Pretty sure the US don't have nuclear missile silos anywhere in europe...

Wasn’t there a thing about them storing warheads at Harrogate years back? More than likely not mounted, I’m sure I remember something about it though.

I've sort of covered this. There's no US missile silos in Europe. US warheads for tactical bombs, yes. Ocassionally even sub launched weapons as a Ohio visits maybe, but no silos.

I’ll have a look about later see if I can find what I’m on about lol but I believe they were just ballistic warheads. Not mounted in silos (of which non exist in Blighty) or capable of launch from British soil.

It's normally the case , that's why I always stress the importance of keeping comedy free of the shackles that normally stop us saying what we want to. ?

Strategic weapons are for wiping out cities, infrastructure, civilians. They're intended to utterly destroy your enemy and their civilisation. No civilisation, no enemy. Tactical weapons are lower yield and designed to strike mainly military targets, hence they are often referred to as battlefield weapons.

When the Soviets got short and medium range ballistic missiles (strategic weapons) into Cuba, it meant that they could strike the US much more effectively than they could with their homeland strategic weapons. These weapons were intended to be part of an annihilation strike scenario where both sides went all out to destroy the other. Before that the US pretty much had the edge. It balanced the playing field which scared the shit out of everyone until both sides acclimatised to the new normal and found acceptable solutions.

The US nukes deployed in Europe now are mostly or entirely deployed in western Europe and are designed to be dropped by fighter jets and have much lower yields than strategic nukes. They are intended to wipe out divisions of enemy armour and troops in a terrible WWIII invasion scenario, but have limited capability as a strategic weapon ie to wipe out Russia as a civilisation. The US and Russia have ICBM silos at home, submarines and strategic bombers for that these days. The battlefield nukes would be saved for the battlefield. 

Battlefield nukes always have me thinking Starship Troopers ?
