Egypstan has launched a new nuclear missile with success. It's called the Nuclear Driller.

The Nuclear Driller is a nuclear missile that is specially designed with the front 4' of it as a drill.

When it is comes in impact, it waits for 25.2 seconds before it detonates, as it drills its way into the ground.

When tested, we has a concrete block, 45 ft deep, 120'x120' WxL. It drilled its self 9.47' into the block before exploding. The block, which was on the island we tested our last nuclear missile on, was built into the ground. The block, along with another 32.1' in depth, and a circle with a circumphrance (sp?) of about 183.5'. The island has no life on it now.

OOC: This could be interesting.

Err, you know, for a nuclear weapon to achieve max destruction its supposed to be detonated a mile, for missile or bomb, lower for ardy shells, over its intended target...you know, a mile. up, in the air?

Nukes on the ground arent all that useful....and a bunker buster nuke...well, nevermind

Good shot though

*starts the clock to see how long until someone goes spastastic becasue Egypstan made a new nuke....*

You have 45 RL minutes to repeal this, Egyptstan.

We did not know you had a driller missile. But, I do not believe you can copyright all concepts of nuclear drill missiles. Tell us specs on Rona Class.

Specs on Nuclear Driller:
2 megaton nuclear missile
12' long
4' driller
Launches from ground-and-ship silos.
8,000 mile range
Can be fitted with AST technology (stealth)
Within 4.3' of target upto 6,000 miles, within 7.3' of target with 8,000 miles.

I don't think a concept constitutes prior art, and I doubt you could copyright such a vague concept anyway.

What are you, Apple? :lol:

I know. We're working on making nuclear missiles that can rip into the ground, exploding underneath the target, and blowing up the ground (such as a city...), along in nuclears missiles that, at the same time, can take out an area underground (subways, underground facilities for whatever, bunkers that are used to protect upper officials of a nation from an attack, etc).

Well, Airbursts still leave a nice crater :)

And i seriously hope people dont go ballisitc this time

OOC: you know I have never seen a test of a missle that failed before. Just something I have noticed.

Nice Earthquake bomb. Egypstan how much will it cost to purchase the plans to this weapon.

This is only the first one we made. We are working to improve it before we work on the figures on the 100% production-and-war ready missiles. Give us 3 or 4 RL days and I can let you know. :-)

I know... :-) But, we're working on new types of nuclear weapons...

And, I agree...

Rona Class Nuclear Missile

Fittable with any warhead, WMD or conventional
18' length
5'6'' drill bit
Launches underground and from certain submarines
10,000 mile range
Nuclear battery
Completely underground, so (in theory) unstoppable and undetectable
Fills tunnels to prevent collapse
550' accuracy
Creates sinkhole in ground to crush and compact targets

OOC: Nice idea Egpytsian! Try a new one with compressed hydrogen, you'll get better, but less lethal results.

OOC@TBD: Don't pull that bull on him. You just posted that topic after he posted his nuclear drill topic. What a low and horrible way to try to stop another nation.

Again, don't pull that bull. You "copyrighted" the idea after he posted his nuclear drill idea.

Everyone check the post time on the thread in his forums and the thread here. Notice the difference?

Yeah, about four hours.

Must be timezone difference.

This thread:
http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=147705
Shows TBD mentioning his missile a few hours before this thread was started. Looks like he did make the things first, but I still don't think you can claim prior art on all possible drill-missiles as a concept.

Well, it shows to me that this thread was made at 9:56PM and that was at 10:28PM.

Besides, people have used the drilling missle/bomb idea before. Tut tut, you don't own the copyright after all!

They never copyrighted it. :roll:

But it's been used before and you can't just stop nations from using it.

I'm warning you (Check my population! I'm a year old!), have some common sense or a few 3 billion population nations will be on your tail about it.

TBD, your is fired into the ground, drilling through it. Ours is launched like a conventional missile, but from where it strikes, in goes into the ground a few feet.

I see. My bad, mistrail.

Kamata, come off a little nicer, willya?

Tehe, sorry, but it just ticks me off a bit when I see petty fights about this kind of stuff. It's not that the technology worries me, as my new base will be capable of sending it off in the opposite direction at nearly mach 12, but it ticks me off to see space wasted about false copyright issues, etc.

Well, I didn't know his was so radically different.

How are you going to drive a fully underground nuclear missile away? Not that I'm going to attack you but...
