Smoke

Streamers released after the bomb because you should celebrate any time you get to nuke your enemy.

I've always assumed they're smoke trails so you can see how the blast moves, you see them in a lot of test vids.

source: my ass

Smoke trails from rockets as a reference for judging the size of the explosion.

>>32652227
They are trails from rockets used to measure the shockwave on film

>>32652227
Smoke from rockets so they have a visual cue of the blast and shockwave

>>32652227
smoke rounds they used to zero the gun, make sure it would actually land in the area they wanted

They are smoke indicators, launched during the detonation to observe the effect of the blast visually.

That's terrifying

fucking cool

Stretch marks

This is the correct answer. They used the trails to measure the speed/shape/energy of the blast wave.

>>32652227
I always thought it were a bunch of warming flares they shot before they dropped the nuke, not that that made any sense but the shock wave measuring thing is pretty cool.

>>32654703
warming the air before the nuke seems counter intuitive but your the boss boss

>>32652243
Saw a show about nukes about 25 yrs ago and this was mentioned. Sounding rockets that leave contrails so they can visually measure shockwaves.

You ask this like every month and I tell you the same thing every month. Are you suffering blows to the head?
