Comment Neutron Bomb Clarification Time People! (Score 2) 283

I'm getting sick and tired of all these damn misconceptions that Neutron/Enhanced Radiation bombs just kill people and leave buildings standing, ready for utilization by an occupying force.

GET THE $^@%$W%%^. FACTS STRAIGHT!

Neutron Bombs were researched and created as enhanced kill and area denial weapons, to use tactically against the advance of Warsaw / CommBLock Armoured columns in the anticipated invasion of Western Europe. The only to date fielded Neutron weapon is the W-70 Warhead for use in air-dropped tactical nuclear bomb (B-61)

With the specific design to roast russians through the armour of their tanks, and make a large section of real-estate too radioactively hot to cross.

These weapons do not just go *pop* like a toy, IT STILL YIELDS 20+ KILOTONS, UP TO 170kt, which is 10x greater than the Hiroshima Bomb.

ALRIGHT?! OKAY? Drop A neutron bomb and you still flatten the surroundings, and you make it unliveable for a good amount of time!!! GRRR.

(Makes you wonder about US doctrine in using these things in friendly German territory. If the Cold war had ever become hot)
