Toyota should add "can become a mini-nuke" to their sales pitch. I'm sure they'll get at least half of NCD with that alone.

It was not a nuclear explosion, that would be insane. Pure hydrogen is highly explosive, which is why it's suitable for a combustion vehicle like the Mirai.

Mirai isn't a combustion vehicle, it has a fuel cell that generates electricity via a chemical reaction.

That is true in the case of the mirai, but hydrogen can also be used in combustion engines, though at a much lower efficiency.

At first I thought it was NCD memery, e.g. “Ukrainian soldiers cobble together a nuke from a car they find lying around” so imagine my surprise when I see it’s a real headline. Even though “hydrogen bomb” is technically correct, it certainly made me do a double take. I wonder if that choice of words was intentional.

First, I didn't see that it was coming from NCD, and I thought it was a real news. I was really confused.

Then, I realized how much of a fool I was when I saw it was from NCD.

But then I saw it was actually in the URL of the linked article and I was CONFUSED AGAIN.

Funny that Mirai mean Future, so this is the future of warfare, drone and hydrogen car lol

Where the FUCK did they find a Toyota Mirai sitting around?? One of the newest cars that literally only exists on 1 state in the US... is sitting around in Ukraine?? Do they even have hydrogen infrastructure or is this just a way to skirt Geneva Convention?

Man, what a top quality dumbass. Those vehicles are practically worthless, due to having a running cost multiple times that of an F-150, if you can find the fuel.

And why would the Geneva convention have anything to say about this?

What up with Toyota trucks and war

They're relatively cheap, transport a fair amount of people/goods, and, according to Top Gear, absolutely unkillable.
