Mini Nuke

"Are portable nuclear bombs used for terrorist attacks?"

A mini-nuke is a low-yield nuclear weapon, typically with an explosive force under five kilotons. Some models are so compact they can fit into a backpack, making them ideal for military operations and covert missions. In conspiracy myths, mini-nukes are often portrayed as superweapons employed by shadowy organisations or governments to achieve political aims or escalate conflicts. A notable example is the claim that they were used during the 9/11 attacks: according to these theories, the Twin Towers were not primarily brought down by the planes but by mini-nukes. Other myths warn of their potential use in future threat scenarios.
