Default Re: Did the US Nuke Syria?

[ QUOTE ]

A B-52 is usually the kind of vehicle certified to carry tactical nukes. They are vulernable at low altitude, which would increase the accuracy.

I seem to recall an incident recently where a B-52 was carrying tactical nukes over US airspace in violation of a treaty.....

The B61 and it's variants can be equipped on B2 stealths and F-16's.

Depending on the variant, it could leave a smaller seismic footprint than conventional weapons.

As for the situation in the OP...I have no opinion, just adding some input on the silver bullet, and it's potential methods of delivery.
