“The building is taking place as the Obama administration has sought to reduce the role of nuclear arms in U.S....”
Here we go AGAIN. Obama’s weakness just keeps opening new doors for our enemies.....deja vu...
Could a nation could acquire the weapon with the right hacking skills?
Makes no sense because you get a lot less control of drones which can be hacked.
Russia will attach the US. They are planning very hard and have the Muslim willing to join.
What would be the launch procedures? I assume Ivan currently uses the same labor intensive and double checking procedures as the US to launch nukes? Would the drone receive some signal that could be potentially hacked to launch?
My guess is they will lose this one like they do the manned ones.
5.56mm
Is Russia bound by the treaties of their predecessor? For that matter, is the U.S. bound by a treaty with a political entity which no longer exists? Also, the 1987 INF treaty only pertained to ground launched weapons.
More of Obama’s and Hillary’s “RESET” ???
Unless the USA gets a strong leader in the WH and rebuilds our relations with our Allies (not to mention our military), nuclear war is coming. My only solace is our Tridents. MAD will work against Russia and China. However, the Middle East is going nuclear within the next 5-10 years initiated by the Iranians who care nothing about MAD. Watch as Saudi Arabia and others buy or build nukes.
I hope I'm gone when it occurs, but I currently cry for our children and the World in general. Gawd, I miss Ronald Reagan. Hell, I'd even take W. Bush.
“... such as Kings Bay, Ga., and Puget Sound in Washington state.”
That’s Bangor, WA on Hood Canal (a fjord). Puget Sound is a region stretching from Tacoma to Whidbey Island with Seattle roughly in the middle and no sub bases. Hood Canal lies to the west of Puget Sound.
Built by the Russkies, eh? Will the software be loaded with spyware?
I’ve mentioned this possibility in threads some months back - though I was thinking of drone submarine carriers for launching aerial drones instead of nuke ICBMs - I think the nuke side is very dangerous to do this given the hacking potential.
I’m more upset about Russia attacking a piece of the Ukraine than losing our ports (and the cities that go with them). Therefore we should continue to goad Russia.
(or at least that’s how many people here feel)
Great way to deliver an EMP attack. Put a one or more of these drone subs on each coast, give the signal and the USA is back to 1880s development, with 90% killed after one year.
