Can NATO (US) nukes currently on EU soil be jury rigged to be used against america in case on an all out invasion? Italy alone has 90 of them, each roughly 10 Mt strong. One would be enough to level a major city.
>>64769127>Nook thread>America vs Europe division spamFuck off back to where you came from
>>64769131Yeah yeah whatever, now can you either answer the topic or migrate somewhere else?
Highly unlikely. If that were possible, then rogue actors in Europe would have already used some of them against russia decades ago.
>>64769135Can you migrate back to whatever website or board you used before you came here?
>>64769127>hurr durr kill switch>nook ookAll this europe vs usa shit is fucking tired already. Nothing will happen, but if it did there would probably be little difficulty activating nukes in a countries own possession. Unless they are guarded by the USA, nothing is exacly stopping them from activating the nukes with some elbow grease.
>>64769138>rogue actors So far the most powerful of these elements are either criminal syndicates like the mafia, or terrorist organizations like the IRA. I can't picture none of these being powerful enough to get their hands on a nuke, especially one that's been maintained and supervised by a nation, instead of just being dumped in the back of a storage house.
You know this board is now populated by literally babies when no one knows what a P.A.L is. No, I'm not linking it. Fuck you, Google it.
>>64769127Do you think you'd be happier if you killed yourself?
>>64769249the first code i tried was 00000000 and was correct. pal is worthless.
>lust provoking image>irrelevant time wasting questionDon't matter 'cause nothing's gonna happen.
>>64769249You can just take the physics package and out it in your own nuke. Getting it to go supercritical is literal 40s tech. A team of grad students could pull it off in the 60s.
>>64769322so you are making a fission bomb out of a thermonuclear bomb. fission bombs are magnitudes less powerful.
>>64769304You goddamn knuckle-dragger that was debunked the same day as the code was set for a drill and the assumption was that command removed PAL which you cannot guard against.It's also not the first code tried in that clown show.Dumb faggot read one article and stopped there.
>>64769328That's not what he's saying nor what he means by physics package.
>>64769340pal is part of the physics package. you aren't getting the physics package supercritical by outside detonators. those pits are safed.
>>64769127Terrorist act.
>>64769358If you are a nation-state and have physical custody of a nuke, PAL is trivial because you have time, and and entire staff working on it.PAL defeats lone wolves, rogues, turncoat allies for about a month, and not a lot else.In this case idk why removing anything is important you can defeat PAL in situ.PAL is nothing but a delay to a government actor and a total brick wall to almost anyone else.
>>64769138Why go that far? Just take out Moscow and St Petersburg and that's the end of that.
>>64769370teller-ulam only was invented once. every other nation stole it, or got stuck on boosted fission weapons.you will not get the timings right, especially not without real nuclear weapons tests.
>>64769127Again with this garbage thread, same as the past few days.OP is once again a gigantic faggot.
>>64769127>10 Mt nuclear weapons>Current yearsYeah how about no. The current highest yield US warhead is 1.2 Mt, and that one is old and being phased out. A typical nuclear warhead is around 500 Kt.
>>64769375Welcome to about 1989. The device is already made, you're stuck on the wrong step.
>>64769388so you think you can remove pal but leave the arming and fuzing subsystem intact
>>64769414Yes, if you're a nation and it still takes time. If you have entire staff and facilities. This rules out everyone so far, below NK, but who actually wants to have a stolen nuke.Guess how many that number is. That is the "PAL".
>>64769414Venting the tritium and wiping the ICs won't stop a state actor that can reconstruct the fuzing. Full computer simulations of nuclear weapons have been possible since 1996 for total test ban treaty participants.
>>64769419For some reason he's discounting the fact that it's a complete weapon lol like... if you can operate it magically you can only operate the fission initiator or something.He also thinks if say... Yemen had a broken arrow fall on it and refused to give it up, then activated it, that's the same feat as a terrorist with a Pi and wire strippers lol.
>>64769127No. They have anti tamper mechanisms. At most if would be possible to collect the fissile material to make a new bomb.
>>64769419so you think pakistan, india and north korea have thermonuclear weapons and just boosted fission?
>>64769127Why do vatniks keep forgetting that Europeans have their own?
>>64769419>Full computer simulations of nuclear weapons have been possible since 1996 for total test ban treaty participants.even the u.s. still does nuclear tests. you overestimate computer simulations.
>>64769455only two nations in western europe have their own nukes, the rest are glorified repositories for american warheads
>>64769461that's not banned though
