How should the United States deal with North Korea?

But do you really have to be that accurate with a nuke?phongn wrote:A former BUFF driver on another board said that in the hands of a skilled crew they could get accuracy close to ALCM with those things.MKSheppard wrote:I just have a soft spot for the AGM-69 SRAM.

SRAM II...
Hmmm, so Taiwanese planes can't carry SRAM, but if I recall correctly, the Australians still own a bunch of F-111, or do they have FB-111s. Those particular planes can be modified to carry SRAM I'm sure. Too bad all the ones from SAC ended up in the boneyard.
Get the Aussies to sell the Taiwanese the platforms, the Americans can sell SRAMs. And let the Taiwan put those together, yeah sure, the tech is obsolete, but I don't think it's too much of a stretch for them to put those pieces together and make them workable.

Just get a Tu-22M3 to do it. They can pack six Kh-15 SRAMskis (AS-16 KICKBACK). Range 160km, speed Mach 5.

Is Tupelov still making Backfires?
I remember the good old days when those were considered primary threats to CVBG in the North Atlantic. Probably the worst nightmare would be a group getting caught by a couple of regiments of Backfires launching AS-6 out from a couple hundred km out. It's the primary reason why AEGIS got developed.

Yeah, enough to hit a half a mile target. Not exactly precision laser guided weaponry. Seeing as though the Hiroshima bomb had a destructive blast radius of over a third of a mile.phongn wrote:Yes, you do.Nathan F wrote:But do you really have to be that accurate with a nuke?
That is, unless you are using a tac nuke to take out a bunker or the like.
