22 great ! "LONDON — The British government has distanced the incoming head of its foreign intelligence service from her grandfather following reports he was a Nazi spy known as “the butcher.”

Blaise Metreweli will, in the Autumn, become the first woman to lead MI6 in its 116-year-old history, the British government announced earlier this month.

The Daily Mail newspaper reported this week that her grandfather Constantine Dobrowolski defected from the Soviet Union’s Red Army to become a Nazi informant in the Chernigiv region of modern-day Ukraine.

The newspaper said German archives showed Dobrowolski was known as “the Butcher” or “Agent No 30” by Wehrmacht commanders."

Of course, no nazis in Ukraine ! Just Ukranian nazis. Now their progeny are to be in charge of all of UK's and by extension the US' secrets.

24 Morning, Saturday folk!

Willowed: We always hear about mermaids -- which I'd prefer to look at anyway, at least if they look like the original animated Ariel -- but there would have to be mermen if the race was to reproduce. Unless mermaids were spawned from Poseidon's forehead and are immortal, or very long-lived. Which would make them even lonelier than we've been shown that they are.

The old DC Comics during the Silver Age occasionally showed merfolk, both male and female, probably in Aquaman stories. Since I read that series very rarely, I think they may have showed up in Superman or Justice League tales too.

In Larry Niven's "Magic Goes Away" stories, he suggests that magical beings "breed oddly" when mana (the power behind magic) gets low, and that the merfolk evolved into . . . dolphins!

26 Stupid question time.

If there were a cavern or void in a solid rock mountain, and a MOP were to actually penetrate into the void...

Would there be a measurable difference in the seismic shock, compared to if the MOP failed to actually vent shock and pressure into the void?

I guess this is really a dumb question, because there would be no way that either US or Israeli forces could get a portable seismograph within 100 miles of that Iranian facility.

Right?

46 "That would require some sensitive instrumentation. The difference may be in milliseconds of shock onset."

Well...neither we nor the Israelis would ever be capable of developing instrumentation like that.

And with so many years of planning for the use of these MOPs, I doubt if anyone ever asked themselves if there were a BDA method that could be designed that would be deployable, to verify the success of such an attack.

That would be almost on the order of developing air dropped sonobuoys, or a SOSUS line sensitive enough to locate a sunk Russian sub.

The sound of an implosion or explosion followed by implosion can be used to locate the sub. You just need to apply the sonar equation to the deep sound channels and water temps + salinity. Get cross bearings from different sensors.

This is how the Soviet Golf-III sub partially raised by the Glomar Explorer was found, and that Argentine sub wreck was located.

70 "I'll bite. How does a sound array locate a sunken submarine sitting on the bottom presumably emitting no sound?"

Soviet K-129 sank in 1968.

SOSUS recorded the event, and through secret white-man voodoo magic sh*t, they were able to triangulate the location of the sunken sub.

The sinking itself generated detectable noise.

91 There is seismic data that is typically freely shared that could be analyzed for earthquake tracking. USGS would probably already have this data.

Neutron flux - source would be a nuclear reaction which would be unlikely since no critical mass.

Natural decay chain for uranium primarily involves alpha and beta emissions which are very easily attenuated by simple shielding.

Sealing off the underground facilities would provide a huge mass for shielding
