Absolutely Not So!
The H-Bombs are slowed by parachutes so the bomber can get away. The outside
temperature for a B-52 at operating altitude over Russia would likely be at
least minus 60 degrees F.
Major T, since he was wearing an indoor uniform, would become a solid block of
ice before the bomb went off so his TOD has a variance of time between when
became a solid chunk of ice and the time of instant defrosting. This could be
30 to 60 seconds. Totally un-acceptable accuracy for even the cadet grade
newbe time-nut ;)
Why, anyone accepting such an error would have to answer to the Coca Cola
company distributor at Burpelson Air Force Base.
