We will now definitely have these dumb missles!

This has to be the only time he’s been able to make the claim that his is bigger and it be true.

Fallout from Russia's mysterious missile disaster suggests a nuclear reactor blew up

Quote

A mysterious explosion at a Russian weapons testing site earlier this month released various radioactive isotopes, creating a cloud of radioactive gases that swept across a nearby town, the country's state weather agency said Monday, and experts said the mixture removes all doubt about what blew up.

 

The deadly August 8 blast at the Nyonoksa military weapons testing range released a handful of rapidly decaying radioactive isotopes — strontium-91, barium-139, barium-140, and lanthanum-140 — which have half-lives ranging from 83 minutes to 12.8 days, the Roshydromet national weather and environmental monitoring agency said in a statement on test samples.

If they put out a statement saying that the radiation levels maxed out at 3.6 roentgen then I'm going to get really concerned.
