The Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle has hardly been an international sales success, thanks to poor hydrogen infrastructure, expense, and polarizing design, but it proved successful to Ukrainian forces which scavenged parts from the hydrogen car to create the world’s smallest hydrogen bomb.
It’s journalistic malpractice to not call it something that would differentiate it from a nuke. Simply calling it “a hydrogen cell bomb” or “a bomb fueled by hydrogen” would still be just as accurate and not imply it’s a nuke.
On the flip side, Ukraine detonating a nuke wouldn’t be something we’re discovering about on Yahoo Autos. That would be all over mainstream news everywhere.
