OOC: Alright. This is going to be the unveiling of a new nuclear ballistic missile. It is invite/ask only and all secret IC. If you come here, then you must agree that you will not attack me or cause harm to my nation directly or indirectly because of having nuclear/ER missiles. The reason you cannot, is because it is to be considered that you coming here, supports nuclear armament. And it also states that none of this information maybe used ICly except by me, and those I give permission to. The following is a list of those already invited:

IC:
Превосходящий Military Installation, Somewhere In Northern Der Vaterland:

The room was filled with long tables covered in ornate decorations and food. Beverages were being handed out and drank. At the front of the room was the Czar, Czarina--in her arms, the Czarevicg--and the Czar's closest advisors: The Directors--head of the directorates. The head officials were all sitting at a single table. (OOC: The first invited people sit here aswell) They were all here for the same reason: To see the Кулак Царя (Czar's Fist) nuclear ballistic missile.

Der Vaterland had a long history of nuclear armemnt. During the Marxist era, they had nearly cause a nuclear holocaust, but after Fascists took control, their use of nuclear armaments and diminished greatly, but not the construction of said missiles.

Abruptly, the Czar stood. He raised his glass, tapping it gently with a soon,"Now the time has come. You are about to see what you are all waiting for." a large screen began to be lowered behind the fast front table. A projecter in the back of the large room started to flick on and a white light alligned with the screen. The lights dimmed, and film began to run on the screen telling the information:

Кулак Царя (Czar's Fist)
Power:
1) First Stage: 2.2 GN thrust SWAZ solid fuel motor;
2) Second Stage: Haken solid fuel motor;
3) Third Stage: Totem solid fuel motor,
4) Mirv Bus: Klavier restartable liquid fuel motor; storable hypergolic fuel
Length: 21.8 m
Diameter: 2.3 m
Mass: 87.75 Mg
Range: 9723 km
Guidance: Inertial (AIRS), 100 m CEP
Payload: 3950kg; enhanced radiation neutron fusion, nuclear fusion, or cobalt fusion

Variation A: Nuclear Fusion
Fusion bombs are based on nuclear fusion where light nuclei such as hydrogen and helium combine together into heavier elements and release large amounts of energy. Weapons which have a fusion stage are also referred to as hydrogen bombs or H-bombs because their fusion fuel is often a form of hydrogen, or thermonuclear weapons because fusion reactions require extremely high temperatures for a chain reaction to occur. Generally speaking, hydrogen bombs work by having a "primary" device (a fission bomb) detonate and begin the fusion reactions in the "secondary" device (fusion fuel). A virtually limitless number of large "secondaries" can be chained together (each fusion reaction beginning the next) in this fashion, creating weapons with far larger yields than could be achieved with simple fission alone.

VA (Variation A) is intended to be used to not only kill off the enemy, but also morally degrade them by having more structural damage to the surrounding areas. It is the standard version for all of The Confederate Nuclear Arsenal.

Variation B: Neutron Fusion/Enhanced Radiation
A final variant of the thermonuclear weapons is the Кулак Царя which is a thermonuclear weapon in which the burst of neutrons generated by the fusion reaction is intentionally not absorbed inside the weapon, but allowed to escape. The X-ray mirrors and shell of the weapon are made of chromium or nickel so that the neutrons are permitted to escape. This intense burst of high-energy neutrons is a highly destructive mechanism, although the bomb will still produce damaging thermal and shock effects, only with a lower magnitude than a standard thermonuclear weapon. Neutrons are more penetrating than other types of radiation so many shielding materials that work well against gamma rays are less effective against neutrons. They are also more biologically harmful than gamma rays, and this knowledge led some to envision a weapon that would do little physical damage while killing all the people in a certain area. This appears to be somewhat of an exaggeration, as the bomb would still create at least some significant blast and fire damage. The term "enhanced radiation" refers only to the burst of ionizing radiation released at the moment of detonation, not to any enhancement of residual radiation in fallout (as in the salted bombs discussed above).

Variation C: Cobalt Fusion/Enhanced Fallout:
The cobalt bomb uses cobalt in the shell, and the fusion neutrons convert the cobalt into cobalt-60, a powerful long-term (5 years) emitter of gamma rays. In general this type of weapon is referred to as a salted bomb and variable fallout effects can be obtained by using different salting isotopes. Gold has been proposed for short-term fallout (days), tantalum and zinc for fallout of intermediate duration (months), and cobalt for long term contamination (years). The primary purpose of this weapon is to create excess radioactive fallout making a large region uninhabitable.

The reason for the excess, is the fact that some of the Кулак Царя's are going to be placed into the Fractional Orbital Bombardment system. Thus, allowing The Confederacy to have first strike capabilities on any nation known to exist in the world. It allows The Confederacy and its allies nuclear superiority in all senses. Thus, through the use of the Кулак Царя, we can actively target the national enemies of the state, at any time.

Blake Woodman, a military advisor of the Upper Party who had been sent to attend the unveiling, stroked his chin and then raised his hand, waiting for permission to speak.

"Very impressive!", he remarked, raising his eyebrows. "One question; suppose one of these missiles was detonated, what kind of ecological damage would we be looking at? One could easily imagine one of these missiles would leave quite a bit of fallout behind, no? According to your calculations, for approximately how long would a targeted area remain irradiated after impact?"

To: The Fascist Confederacy
From: Emperor Nikolaos

I am interested in your Кулак Царя (Czar's Fist). It has great destructive power that all left wing nations will fear. NTG Corporations, the Hellenic Army, and I are interested in investing into this weapon and mass producing it for our WMD stockpiles. We can also work together on future WMD projects.

"Well Mr. Woodman, I'm guessing you're asking this in regards to Variation B. According my my advisors, a neutron explosive does 'less' structural damage to the surrounding areas, but emits a much larger amount of radiation and heat. It releases it immediately, and almost none after it is detonated, thus lowering the amount of time of fallout to one week. Two at the most. It is an extremely effective tactical weapon. But in high yeilds, looses its tactical advantage, and pretty much just turns into a doomsday device."

Dear Emperor,
I understand you have taken a liking to the Кулак Царя, as of now, they are being mass produced, and have been since roughly 1990. They are extremely reliable weapons and can smash commie opponents with ease. But, before I sell these, I must think it over and ask my advisors. I'am sure, if I do sell it, it wouldn't be called the same, and probably would only be enhanced radiation capable, but we still are specificly sure. Keep in touch, we probably will take up your offer.

Sincerely,
Czar Charles Hayden

Woodman nodded. "Ah. Such weapons are always the most useful for deterring enemies, but then, one would think, it would get quite a sizeable part of the world up in arms if used, no? Also, how large would the actual area of effect be, both for the radiation and the blast itself?"

"The blast from a 1kt explosive is 680m. Does that give you some hint? Thats only the affective range..."

"Fascinating." Woodman was silent for a moment, stroking his chin. "With such an immense area of effect, wouldn't that make it quite... cumbersome as a tactical weapon, as you couldn't really target a single nation let alone a single installation of military importance without effecting the entire regiom?" He paused. "It seems such a weapon would be quite difficult to use unless in a state of all out war with an entire regoin, or at least a huge enough nation."

"The use of Variation A--normal nuclear fusion--is effective tactically. It doesn't affect the entire region. Variation B--nuetron fusion--doesnt effect the entire region, it also has no residual radiation, thus meaning it has a short fallout. Now, Variation C--cobalt fusion--is in all senses of the word, a doomsday device, between 2-5kg of cobalt fused can take out the entire Amerian eastern coast in one foul swoop, leaving the entire area contiminated and inhabitable. But Variation B can be used with friendly troops relatively close. Aslong as they're outside of the roughly 700m killzone."

Woodman was silent once more, nodding to himself before speaking up again.

"I see. One more question: How much does one missile cost to produce, if material costs are taken into account?"
Fascist Confederacy
24-01-2005, 21:14
"When the project was started in 1990, it cost us upwards of a billion dollars to produce the first five missiles. Now, depending on which variation, it costs between 5-11 million Confederate Dollars."

I heard that Kaiser Alec Mannerheim wants 3 of those delivered to his house.

Very good missile.
