Of course artillery rounds, nuclear or HE are designed to be fired from field artillery pieces.
The U.S., without question, has suitcase nukes in inventory, or we would be highly negligent in developing various types of weapons with which to take it to the enemy.
I think we can safely speculate that the enemies of freedom have worked long and hard to miniaturize nukes and place them in their arsenals around the world.
Now, as for a hundred lost suitcase nukes? I doubt it and hope and pray that number is very inaccurate. A dozen or more small tactial nukes getting misplaced during all the reshuffling during the 1990’s and 2000’s? Could be?
Semper Fi! I’m outta here. It’s rack time.
in the early 50’s our Army had a 280 mm cannon that fired a nuke projectile. Also, the Navy engineered a nuke projectile for the 16 inch guns on the Iowa class battleships. I know the Army did actually fire a nuke from their gun. Don’t think the Navy every tried to shoot their 16 inch nuke projo.
