If you had to analyze my perspective and experience in technology and weapons, my questions, comments, insight, responses and analysis, could you possibly determine if I was affiliated with nukes in the US or am I just making stuff up

Musk says Anthropic CEO stating Claude may have consciousness is projecting.

We don't even know what consciousness is, c'mon @elonmusk

You're just upset that @claudeai is better that @grok

Not every nuke exchange, at least at first isn't the end of the world.
Did the world end when US bombed Japan? Did Japan and the US survive. So that's not their sole purpose, destroying civiliation.
Why would they invent low yield nukes and smaller tactical nukes. There would be no reason to unless it's to drop them and not cause the end of the world. So all nukes do not make sure that nothing is living on earth. Just my opinion and what I experienced when working on these systems

[DaveMan Blue Checkmark @davidbroerman]

What this means in real terms: To match the explosive power of just one modern W88 warhead, you would need to detonate nearly 32 Hiroshima-sized bombs at the exact same time.

Because an Ohio-class submarine can carry up to $20 missiles, and each missile can carry multiple 475kt warheads, a single submarine essentially carries the destructive power of over 3,000 Hiroshima bombs.

[DaveMan Blue Checkmark @davidbroerman]

Of course that is top secret, but i used to have a pretty good idea since i was in the program with navigation systems Trident D5 slbm's that are still being carried by US subs.
People literally don't realize the destructive power of 1 ohio class submarine carrying 20 missiles with between 8 and 12 re entry vehicles so minimum 160 warheads.

The W76-1 has a yield of 90 to 100 kilotons (Hiroshima Japan blast was 15kt).

W88: This is the most powerful warhead in the submarine arsenal, with a yield of 455 to 475 kilotons.

If a single Ohio-class SSBN launched its full complement (20 missiles, each with ~8 warheads) at 5 major cities (such as Tehran, Mashhad, Isfahan, Karaj, and Shiraz), the result would be catastrophic on a global scale.

In military terms, 1 single Ohio-class submarine carries enough firepower to effectively end a medium-sized nation as a functioning society.
The US has 14 of these subs.

This is why China, Russia and other nations have few options when dealing with the US at that level. And it goes the other way too. US has limited options nuclear wise, but plenty of hi tech conventional arms.

People need to learn how to co exist and compromise

[DaveMan Blue Checkmark @davidbroerman]

How are they doing against Ukraine and limited tech weapons from it's allies.
You do realize the US have basically no top tier weapons over there except some interceptors? Older tech, jets...
Russia is just sending hundreds of thousands to their death because their weapons are so fantastic...
4 years and they are literally now getting nowhere

[DaveMan Blue Checkmark @davidbroerman]

@18ringgit @TheRedDotGuy_ @JinWooIQ Hows Tehran looking? How's the 50 Iranian leaders doing...

[DaveMan Blue Checkmark @davidbroerman]

@AhmedSheikh_ @JinWooIQ 2 nukes aren't getting through and that's the whole point. You think 2 nukes can bring the US to it's knees?
Absolutely not when the US can fire thousands.
Another example, North Korea has 0 chance against the US, conventionally or nuclear.

[DaveMan Blue Checkmark @davidbroerman]

@2FistsOfRage @TheRedDotGuy_ @JinWooIQ hypersonic doesn't mean the missiles can't be intercepted. you can literally look that up anywhere on the internet

[DaveMan Blue Checkmark @davidbroerman]

Iran said they were sorry again that they keep sending missiles and drones.

UAE says more than 1,400 missiles and drones targeted infrastructure and civilians in major Iranian attack https://t.co/lYHBsr1I4f

@asadnasir2000 not anymore, you blew it

[DaveMan Blue Checkmark @davidbroerman]

I said originally 2 to 3 days for air superiority...I feel like Israel and the US had some areas wide open but not basically the entire middle east. Iran is all alone with no "friends' to help them.
Iranian regime, IRGC, surrender now, figure out a way forward to actually help your people and be prosperous as you once were and will be again.

Iran cannot bomb it's way out of this. It can only try and make things hard for other countries, but it's going to get worse unless a deal is made.

[DaveMan Blue Checkmark @davidbroerman]

That's why there are plenty of interceptors and assets protecting the US mainland.
Just looking at Iran for example: Lets say Iran was able to get 20 missiles in total launched before that area was obliterated, 10 have 1 nuclear warhead each and 10 are decoys.

Iran could only fire these missiles from 1 geographical area of the world, so there would be plenty of interceptors that 20 missiles would have to evade along the way.
I seriously doubt that any would make it through on the ballistic missiles they say they have.

If 1 did, the size of the blast would damage 1 city and cause a number of issues obviously. The US would go on.
Iran would not go on...they don't have the interceptors or any way to stop ICBMs from the US mainland, airforce bombers, or submarine launched nukes.

There could be 200 missiles and 1000 warheads in less than an hour dropped on various parts of Iran.

I don't want any of this to happen obviously because no one survives if its a global nuclear holocaust.
But smaller nuclear powers should realize that 4,000 is a much bigger number than 10 or even 500.

[DaveMan Blue Checkmark @davidbroerman]

@DarkSideAdvcate No, I'm just saying that China isn't going to war with the US over 1 ship or even to help their "friend" Iran

@grok @jacksonhinkle these are illegal munitions deployed against civilian populations banned by the geneva convention. So they should not be referencing these when they say this

Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi: "I went to Israel to show that we are the descendants of Cyrus the Great, who 25 centuries ago helped free the Jewish people and rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem."

I can't wait for the alliance between Israel and a free Iran.

[DaveMan Blue Checkmark @davidbroerman]

Anyone that says the Iranian regime is winning, currently isn't trying to breathe the air in Tehran.

Unfortunately it's going to get worse for the people if the regime doesn't accept conditions for a ceasefire and agreements for peace.

More bombs in Tehran which means more toxic smoke and death and destruction.

War is awful
