Are drones flying over New Jersey looking for a nuclear bomb?

The biggest issue with the video is that radiation follows the “Inverse Square Law” meaning that if you double your distance from the source and the radiation goes down by a factor of four.

This means that a drone, even with measuring equipment would have to be very close to the radioactive source for it to register. There is a reason why radiation detectors at ports have to be so close to shipping containers.

This would make it very difficult for a drone - even a low flying drone to detect a radioactive source, especially one that was well shielded. Nuclear weapons are shielded and difficult to detect from their natural decay. An unshielded device could possibly kill their crews.

It is also highly unlikely that Russia would allow a nuclear weapon to “go missing” much less 80 of them while it was at war in Chechnya.

The United States does not want war with Russia. This is a clue that John Ferguson has been consuming too much Russian media.

This video was shared and viewed almost 30 million times by @joerogan and @MilaLovesJoe. Shame on both of you for not using critical thinking or understanding basic high-school science.

Regarding START. I mispoke. START stands for Strategic Arms Reduction Talks. SALT was the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks.

Looking for the perfect PRO-TRUMP gag gift?

Funny, you know now that I think of it, did you have to wear a TLD if you were close to a nuclear weapon?
