Would like to know more about Neutron bombs/weapons. Everyone knows a little about Hydrogen/Nuclear/Atomic bombs, but Neutron bombs are less commonly know. As far as the effects of Neutron bombs were they designed from the start to keep infrastructure intact (or is that a myth) is there less radioactive fallout? Do they really tend to leave buildings, structures, and vehicles more or less intact? Are there a stockpile of these weapons available and would a terrorist group or aspiring nation like North Korea and the like be able to develop and use this type of weapon.
The same could be asked about Fuel+Air weapons. Are they useful in a tactical sense and are they considered to be an option just below nuclear? What is the best scenario for their usage? Can anyone give an ideal scenario where this type of bomb would be the best choice? And yield, compared to a small nuke?
Are fuel air bombs more difficult to deliver (must the airspace be controlled....do they have to be air detonated?) or can a nation like North Korea put one on a missile or a barge? would a weapon of mass destruction aspiring nation like North Korea find it easier to try and develop a nuke or EPM type of device instead?
Just wanted to get some facts about Neutron Bombs and Fuel Air Weapons because it seems that there is less known about them. (effects, usefulness, development)
