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.
Finally a use for the Mirai. God knows it wasn’t much of a vehicle.

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?
That url looks sus.
it’s a frontend for X without the ads and without the need of an account to access the tweet and the comments. you can replace xcancel.com (the domain part of the url) with x.com if you prefer
Thanks! This is my first time seeing it.
Oh sweet, a new Nitter. Time to catch up on CenturiiChan.
9000 Mirai of Zelensky
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.
Also, they are seen as more reliable, requiring fewer repairs.
Looks like the Hilux has some competition
