Awesome!

That’s very interesting. I’d never knew we had nuclear artillery units. I bet those were pretty risky for the guys on the ground, depending on which way the wind is blowing and all.

It never ceases to amaze me in how the Iranians(among others) are still trying to catch up to where we were 60-70 years ago in the ‘nuclear age’ of warfare.

You most certainly wouldn't want to fire short.

Unit I was in had Davey Crockett rockets ~ they were being phased out at the time. I think that was the only atomic weaponry ever issued to the Infantry.

I saw some show that talked about this gun. Since it was unwieldy, taking a day to set up, and with only a handful of them around, the Soviets constantly had them targeted.
