Hydrogen bomb, that’s irresponsible journalism really.
Second sentence in the article clarifies that it wasn’t a thermonuclear device.
400lbs explosive is less than standard 500lbs bomb. The title makes it clear tbh
I mean, it’s a bomb fueled by the hydrogen fuel cell in the vehicle. Not sure what else you would call it when trying to differentiate it from something a traditional car or one made from a truck filled with ammonium nitrate.
Yes the term Hydrogen Bomb also refers to a thermonuclear device, but the same two word term han have different, yet similar, meanings.
A hydrogen bomb is a thermonuclear weapon, so almost anything other than that.
Hydrogen is a very simple atom, so how about cslling it the atom bomb?
edit: /s
And why would Yahoo Autos be where you found out Ukraine detonated a thermonuclear weapon in Russia?
The internet was a mistake. Everyone lost the ability for critical thinking or to even look where an article is from apparently.
It’s journalistic malpractice to not call it something that would differentiate it from a nuke. Simply calling it “a hydrogen cell bomb” or “a bomb fueled by hydrogen” would still be just as accurate and not imply it’s a nuke.
no one says hydrogen bomb referring to conventional arms. it’s not a thing.
no one says hydrogen bomb referring to conventional arms.
Bold claim, considering you’re posting in a thread where the article does exactly that. 🤣
I’d also say a majority of people also don’t know the term in relation to nuclear weapons either. The average person is extremely uneducated about anything nuclear. They don’t know what differences between the original bombs the US dropped and modern nuclear weapons weapons might be. Even post-Oppenheimer film.
Differentiating between Nuclear and Thermonuclear weapons is something pedants in online forums do, not normies in the real world.
note for anyone scrolling by: not a nuke, just hydrogen-air explosion
Well at least somebody found a use for a Mirai. Props to the Ukrainian military for an explosion in their creativity.
