** One German fighter group, the ''Sonderkommando Elbe'', tried out a slightly less suicidal version against massed American bomber raids. Instead of ramming a ship with a bomb-laden plane, they'd use their craft to deal enough damage to a bomber to knock it out of the sky--along with their own craft--hopefully bailing out just before or after impact. Aside from a few notable instances, it was not effective at all--only the fact that decent German fighter pilots were far rarer than a German fighter plane by that point in the war made this tactic have any degree of practicality whatsoever.

[[note]]It was fully expected that this would be unlikely, but unlike Japan, Germany did not have a cultural tradition of HeroicSuicide. But bravely going into a battle that you were ''likely'' to die in was very much within German cultural tradition, so that was a distinction that made the concept more palatable to the pilots.[[/note]] Aside from a few notable instances, it was not effective at all--only the fact that decent German fighter pilots were far rarer than a German fighter plane by that point in the war made this tactic have any degree of practicality whatsoever.

While Israel's official policy is to never confirm nor deny that they have nuclear weapons, it is speculated that they have enough to make a last stand with them if all hope the worst comes to pass. The Samson Option comes into play in a scenario where an enemy state has either invaded or destroyed much of the country, and will entail launching ''every last nuke they have'' at the enemy as a last resort. Either the enemy is lost destroyed and Israel survives, or Israel is about to be defeated, launch nukes at destroyed but takes the responsible party or parties.

** In general, any large enough UsefulNotes/{{stars}}, from our humble sun to the supergiants, will wreak havoc to their vicinity in their death throes. Whereas our sun will only ravage our solar system, big enough stars that manage to become supernovae can send massive amount of charged, irradiated particles up to thousands of light years away. A supernova happening within about 150 light years away from earth could still be strong enough to noticeably damage the ozone layer, with the damage becoming worse the closer it happened, resulting in DisasterDominoes that could end in a civilization collapse and mass extinction. That's to say nothing if the dying star(s) ends up firing gamma ray burst; not only GRB retains much of its lethality for much longer distance (a GRB could conceivably cause a mass extinction on earth from 6000 light years away), it's much harder to detect since GRB moves at the speed of light compared to supernova charged particles which sail the space at barely a fraction of that speed.
