I guess in this extremely contrived hypothetical where a Navy helicopter flies through heavily-irradiated dust cloud from a nuclear detonation, yes, the blade alarms might go off spuriously. Well done.

what helicopter do you expect EXCEPT a navy helicopter to be flying through the fallout from a nuclear explosion?

especially with all the nuclear tests they were doing for decades?

  • Ambulance and rescue helicopters, if there are any left, and the crew didn't just take the helicopter and run as far as possible...

    • Which will almost certainly be military, because civilian helicopters and staff aren’t equipped or trained for that kind of environment except for perhaps a every couple of years hazmat/mass casualty training.
