@wellerstein What's a W-30? -
@SamTheGeek@wellerstein The W30 was used in the Navy's Talos SAM (5kt) as well as a 0.5kt nuclear landmine (Atomic Demolition Munition). -
@AtomicAnalyst@SamTheGeek@wellerstein LANDMINE??!!? :-O -

@wellerstein@AtomicAnalyst My question: what the heck in the W62 doing in red, as in, part of the stockpile?@nukestrat? -

@wellerstein I want to know what's up with the snub-nosed W53 and B53-0 are they ramjets? -
@The_Adrift@wellerstein Here's the W53, the 9MT warhead for the Titan II ICBM. B53 was the gravity bomb version.pic.twitter.com/dFe6On3BSf
