Whomp whomp motherfuckers!
Slava Ukraine!!!
Yeee haaaaw
Some did the math on another thread, but 2.8 earthquake -> 240tons TNT -> 2.4KT nuke
240 tons of TNT is 0.24 kT, not 2.4 kT.
1500T TNT is equivalent to 15KT and then 240KT is 16% of 1500. Comes out to 2.4KT?Ignore me, all wrong.
No, 1500 T = 1.5 kT.
Oh ya I’ve made a big mess of this. Oops. Thanks for the correction.
I was reading it as 1500TNT is equivalent to a nuke with a 15KT yield. Totally wrong:
Rudenya, the governor of Russia’s Tver region, […] said wreckage from a destroyed Ukrainian drone had sparked a fire, but did not say what was burning.
“It was our own incompetence and graft that destroyed us, not our enemies! Take that!”
Excellent work.
