Dv7's trivia thread!

[alecrromine]

here is your problem, there is more than one compound used depending on the manufacturer.

TBX (a thermobaric explosive) is defined as “a partially detonating energetic material with excess fuel (gas, solid or liquid) dispersed and mixed into air with subsequent ignition and reaction achieved in time and in place for added gain of energy, blast and heat.”

yes, many different explosive compounds are used in ordnance. however, i asked specifically about the power source of a pg7 warhead. i should have clarified electrical power source

who is the man credited with preventing a russian sub from firing a nuclear tipped warhead at a US vessel during the cold war? presumably if the sub fires at the US boat it would have led to an all out nuclear war. so I'll rephrase the same question. who is the man credited with saving the world as we know it?
