Enjoy. Or not.

Thanks, quite interesting stuff that I hadn't heard of before.

One question about the bomblets though:

"In the core was a 2 kg uranium sphere; it was jacketed by a higher
density shell of high explosive. This combination would produce an
explosive yield equivalent to 5.1 tons of TNT."

Uranium? I might buy plutonium, but 2 kg seems way low for uranium,
even with a ferocious amount of compression. And the pit, at least in
the drawing, looks solid rather than hollow, which would lessen the
amount of compression.
