The way that it works is that a nuclear weapon can be detonated in the stratosphere above the United States. This type of an explosion

warhead get detonated anywhere between 20 to 250 miles above the surface of the

earth. This can be achieved by multiple ways you can strap a bomb to a

satellite or onto a missile or even onto a spy balloon. The key is just to make sure that the nuke is high up in the
