Turkey and future of Nuclear Sharing

[TuAFFalcon]

Turkey as a term of the Nuclear Sharing agreement currently stores up to 90 B61 Nuclear bombs at Incirlik Air Base.
Up to 40 of these bombs are allocated for use by the Turkish Air Force (F-16s) in case of conflict.
The remainder are allocated for use by the USAF.

4 other NATO members also share this responsibility.
The B-61 is a variable yield free fall bomb. Also referred to as the 'silver bullet'.

In your opinion what does the future hold for Turkey and the NATO Nuclear Sharing policy?
Should Turkey have these removed?
How does this effect our relationship with Russia?

We should keep those 40 nukes. We protected Europe's flank during cold war and took huge risks. No way they can take it from us.

We should make our own nukes just for a status quo with iran incase they have nukes(whenever).

Does anybody know how hard is it to 'wire' the F-16 to drop a B-61?
I highly doubt our current F-16s are capable of dropping these at a moments notice this includes the USAF fighters.

Also how well guarded are these bombs?
90 nuclear bombs in one Air Base.

Housing nuclear weapons in some other country is proof of trust and friendship.
I mean it's not hard to imagine a sudden regime change like Iran's then you have an enemy with 90 nuclear bombs.

I do know that USAF holds the arming codes for the nukes but it won't be that hard to pull them apart and install the warhead in your own device.

Dude if you don't have anything to say then why are you here?
Do you go to every forum and decide what's irrelevant and what's not?

But you are right sir. Nuclear sharing is irrelevant. They should just store them in some near by farm.
Use the underground storage vault for vintage wine.

These 40 Nukes which only can be crried by F-16 will be useless for a credible Detterend !

what do you mean?

 

[Babur Han]

what do you mean?

A credible nuclear Detterend need MIRV Capable Ballistic Missiles, Sea Based second Strike Capabillities, Nuclear Bombs and ALCM which will be carried by Fighter Bomber !

We have a squadron of F-16s capable of carrying these bombs.
