Sad day...some of our best nukes being dismantled, weakening us. B83 was a good system, very flexible.

Also, I'm perturbed that the article didn't mention the role OST played.

If something goes a little hinky during the disassembly process, how do they know?

The one clearly enumerated job of the Federal government (to protect us), and they’re weakening us.

I’m sad. This is a sad day for America. We get demonstrably weaker, while the rest of the world says they’re doing something we cannot possibly quantify.

I remember driving onto Dyess AFB in the B-52 era and just happening to get behind a trailer with 4 similar looking items on it.

A sentry with a carbine never took his eyes off the trailer as it went toward the flight line.

I always wondered what I had seen. They looked like giant aluminum colored test tubes. No fins that I could see.

Twenty megatons each?

NNSA Announces Completion of first B83 Dismantlement

Excellent job on the part of NNSA!!!

China, or Russia, Iran or NK could not have done ANY better than NNSA did.

As we disarm Russia continues to arm.

“He pointed out that the treaty actually allows this country to somewhat build up its strategic arsenals and places no restrictions on upgrading them. The upgrade is already in progress, as Russia continues to perfect and deploy the Topol-M, the Yars, the Sineva and the Bulava missile systems.”

Gee Whiz...nice article...it failed to tell me what the hell a b83 was, where it was, how it was, or what it was.......cannot form an opinion if I do not have clue as to what it was...could have been a chainsaw for all this article told me...
