"Too many dual-use systems could confuse an enemy in wartime who might think a nuclear (not conventional) attack was underway. Nuclear expert James Acton believes that we are entering into an era of what he calls "nuclear entanglement," one that promises to be different from anything we've seen before. Its main characteristic: an increasingly blurry line between nuclear and conventional weapons. "During the Cold War, the nuclear and non-nuclear domains were largely distinct," said Acton in an interview for the podcast, Press The Button. "Most delivery systems were nuclear or they were conventional, but they couldn't accommodate both types of weapons." The same goes for the threats facing nuclear weapons themselves. The majority of these, he explained, "came from other nuclear weapons."…" Main page link Amicalement Armand |

Yep, hypersonic delivery weapons ARE certainly going to make life interesting for those under attack, AND perhaps those launching them too. Little time to react, so loads more pucker factor and chance to miscalculate. |
