New And what do you know about tactical nukes???
The US shelved most of their tactical nuclear weapons in the early 1990's . The US only deploys 2 tactical nuclear weapons types today the Tomahawk TLAM-N SLCM (BGM-109A) which has a yield of 200 kilotons and B61 Mod-3,-4,-10 gravity bomb
(tactical) which has a yeild from .3 to 170 kilotons. Considering that these are gravity bombs they will most probably not be used. Therefore we are taking about a 200 kiloton warhead. All this info is from here: [link|http://www.cdi.org/issues/nukef|http://www.cdi.org/issues/nukef]&f/database/usnukes.html#nonstrat

here is 1 quote:
"The U.S. once deployed the entire panoply of tactical nuclear weapons
(from nuclear artillery and demolition mines to short-range rockets and
even air-to-air missiles). However, nearly all have been removed and are
slated for destruction, largely as a result of President Bush's unilateral
initiative of September 27, 1991. Indeed, the only operational non-strategic
forces are currently the B61 tactical bombs, largely allocated for use
in Europe (and perhaps the TLAM-N SLCMs, though these could arguably be
considered strategic, and are in storage in any case.)"

New Far more than you.
Trust me, that site is wrong. Well, no, sorry. Not wrong. Very very very incomplete.

Just to make a point: the "Davy Crockett" isn't there.

So are you petitioning Israel to shed themselves of their nukes?

New Run Away! Run Away!
At least in your case, yes. I know a HELL OF A LOT more about atomics than you.

I just told you of a SPECIFIC weapon completely ignored on that page. So its hardly complete.

There's 2 man-portable devices I know of. Unmentioned.

The common thing to do when you're shown to be wrong is apologise - or at least fess up.

But I wasn't expecting better from you.
