I read the Simplicius post too. He's off base here. Two C130s aren't nearly enough carry weight for the amount of uranium we're talking about here. If the objective was the fuel, they'd have been better off poisoning it with an unreactive element of some kind or just blowing it up, which doesn't take a massive raid to do.
There is no real scenario where they were attempting a bank robbery trying to carry uranium out on a pallet cart or something.
And that's just the logistics part of moving something that heavy, doesn't even begin to address that it's fucking radioactive. No rad suits or rad gear were claimed on the scene by either side. And the Iranians certainly have a good reason to say so if they'd caught us doing that.
Sure. By itself. What about containment? Coolant? Rad suits? Or the fact that they brought half a company of spec ops guys they also still have to carry out of there?
Are they just carrying weapons grade uranium on a pallet jack in your scenario? I have four hazardous materials professional certifications dude, one of which is for radiological material.
Plain and simple. This did not happen. It wasn't even attempted. It would be beyond insane, actually it would be beyond cartoonish for this to have actually happened.
Shhh! Don't scare the lefties with things like logic, common sense & reasonableness! 😉
To claim THIS loss is harmful to taxpayers after the Biden Debacle? After the Obama Surrender? The Carter Chickenout? What a joke. I guess the goldfish will believe it though.
They may have been after something? But it wasn't uranium, they'd just blow that shiite to pieces if they knew where it was.

It's only 900 lbs. of uranium, dude.
