[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] A Mylar balloon? *must...stop...chuckling...* What if the wind changes? Yeah, I can see it now. Iran launches a nuke on a mylar balloon, meant for the U.S. Three days later, a shift in weather patterns and a storm bring the nuke down on Leningrad. Russia begins a diligent search, finds out the Iranians were to blame, because SOMEBODY is gonna let it slip that they goofed, ... and vaporizes Tehran. How much helium do you need to lift a pocket nuke? This sounds like the old saw about how you could make a missile invulnerable by polishing it or spinning it, neither of which would work against a high-end laser OR a kinetic weapon. [/QB][/QUOTE]
