As for the Turks holding “hostage” our 50 nukes (that we stupidly haven’t retrieved from Incirlik Airbase yet), not a problem.

Every cargo plane that flies out of Incirlik needs to carry an extra “passenger” or two. Every flight, every day.

It won’t take long to ship 50 nukes. Just don’t tell anybody, ESPECIALLY the Turks. They probably have plans for those warheads.

Considering the size and weight of these old style weapons, moving them in this manner would not be practical. Also, the base is full of Turkish workers and most of them are likely government workers. Secrecy is out of the question. Our options are very limited.

It’s my understanding these nukes are tacticals, not big strategic devices, so they probably aren’t all that big. You can probably fit a few of them into a single truck.

Getting those nukes from their bunkers to the flight line might be tricky, but only if we let the Turks see what we’re doing. I’m convinced the Turks want those nukes to stay, and not for deterrent effect.
