Geez! Suppose someone accidentally, on-purpose lobbed one at Assad?
I’m pretty sure they are there, and agree completely. They should have been gone 10 years ago.
This IS The Most Important story to monitor, and it should be at the top of Breaking news until the situation is over.
The fissible material in those nukes could be used as dirty bombs that Islamists could leverage against western cities for all kinds of demands.
God help us.
RE: “Rumor has it, about fifty arrows are stored at Incirlik. They need to be moved. Yesterday.”
I agree. My understanding is that we are in control of some tactical nukes being stored by NATO at the base. They should be moved out ASAP. If Erdogan continues building his Islamic caliphate Turkey’s membership in NATO may come to an end. We definitely don’t want Turkey getting their hands on those nukes.
IMO the power is being kept off at the base to pressure OFail into giving up Guelen.
Anyways they'll need LOTS of air cover for surreptitious exfiltration.....either 1-2 B61s per aircraft (that would be a major sortie) or just land a couple of B1/B2/B52 to take them all out.
It's not just the logistics of getting them out of country, its the air cover, protection, and the back up plans for recovering a nuke in, what I consider, indian country full of mujs.
Anyways, I think the B2 can carry a dozen or so, the B1 double that. I would bet a single B52 could carry the entire Incirlik B61 bombs in the WSAs out of the AO. I'll let the zoomies figgur that one out for me with their OSINT I dont' watch.
