A reminder that a week after Obama was awarded with the nobel peace prize , he was credited for a missile strike which slammed into a hamlet hitting one of the poorest tribes in Yemen. Shrapnel and fire left at least 41 civilians dead, including at least 21 children and 12 women.

Nuked?

Well yeah, look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjAJh7oXtiY

There was a better video of that (or another similar) explosion that showed the radiation effect on the camera much better.

But yeah, nukes in Yemen of all places. I mean, those people have nothing, so let's nuke them. Because.

Thanks.
But it looks like a Fuel air bomb.
Very nasty.
Atomic bomb explodes much faster than speed of air.
Neutron bomb does not even cause explosion, just radiation.

Also, it is utterly false to assert that a neutron bomb does not explode. It does, and usually has at least a 10-15kt yield, which is a pretty big boom.

The difference is that the tamper is different and neutron-transparent, and secondary fusion material, which is absent.

So it's a small nuke with lots of neutrons, but it does go BOOOOM.
