US nukes at Turkey base at risk of seizure: report

[anon45]

Remote detonate ? Sorry guy, but that's not how it works. I suggest you watch a movie that is more factual or you know, read up on the weapon.

Anti- tamper systems?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permissive_Action_Link

plus anti-tamper systems which intentionally mis-detonate the weapon, destroying it without giving rise to a nuclear explosion.

is this not something done remotely and only triggered by unauthorized attempts?

Imagine that we were harboring Osama Bin Laden, would ask for concrete evidence and saying extradition process will take years.

Than it's inevitable that Turkey - US relations will deteriorate.

What's more funny is, Russia jumping on the opportunity.
Turkey could provide its Incirlik airbase for the Russian Aerospace Forces jets in the anti-terrorist campaign in Syria, member of Russia’s upper house of parliament Igor Morozov said Tuesday.

So why would Turkey help Russia bomb Turkmen again?

So why would Turkey help Russia bomb Turkmen again?

-Well, if you ask me Turkey won't deal with Russia over Incirlik airbase.

But if it were up to me....I would team up with Russia, would want guarantee for Turkmens, then together bomb the shit out of ISIS. Would also hit PYD....I wouldn't hit FSA, but won't raise my voice if Russia continues to hit them. Also, try to hinder US operations in the area, by shutting down the Incirlik, closing airspace for US jets, etc... as US is supporting PKK affiliate PYD.

Erdoğan is still anti-Assad, so i don't expect serious cooperation with Russia.

What is PAL.

A device included in or attached to a nuclear weapon system to preclude arming and/or launching until the insertion of a prescribed discrete code or combination. It may include equipment and cabling external to the weapon or weapon system to activate components within the weapon or weapon system.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permissive_Action_Link

B61 administrative procedures performed by ground-based personnel are executed via an access panel located on the side of the bomb, which opens to reveal 9 dials, 2 sockets and a T-handle which manually triggers the "command disable" function. One of the sockets is a MC4142 "strike enable" plug which must be inserted in order to complete critical circuits in the safety/arming and firing mechanisms. The other socket is the PAL connector located in the top right hand corner of the arming panel, which has 23 pins marked with alphabetic letter codes.

The B61 also features a "command disable" mechanism, which functions as follows: after entering the correct 3-digit numeric code it is then possible to turn a dial to "DI" and pull back a T-shaped handle which comes away in the user's hand. This action releases a spring-loaded firing pin which fires the percussion cap on an MC4246A thermal battery, powering it up. Electrical power from the thermal battery is sufficient to "fry" the internal circuitry of the bomb, destroying critical mechanisms without causing detonation. This makes the bomb incapable of being used. Any B61 which has had the command disable facility used must be returned to Pantex for repair.[20]

Here's a video of older variant of B61 PAL. B61 PAL was last upgraded in 1985, which is still manually operated.

After this move by US, Turkey should seriously think for his own warheads somehow. If you neglect on it you will doing injustice only to yourself.

 

[Deliorman]

Isn't there a possibility of Turkey to send Pakistan materials and money for making some dozens of warheads for us as they already have the infrastructure, the scientists and the experience to do it in a matter of months? After that they can send them back to us, we can pretend that we have no such devices and continue with the development of our missiles. Of course we should pay them for that.

ps I know it's not that easy, it's just wishful thinking.

We'd be sanctioned in 2 months and probably end up as a mix of Syria and Egypt by the years end.

 

[Deliorman]

I know that it is not really possible to happen right now but Turkey should become a nuclear power if it wants to be a powerful and independent state or at least try to develop it's capabilities like Japan, Germany and other states who don't have such weapons but can make them in a matter of months if needed.

 

[mike2000 is back]

Yes Aselsan has made us a mix of Egyptian and Siyrian modern hardware after Cyprus Turk Independence War. Congratulate this "If amerika sanctions" guy. What an independence understanding.

He has a future, CIA. he can be a good provacatour. Grow him up pls.

Feel free to team up with Russia. However you have no common geo strategic interests in the region unfortunately. Lol

Anyway. This news is just bullshit. U.S/NATO warheads and missile defence systems are absolutely safe in Turkey and everybody know's this. This article is just another sensational news.

Obviously, partners often have differences, even between U.K and U.S who are each other closest allies,we often have differences as well between us.
Doesn't means we will stop being partners or allies. Since our geo strategic interests still converge overall

Article is not about US nukes or missile defense systems but about deploying Russian Jets in İncirlik airbase.....which is also being operated by US air forces....

That's the Russian claim by the way.
