I see lots of people talking about "it's a vbied now lol" every time a photo shows ERA on a vehicle with less than BMP-3 levels of armor. But the thing is, we...

    Australian Nuclear Weapons

    Anyone interested in Australian attitudes to getting nuclear weapons should start with this thread that explains how difficult it is and the US role. https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/uk-thermonuclear-warheads.10419/post-98670 The UK experience with the US would be similar for Australia.
