China Ready For WW3? Tests Non-Nuclear Hydrogen Bomb | 1,000°C Fireball Lasts 15x Longer Than TNT

China has reportedly tested a cutting-edge, non-nuclear hydrogen bomb built from magnesium hydride, generating a searing fireball over 1,000°C that lasted 15 times longer than traditional TNT. Developed by researchers at China’s 705 Research Institute, this new explosive tech could reshape future battlefield weapons, mimicking thermobaric effects. The bomb offers precise control, extreme heat, and widespread damage potential. The successful test, revealed in a Chinese journal, hints at Beijing’s rapid military innovation. Mass production of the explosive compound has also begun, signaling broader deployment plans ahead. #China #HydrogenBomb #NonNuclearWeapon #FireballWeapon #MilitaryTech #MagnesiumHydride #ChinaMilitary #TNT #ExplosionTest #WarfareTech #DefenseNews #SouthChinaMorningPost #Thermobaric #WeaponsDevelopment #HeatWeapon #NewExplosives #GlobalSecurity #NuclearAlternative #CSSC #ChinaWeaponTest Also Read 3.4 magnitude quake detected in North Korea :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/3-4-magnitude-quake-detected-north-korea-2549454.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump says military action would certainly be an option against North Korea :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-says-military-action-would-certainly-be-an-option-2538896.html?ref=DMDesc Why the nuclear test by North Korea is terrifying for the world :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/why-the-nuclear-test-by-north-korea-is-terrifying-for-the-world-2535869.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.102~GR.121~HT.410~

Trump Tariffs Spare Russia And North Korea, Target Allies And Even Antarctic Penguins | Details

President Trump’s sweeping global tariff plan has left allies stunned and adversaries relieved. While nations from Europe to Asia face a new 10% baseline tariff, even remote islands inhabited only by seals and penguins weren't spared. Yet, Russia and North Korea escaped penalties—despite ongoing tensions. The White House says sanctions make trade “meaningless,” but US-Russia commerce still surpasses many nations on the tariff list. With 34% on China and 17% on Israel, Trump’s second-term strategy appears to punish friends while repositioning rivals as future partners. #TrumpTariffs #USRussiaRelations #NorthKorea #TradeWar #Trump2025 #GlobalEconomy #TariffPolicy #PenguinsTaxed #RussiaExempt #TrumpNews #WhiteHouse #Putin #TrumpPutin #UkraineCrisis #USAllies #TrumpSecondTerm #Geopolitics #TradeTensions #TariffsExplained #InternationalTrade

U.S-Iran War Soon? U.S Redeploys Patriot, THAAD Missile Systems From Asia to Middle East [Video]

U.S-Iran War Soon? U.S Redeploys Patriot, THAAD Missile Systems From Asia to Middle East

Iran War: The US is moving Patriot PAC-3 and THAAD missile defense systems from South Korea to the Middle East, a major shift as tensions with Iran rise. This is the first known redeployment of USFK assets to another region. With stealth bombers, aircraft carriers, and aerial assets repositioned, the Pentagon aims to strengthen deterrence against Iranian threats. The move follows Trump’s ultimatum to Tehran over its nuclear program. Experts suggest this is either a prelude to conflict or high-stakes brinkmanship as missile forces in Iran go on high alert. #USMilitary #MiddleEastTensions #IranConflict #MissileDefense #THAAD #PatriotMissiles #USFK #TrumpUltimatum #DefenseShift #MilitaryDeployment #PAC3 #StealthBombers #DiegoGarcia #IranMissiles #THAADSystem #USIranTensions #Geopolitics #WarDrums #Brinkmanship #SouthKoreaDefense ~ED.346~HT.410~
