@wellerstein It bears a resemblance to the W84 (for the GLCM), but it doesn't appear to be the entire warhead - http://nuclearweaponarchive.org/Usa/Weapons/W84.html …

@wellerstein@scottcarson1957 BTW, last slide very problematic. Many reasons why war casualty % has fallen, including huge pop. increase! -

@scottcarson1957 I had exactly the same thought. -
@wellerstein@scottcarson1957 Nevertheless, STRATCOM is quite fond of it. Other reasons: more accurate weapons, better battlefield medicine.
