oh good, between this and hypersonic suborbital kinetic bombardment, we're really starting to see some of the weapons ww3 will be fought with! what fun!
it's not much worse than usual explosives
somewhere around better ethylene oxide or some shit, at the worst.
it's all journalism over-hyping (with hydrogen bomb naming), there are myriads of explosives which are just too expensive to use (either due to corrosiveness, instability on decade scales, difficulty in industrial handling etc)
firebombs and oreshnik aren't much worse than usual explosives
that's what i was expecting at first.
if this last part is true, then they've overcome the industrial handling hurdle and can produce it at scale. i dunno if this one is just over-hyping.
it was produced at that scale cause it has (had?) fuck all uses tbh, aluminium hydride is kinda samey but has very chemically friendly partners for use in synthesis, so is produced
so you're saying it will be relatively simple for other countries to do the same thing?
if it's not overhyping usefulness and scale, i suspect so, they do direct synthesis under pressure seems like, so not very exotic, just wildly expensive.
i think their diamond production is much more poggers, cause it's harder to do and in the west diamond lobby do be existing
