That’s what I think. These are just old symbolic nukes. They give some credibility to our relationship with Turkey...or at least they used to.

No that old, came after we went to the moon. They are upgradeable via reusing existing components and adding newer tech. "The B61-3 has a dial-a-yield ranging from .3 to 170 kt, while the B61-4′s yield ranges from .3 – 50 kt. These weapons, because they are deployed in Europe and carried by fighter bombers, are dubbed to be strategic. (The range of the delivery vehicle matters for classification purposes) The new weapon, dubbed the B61-12, will cannibalize parts from all of the B61 mods and consolidate them into a new bomb." It appears they are far from useless, old relics.

It is a legacy NATO policy to have nukes deployed in 5 different countries, including Turkey. Meant to confirm the seriousness of NATO deterrence at all levels. Obviously this all has to be reconsidered in light of what has been happening in Turkey-stan.
