#2 One thing many people are ignorant of is complex munitions have a significant failure rate, estimanted to be on the 20-25% range. It's why they like to send two, because one's not work.
Makes you wonder about the nukes.

Ed,

From personal knowledge, I trust our nukes, and those of the British and French as well.

The Chinese are probably some distance north of 50%.

The Russians, quite frankly, are more likely to kill you dropping it on your head than trying to set it off.

The Norks have nuclear devices, not weapons. I would be very surprised if they have functioning, reliable missile warheads.

StormBreaker has been in service for nearly 11 years, and it's early 2000s tech. Not good that the bad guys can get one; not a whole lot anybody can do with it.

Mike
