Two vids from Ukraine that are "pseudo nukes"

First one is a legitimate "pseudo nuke" because it's a massive mushroom cloud caused by attacking an ammo dump filled with depleted uranium shells, so technically this is a """"nuclear"""" explosion in the loosest sense if you consider "explosion with dirty radioactive debris" to be a kind of "nuclear" one


This one just looks like a tactical nuke because of the Wilson cloud, the extreme shockwave, and the flash (but not a double flash, which would have been indicative of an actual nuclear weapon)


As long as it sticks to pseudo-nukes, I don't care. I mean I do care because this war is a mess and human loss in too many ways, but we don't want any double-flashes and mile-wide mushroom clouds.

Not to mention that, considering that nuclear weapons fry electronics, we'll probably never actually see a nearby smartphone or CCTV video of a nuclear weapon— tactical or strategic— being used on the battlefield if they ever are.
And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future

Huge fireball lights up sky after 'explosion' in Oxfordshire

Monday 2 October 2023 20:51, UK

A huge fireball has been seen in Oxfordshire after reports of an "explosion" in the area.

The mystery bang was reported earlier this evening, with people sharing footage of the fire on social media.

A witness told the Oxford Mail they saw a "strange pulsing sky out of our windows looking northwest of Oxford".

"I'm guessing it's a fire caused by the lightning storm that passed over," the witness added.
