    Well that points out one of your faults Kiki. You jump to conclusions and don’t bother to understand what is said or think about the past. AGAIN I POSTED THE ARTICLE BECAUSE IT CONFIRMED WHAT I BELIEVED AT THE TIME. CAN YOU GET THAT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL???

    I suspect the answer's classified, but if not, how? And it probably would have been Space Command yelling at you. IconLOL.gif

    Not classified at all, we were blowing up so much shit, like literally tons of munitions in a single blast. Well one time we got a little ballsy and did like three bunkers at once. Whatever we did they didn't like it and we got correspondence from them very quickly saying "whatever you are doing... knock it off"!

    That's strange then. If it was Space Command yelling at you, the only thing I can think of is the large blasts were interfering with their signals from satellites. If that's the case then, they would have to been low flyers in my opinion.

    I can't tell you the details, not because they are classified but because I don't know. What I do know is we were making shit go boom at levels a combat engineer can only dream of and some government agency, maybe NORAD or Space Cmd I don't really remember but someone told us to cut it out. After that day we were limited to one bunker at a time.

    Since you asked. There was and I expect still is a system of satellites that measure large "explosions." Talking missile/rocket launches, or of course, nucs goin off. The rocket launch bit is early warning. I do not know the thresholds. I am sure the technology is light years from where it was in the 80s. Anyhow, expect that big blowup set off a bunch of trip wires. Some of you might remember, now, pretty long ago, a country not to be named was suspected of testing a nuc. Big surprise. Could have been detected by the same system.
