A nuke exploding 50 kilometers above the soil.

Just to create the shock wave.

Operation Shock and Awe.



About 50 kilometers above the soil... Can that thing arrive there without being detected and intercepted by Russia air defenses?

And what if it was launched from space, and so it came from above, dropping fast?


Shock and Awe.


Not much destruction, just the Shock and Awe...


Possibly a warning?

Possibly non-nuclear, since no radiation was detected...

Some new kind of weapon?

Excellent question! It would be the perfect retaliation for those pesky Ruskies who are returning to the gold standard and upsetting the petrodollar.

Launched from space, and dropping until it reached 50 kilometers above the soil, and then detonated?



The goal was to create a shockwave that could "freak out" Russians, without causing too much damage?

No.

The meteor was moving at speeds far, far greater than what our ICBMs are capable of today.

And there are no pieces of the meteor (thus far) because a lot of them, if not all, vaporized. If not, the smaller fragments were probably scattered so far and wide by the explosion that they won't ever be found.

Why do you think the Russian's quickly claimed to have shot the meteor down??? So the US don't get any ideas that their defense systems aren't up to par.

An ICBM would not have been so visible, especially from the front conical perspective. An ICBM also would not have had such a wide arc, they usually come in at a downward angle from way up high to avoid detection. Of course I understand your point is they wanted it to be detected, but still no rocket puts out that kind of brilliance from the front.

Also the brief twin smoke trails would not be common to an ICBM.

If you can send it flying at 20,000 miles per hour, then yes.

since when does feather weight black ash float down from a meteor that exploded 30-50 kilometers high
WITHIN 1 minute.


see: 1 min mark



the feather weight ash must have been moving at 0.5km per second which works out to (at 30km up) 1120 miles per hour (against air resistance)... IMPOSSIBLE. unless object lower than stated... and not a meteor, damned
