Great, thanks!

Anytime!

it's to symbiliys England. a strong pride beast who is both regal and ferocious. it symbiliys the English strength and beauty.

I don't believe there's been a detonation outside of the atmosphere. Simply because, why? If our knowledge of EMP is accurate, a testing like that would fuck up so much shit, it'd be far worse than an in-atmosphere test. They changed to underground detonations after the '63 treaty. Take a look at some pictures of Nevada or Siberian test sites, it's quite interesting.

The thing about modern nukes is that they're predominately "tactical" nukes. Where they are not made to lay waste to as large an area as possible, but to utterly buttfuck much more specific (and therefore smaller) areas. Such as missile silos, command and control centers, bunker systems, supply depots, etc. Targets that are in somewhat close proximity to friendly front-line troops. The area of effect is much smaller, but retains the lethality of a larger nuclear device.

Scratch that, there have been 17 nuclear devices detonated at high altitude/outer space. 9 of which qualify as "Outer space" detonations at heights above 100km.

And because I'm the curious kind of guy, by the "official" count of nuclear tests of nations that have made said tests(or at least made official statements saying so), there have been 2,075 nuclear test detonations to date.

None that i know of. Bikini Atoll is were a lot of the US testing was done. The Russians had their own testing site which i can't think of the name of off the top of my head. Look up the "Tsar Bomba" Its a 57 megaton hydrogen bomb detonated by the soviet union in 1961. It was 10 times as powerful as all the conventional explosives in WW2 combined.

Bikini Atoll, Eniwetok Islands, and the Johnston Islands were the main U.S. nuclear testing grounds in the Pacific, plus the Nevada desert for underground testing. Russia used the Siberian tundra and Novaya Zemlya island off their Northern coast for their nukes.

Well considering how it's a shitty, low-yield device if anything, it wouldn't. If the radioactive fallout fucked up everything (I assume you mean everything as in fuck the world up), we'd be fucking mutants right now. Before the Partial Nuclear Test Ban in 1963, we tested nukes in atmosphere, because what could go wrong? At 12 different sites there were at least 29 nuclear detonations, in-atmosphere. All of which were more powerful than the weapon North Korea could produce. Fallout isn't as scary as some people think, it becomes a major factor when it's fucking Armageddon and nukes are glassing the planet.

Oh. I was under the assumption that any modern nuclear devices could put the world in a nuclear winter a.k.a. fuck up everything, but I had no idea that North Korea had shitty nukes. It's funny how I come to a site to laugh, and yet I find out about nuclear capabilities... Now that we're on the subject, have there been any nuclear detonations outside of the atmosphere?
