Been a long time since I heard that termUnilateral Disarmament I remember those days of that word being tossed around and saw it this way….You get rid of one and I get rid of one….never mind we have thousands and most are better than what we get rid of.Multi war head missiles. MIRVS but the discussion was only about removing one warhead from the inventory. That left at least 11 in just one missile of which we (both sides) had thousands. Most MIRVs carried up to 12 warheads.We had a few of those warheads in Alaska on tests. Laying on the tundra, partially buried…..they were considered “safe” as the trigger was supposedly pulled but they were still very unsettling when we worked about them.The engineer mentioned we would never feel the blast as we would be vaporized in milliseconds but we would probably see the flash.
