half a dozen backpack nukes would get deployed within 48 hours, whereever those planes came from. :-) See if they want some more? -
is there such a thing as "backpack nukes"?.....would they be part of the US arsenal if they existed? What branch would we use to deploy said backpack nukes?? and what MOS would that be anyways???Comment

Not sure if the US has them in their arsenal but the USSR had them in their arsenal prior to their collapse. 60 Minutes did a story on them back in the mid or late 90s. At that time the Russians could not account for all of them. I don't know if anyone knows their status at this time.Originally posted by justanothergunnut View Post"One cannot but ponder the question: what if the Arabs had been Christians? To me it seems certain that the fatalistic teachings of Mohammed and the utter degradation of women is the outstanding cause for the arrested development of the Arab. He is exactly what he was around the year 700, while we have kept on developing. Here, I think, is a text for some eloquent sermon on the virtues of Christianity." - General George S.

Fairly certain the US isn't going to go sneaking them onto North Korean air bases just cause they painted a bunch of military cargo planes into civilian livery. Some people are just not that smart when it comes to foreign policy or military matters. Or are trying to live out some Walter Mitty fantasy.
