Mirai, one of Toyota's top models, turned into a Hydrogen bomb by Ukrainian forces
If media reports are to be believed, in its war against neighboring country Russia, the Ukrainian Army used the battery fire or the hydrogen tank explosion technique to convert a civilian Toyota Mirai car into a hydrogen and plastic explosive that wreaked havoc. It was not a thermonuclear device or a hydrogen bomb, no fissile material was used. It was made using a fuel tank from a hydrogen car. However, the Ukrainian Army foiled the Russian efforts to take the town of Vovchansk and pushed them to a plant north of the river.

Fireballs, debris, mushroom clouds from Toyota Mirai

According to pro-Ukraine Euromaidan Press, the hydrogen composition of the bomb enabled it to generate powerful blast waves, fireballs, debris, and mushroom clouds. It reported further that the Ukrainian Army used a remotely operated ground drone to transport the bomb to the Russian positions.

Moved to Russian positions

Since drones were compromised by electronic warfare and the bomb was too heavy for aerial drone delivery, the Ukrainians opted to use a remotely operated ground drone to transport the bomb to the Russian positions.


Toyota will not release a hydrogen-powered car with a tank that can explode if a Mirai driver crashes his car. The high-pressure hydrogen tank in the back of a Mirai is practically impenetrable unless it is lined on all sides with plastic explosives.
