Mitchell Holman added these comments in the current discussion du
jour ... Attachment decoded: Pershing 2 missile a.jpg Looks very familiar grin. Should be, I was in the 1st of the 81st Artillery, a Pershing battalion, in 1971. Many urban legends surrounded the yield on the war heads, as high as 15 mega tons. In reality, yields varied from as low as 50 kilo tons to 150-200 KT around the time I was there, to 400 KT later. How anyone could possibly believe that it was possible to fight the Warsaw Pact tanks with battlefield nukes with yields that high without causing WWII is beyond me, but then, this was also the waning days of MAD. -- HP, aka Jerry |
