Some loose thoughts on Trident
- Yes, Minister was a prescient show
- Trident is the UK's only nuclear deterrent.
- While the UK fired them, they are taken from a common US-UK pool of interchangeable missiles.
- NATO governments are on the open side. Failures are likely to be made public.
- It is, of course, embarrassing
- arethuza 3y agoThe UK Tridents currently are on patrol with 8 missiles (they can carry more). What we don't want is someone thinking that out of the 8 a few won't work and maybe the missile defences around their capital city could surely shoot down the remainder?
