Sir Guppy.
A long time ago I saw the russian VC10 arrive at Heathrow, as the plane slowed a prop came out of tail end. The russian engines were so heavy the plane would sit on it's back end. Armed guard on the door just in case we stole their technology.!!One of us
I think there is only one nation that will not hesitate with using nuclear weapons against another state... And we all know which one it isGalaxar
So this is a FAKE article created by the media team of Reaction Engines to try to drum up some investment. At least the Russia / WW3 scare is a new one for them - they've been trying to tell everyone that they could take over the satellite launch business for years - even though the development costs alone would outweigh the benefits even if the could capture 100% of the market. Desperate publicity lies.Quentin Reece
But they will have no base to fly back to as total annihilation will follow! If the Russian's are indeed developing this I can imagine Uncle Sam is two step ahead already. They've things fling around the globe for a while now if you're to believe the press. It will always be a case of cancelling each other out - IMHOstanlake
Hope idiots like Corbyn who want to do away with our nuclear deterrent are taking note.Leno
All this effort and money to murder, yes it is murder, billions of people. What is wrong with these power crazed politicians the world over.ZIDZNOT
The USA has the Aurora pulse engine project which has been kept heavily under wraps for decades, plus the UK has it's own secret propulsion system developments......What Russia has is nothing special, it's just that they have stuck their head over the parapet.....!tom
the usa and the western powers are to blame for this, they keep trying to push russia in a corner, of course they can fight back and will some day.foghorn leghorn
I saw a program on the Yesterday channel recently, it said Russian scientists put forward a program in the 50s to build an H bomb so big on a ship with that much fissionable material on board; it would wipe out all life on earth it was designed to trigger automatically if there was any radiation fall out detected over Russia . Even premier Khrushchev declined to implement it.Barry CentricReply tofoghorn leghorn
Sounds like you overheard someone talking about the file "Dr. Strangelove" when you were a kid and thought they were talking about something real. Actually after about 50 Megatons TNT equiv, H bombs are less effective. This is because they blast a layer of the atmosphere into space. 50MT and under keep the explosive effect in the atmosphere (i.e. the explosive force bounces back to earth and is not wasted in space). So while easy to do (just put lots of fusionable material around a standard H bomb) there is really no point in making a very large H bomb.
