BONUS EPISODE: Fun Times With Soviet Weapons

I re-listened to this and went on Youtube looking for that Abrams. If you type 'airdrop' it autofills 'abrams tank flop', so I'm certain that footage was on there at one point

Actually the A-10 was the aircraft that was shot down the most in operation desert storm. The only thing the A-10 could do reliably was murder civilians and friendly troops alike

I remember going to the tank museum and seeing the TOG 2 years ago, but forgot how big it was!!!! It was such a bizarre tank!!

James Rhodes

The tank you're thinking about is the TOG and TOG2. It was fuckin massive.

Jose Jaimes-Ramos

Speaking of dumb weapons I recall that there was a tank designed in the inter-war years, that was terrible. Think world war 2 tank, but designed like a world war one tank. I think it was called MOG or something.

Double-tiered mushroom cloud would be a fun Halloween costume. Or wedding cake.

Have Milo come on and pronounce Russian in his cursed Trump voice

I have to say, listening to this podcast and Joe's appearance on WTYP talking about the Halifax Explosion while driving a tractor trailer through the night was absolute nightmare fuel. thanks for the content

That's just the fun part about the Teller-Ulam. You can just keep adding layers.

James Craft

Maybe he was thinking of the video of the Humvees falling from the sky.

Sean RD

Edward Teller's design for a 10 gigaton bomb which he actually proposed. There's also a story from a scientist at Los Alamos that says Teller had a blackboard with theoretical weapons including a multistage nuke that would basically just wipe out the whole fucking planet.

Anyone know where the video of them trying to parachute the M1A1 is? No luck through google :(
