What kind of weapons do we have now?

sbucksgal

nuclear weapons are still by far the most powerful weapons that we have. these weapons, however, have advanced greatly from the time that they were first created (40-50 yrs ago). The nuclear weapons that we have now are probably 10-20 times more powerful than those earlier. We also have combined new nuclear weapon techniques with the increased power. The weapons are small, more powerful, and more inexpensive to produce. The only concept that constitutes a weapon as nuclear is the fact that an atom is being split or formed.

well, aside from the nukes I'm pretty sure we still have around, there are the fuel-air mix bombs like the MOAB.

A SECRET WEAPON MORE POWERFUL THAN THE ATOMIC BOMB.

On 30th June 1908 a cataclysmic explosion, more powerful than any in human history even to the present day, occurred high above the remote northern wilderness of Siberia at Tungusta. In an explosion equivalent to fifteen million tonnes of TNT, five hundred thousand square acres of land, an area the size of a major city such as Moscow, had been instantaneously and completely destroyed.[1]

A number of credible and incredible theories have been proposed to explain the famous Tungusta blast of 1908 but, in the century that has passed since the event, scientists have been unable to find evidence
to support any of the explanations proposed. At the time, a famous scientist named Nikola Tesla claimed responsibility for the incident, but inexplicably this fact has never received the publicity or
attention that it seems to deserve. Tesla had been performing successful experiments with a new military technology for the wireless transmission of large quantities of energy via radio-waves. Following
the great Tungusta blast Mr Tesla expressed great relief that no one had been killed by his experiment. He decided that his experiments were too dangerous to continue and immediately dismantled his
machine.[2]

Numerous serious reports reveal that various other scientists were also conducting successful experiments in wireless energy transmission around 1908, often causing large controlled explosions using remote devices. For example, in August 1913 the eminent French physicist Signor Giulio Ulivi impressed an audience of high-ranking French naval officers in a demonstration of his "death-ray" technology by exploding mines in the port of Trouville.[3]

In an interview about his super-weapon, Tesla once said:

"My invention requires a large plant, but once it is established
it will be possible to destroy anything, men or machines,
approaching within a radius of 200 miles. It will, so to speak,
provide a wall of power offering an insuperable obstacle against
any effective aggression."

There is disturbing evidence that the U.S. Military are conducting new experiments with Tesla's wireless energy transmission technology. A basic web search for keywords such as "Tesla" and "coils" reveals that hobby physicists throughout the world are playing with Tesla's technology on a small scale in their garden sheds, as hundreds of personal home pages proudly attest.[4] The HARP project, located at an
American military base in Alaska, is rumored to be developing a modern device on a vast scale for transmitting huge payloads of energy to distant locations.[5] In theory the HARP weapon could be used to transfer more energy than a nuclear explosion to a precisely focused point anywhere on Earth. A nuclear missile takes time to travel to its target, carries a limited amount of energy, and can be shot down. Tesla's wireless transmission technology strikes at the speed of light, is invisible, unstoppable, and can release an amount of energy that is unlimited except by the size of the power plant where the device is operated.

When Tesla died the U.S. Government seized all of his papers and equipment! Tell me they didn't continue his research???

To Repinsymra: It has never been proven to be a cosmic impact. There was no impact crater. Scientist have theorized that the comet or asteroid exploded in the air a couple of miles above ground. However there have been no other documented cases of this happening.

Also: The Wardenclyffe Tower

Oliver Nichelson suggested that the Tunguska explosion may have been the result of an experiment by Nikola Tesla using the Wardenclyffe Tower, performed during one of Robert Peary's North Pole expeditions.[38][39][35] It should be noted that Admiral Peary did not leave New York until July 6, 1908, six days after the Tunguska event.

To Repinsymra: Read the entire Wikipedia entry the man was already transferring power wirelessly. Discovered the resonance frequency of the earth and created and earthquake in New Your City! He didn't care about money and tore up a contract with George Westinghouse that would have made him the worlds first billionaire.

Well, there's always the threat of biological weapons. While not exactly new, (I heard about people launching their sick over walls to infect the other guys long time ago) with biotechnology we have more control over them. Theoretically you could wipe out a significant percentage of the world's population with the right kind of disease.

Tungusa was caused by a comet, by most reseachers.
Weapons of Mass destruction are out ther by the Big Boys, and quite refined, remember all the research from the 50's thru the 70's. Lots of missing atolls and craters in the the desert to prove it. The Military seem to be evolving into a more precise and surgical form of warfare now. UAV's and the like, F-22 and 35, able to defeat most radar. Smart bullets....and now light bending capablities to soon be used by snipers. WMD's seem to be there as a last resort....Doomsday devices.

To BIGWORM: quote.....from the internet

Tesla's fame rivaled that of any other inventor or scientist in history or popular culture,[7] but due to his eccentric personality and his seemingly unbelievable and sometimes bizarre claims about possible scientific and technological developments, Tesla was ultimately ostracized and regarded as a mad scientist.[8][9] Never having put much focus on his finances, Tesla died impoverished at the age of 86.

Sound like a man that invented a "super weapon", a comet sounds much more viable, 1908 we barely had horseless carriages....let alone instruments capable of blasts greater than nukes, whereas the comet could certainly deploy energies like that. But all of this is speculation, as proof for either is impossible.

You seem to have overlooked one little goody: the neutron bomb. This is the little beauty that wipes out everything that is controlled by computers all over the world by scrambling up their
electronic circuits and turning their "brains" into mush, so that everything they control grinds to a halt.

Oh yes, there is also the "cobalt bomb."
This is the one that doesn't destroy anything when it explodes. It merely spreads a large dose of radioactivity over a very large area, thus sentencing every living thing in that area to a slow, agonizing death from massive radioactive poisoning.
