My father-in-law has got loads of these blighters all over his lawn (moles, not 'Russian Colonels' ;-)). I'll ask him to whack a few more with a shovel to see if they explode. |  |

Has he actually seen whatever us digging his lawn up? For all he knows it might be retired Russian colonels. If he disturbs them, they'll probably drink all his vodka. |  |

He's teetotal. But they do have a bottle of cooking brandy in the back of the cupboard that looks like it was last opened in the mid-70s. I'll tell them to hide it away.
Do 'Russian Colonels' ( ) like brandy? | |

What if your father in law is a Russian colonel? | |

You may be on to something there, as he does speak a strange unintelligible language.....  | |

The best way to achieve cut-price delivery of a nuclear weapon would be in the hold of a cargo ship in a major port. The results would be somewhat limited compared with an air-burst, but it gets around the problem of missile technology or smuggling the device into the country, while still dealing significant strategic damage. The British were sufficiently concerned about this to be examining the effects of such an event with their first independent nuclear test, Operation Hurricane, back in 1952.
Burying weapons off-shore would be virtually useless. Too far away to do much damage to anything important. Ports tend to be within river mouths.
Missile course corrections are commanded by computers, so more powerful computers can calculate intercept courses.
And the Russian spy ship will have been harvesting communications and radar data. Everybody does that kind of thing. [Post edited 9 Mar 2017 12:22]
