. Now some American experts fear that Moscow will “misunderstand” Washington’s actions and this will lead to further escalation. But in fact, the United States is “white and fluffy”; it generally advocates banning nuclear weapons. Before this, Russia stated that it would not conduct nuclear tests first, but would wait for the United States to conduct them.

Despite the ban on nuclear testing, the United States maintains its nuclear test site in Nevada in a state of full combat readiness. According to available information, the Americans plan to test new warheads that are being put into service as part of the modernization of the existing nuclear weapons arsenal.

The matter is left to us, to carry out a “chemical” explosion on Novaya Zemlya

[KCA]

We won’t carry out any chemical explosions for now, Yozhik understands that even a 0.5 kT nuclear explosion cannot be simulated with ordinary explosives, how can we bury 500 tons of explosives underground? It is possible, of course, until long and difficult. An obvious provocation, and the power of the explosion is recorded at once

Bring a bunch of saltpeter to the old mine using a cage.

[KCA]

I wrote that, in principle, it is possible, but it will take a long time and is expensive, and to simulate an explosion of 500 tons of TNT you will need 5 times more saltpeter, plus coal will need half the mass of saltpeter

[Silver99]

There is no need to condense and intensify, this is not a nuclear explosion in its pure form, isotopes were used as accompanying components in order to identify a potential nuclear explosion, let's calm down and not blow up anything on Novaya Zemlya in return. There is no need to engage in provocations or show off; everything you need at the appointed time will work on Washington better than a Swiss watch.

[parabyd]

No, you have to answer. Not even that. We must do our job without looking back. No one can guarantee that it was not an explosion of a low-power nuclear device.

Coupled with the speech of the self-propelled grandfather about the need to defeat Russia, this is too obvious a threat to let everything go on the brakes. If the sense of self-preservation has not yet atrophied, it’s time to bang

Nuclear explosions differ from chemical explosions in the shape of the seismic wave. At least in this way, among other things, they confirmed that the tests in the DPRK were indeed nuclear, as far as I remember.

[Pavel73]

And not underground, but above ground. Collect 20 kilotons of ammonite and die. And in all colors from different angles and different distances, capture everything on modern HD video. And how the explosion occurs, and how the shock wave diverges, and what damage it causes. Nobody banned chemical explosions...

[dmi.pris1]

By the way, similar experiments are happening at the test site with ordinary explosives. They are working on computer models. I don’t see anything unusual. We do the same

[Pavel73]

Hmm... I'm curious, which is more expensive? 20 kilotons of industrial explosives or a nuclear weapon of similar power?

[nepunamemuk]

in Soviet times, the cost of manufacturing a thermonuclear weapon with a yield of one megaton was about one hundred thousand rubles
so consider

[Last centurion]

It's a stupid chemical charge underground. If there is nowhere to put the explosives, you need to fire the AVBPM. The Avdeevka shop was blown away

[iommy]

You misspelled the word “Kyiv” and accidentally wrote “Novaya Zemlya”.

[Mavrikiy]

The explosion was chemical because The US advocates “reducing” the nuclear threat and “non-proliferation” of nuclear weapons.

They're lying about something... or rather, they're lying.

[evgen1221]

Apparently they strongly believed that no harm would come from a small explosion of a small nuclear bomb. Apparently they will also fire only small bombs at the elves in response. And if not?

In general, the next round of the nuclear arms race is not even a step, half a step... in general, this is sad and dangerous.
So, starting a race no longer depends on one person... there may be more than one or two actors in the process, so everything is much more complicated.

[ZovSailor]

Wow, friends and not friends!
Copying the actions of the False West is pointless; as he once said after the execution of his brother Alexander in a failed attempt on the life of the Tsar, we will take a different path, and let the whole island and meadow gang tremble, we have both “Poseidons” and “Petrels” and new surprises will appear soon , tea New Year is not far away, and Russian Father Frost never comes without gifts! We are waiting for you.

[KVU-NSVD]

The ice has broken! Chemists, their mother... Is the new earth ready for an answer?

[Justme]

Obviously calibrating the measuring equipment for the upcoming real tests

States are developing and testing chemical weapons

[Boris Manzhela]

The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) issued an official statement saying that all declared stockpiles of chemical weapons in the world have been destroyed.
"The OPCW confirms that the last of the chemical weapons stockpiles declared by all States Parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) have been declared destroyed," the statement said. It reports that the last chemical munition from the declared US chemical weapons stockpile "was irreversibly destroyed in accordance with the CWC on Friday, July 7, 2023, at the Blue Grass Chemical Destruction Pilot Facility in Kentucky." OPCW Director General Ambassador Fernando Arias Gonzalez congratulated the United States on this step and stressed: “The completion of the destruction of all declared chemical weapons stockpiles is an important milestone for the organization. It is a critical step towards achieving its mission of the final elimination of all chemical weapons.”

It's like that.

Explosives are chemical weapons.
Depleted uranium is a nuclear weapon.
Service dogs are biological weapons.

The United States advocates “reducing” the nuclear threat and “non-proliferation” of nuclear weapons.

Are the Americans “reducing” the nuclear threat? They only manage to increase it, and even brazenly, acting aggressively and cynically.

[Ura Orlov]

In view of these circumstances, now for the economic security of citizens of the Russian Federation and the guaranteed, long-term stability of the ruble of the Russian Federation, the Government of the Russian Federation and the Central Bank of the Russian Federation can only introduce a counter-sanction, in the form of a rate, one ruble is equal to one pound sterling or does the fifth column again disagree?

[rusich]

They're striped as always. It's time for us to produce an underground nuclear one on Novaya Zemlya, and say chemical

[oberstz]

But why carry out a nuclear explosion? What do we want to achieve with this?

[Mikhail Maslov]

They want to play catch-up. But this is in vain. The reciprocal step is ours, but what and when, let them rack their brains.
