RE: That bomb... :)

Yeah, I remember when the Soviets were kicking our western butts in the space race, largely with vacuum tube technology. That speaks volumes for Russian vacuum tube technology.

From what I understand, the Russia military up until at least pretty recent times, had tube fired radios and radars, even in their jet fighters. Some in the west thought that was pretty backwards. However, in case of nuclear exchange, they'd have the only working radios and radars, because of the effect of EMP on solid state. Thank god that never happened, on so many levels, at least so far.
