Should the US not waste time in stationing some of its own tactical Nukes in Ukraine as a response? Would the operational control over their use be given to Ukraine Military to speed their effectiveness if situations demanded immediate action?
I wonder if we still have the Davey Crockett system, small atomic artillery or mortar devices?
Uh,.... NO. On all of the above.
Locating American nuclear weapons in Ukraine would be a huge mistake.
I hope you’re not one of those people who think ‘tactical’ nuclear war wouldn’t quickly escalate to mass destruction.
Davy Crockett nuke was deployed for a very short period, primarily because the folks firing it were in the blast radius when it went off. The US Army never had nuke rounds for its mortars. The smallest artillery nukes were for the 155mm and 8 inch (200mm) artillery pieces. I think we got rid of all those rounds after the Cold War; but I’m not 100% sure of that. I spent several years in the field artillery nuclear surety program, practicing to use them. But we never got to fire a real nuke in training.
Every US nuke has always been under the direct control of US personnel, and can only be released by the President.
“Should the US not waste time in stationing some of its own tactical Nukes in Ukraine as a response?”
Gawd awful stupid idea!
Let’s poke that ole Ruskie bear and kick this up a knotch or two.
Yeah little Davy Crockett Nukes,that would just make them mad.
I hope I live near a ground zero target.
Survivors will pray for Death.
