Nuclear missile defense is futile.

[Rally]

No nukes exist that can explode without a collision

the collision happens within the device using an internal explosive

No nukes exist that can explode without a collision

that's not how nuclear weapons work at all

that's not how most explosives work, actually

then show me how I'm wrong

show me a nuke that doesn't have a trigger that activates when it collides with the ground

little boy didn't collide with the ground, nukes just aren't as effective that way

It exploded 500 meters over the ground in the center of Hiroshima, thanks to an internal timer mechanism.

That way, it was able to do more damage than just excavating a 3 mile radius around the town square.

I did but I missed that

can you show me a nuke that does require it to hit the ground? because that's not how nuclear reactions work

nuclear weapons are (like many other conventional explosives) airburst to maximize damage against the affected area
