French Doomsday Weapon-hitting USA

French Nukes target the US

RE:elcid : French Doomsday Weapon - hitting USA? 9/4/2004 6:44:37 AM
The French have devised a nuclear strategy plan in the event of a war with the US.
The French have a handful of M-45 sea launched ballistic missiles, with a 600kt payload and a maximum range of 5,000 km. In 1996, France eliminated its land-based ballistic missile arsenal.

So, sure, they COULD hit USA. Assuming they parked an SSBN of the coast of America.

Curiously, France is the only Western nation which is actively working to modernize and upgrade its strategic nuclear capability.

On targeting, their SSBN's carry pre-loaded target packages on magnetic disks. Theoretically, to re-target their ballistic missiles (assuming the intended new target is included on one of the packaged disks) should take only 3-4 minutes (time enough to upload the data from disk to missile). This is similar to the systems used for SLBM's in the US and UK. Lengthy re-targeting times for land-based ballistic missiles come from the fact that you dont typically keep target packages on hand. The data has to be computed and uploaded manually, taking 20-30 minutes. But, if your caught at see with the wrong disks, you cant shoot. Thats the disadvantage..

If their targeting skills are as good as this authors grammer, we should be
OK, as they will likely hit Canada or Mexico..

As long as it's Quebec, it's all good.

Seriously,
thanks to SOSUS, better sonar, satellites and fast attack subs, we will know where every single Frog sub is every minute, and also know when they are preparing for a launch.

whooosh.. buzzzzzzzzz BOOM!
glub glub gurgle gurgle splat..

those french pussies are the least of our worries.

The title of this thread is.....overkill.

Sea launched ballistic missiles of the 600kt magnitude are hardly a "doomsday" weapon.

Besides...a french made weapon has a hard time instilling fear. Will it work?

A multi multi multi Ton delivery system like a Sub is not as much of
a concern to us as is a 200 lb one like a human carrying a Bomb or Virus.

or a 500 lb Fex Ex / UPS / US MAIL Uninspected Cargo container

Just the fact that have a nuclear strategy towards the US, maybe they have suitcase nukes like the soviets made in the seventies and have the positioned around the US for any event.
I still dont the whole story about that 60minutes story about the 100 suitcase nukes that are missing from the USSR that were in the hands of the KGB to do that and werent counted in the official nuclear arsenal.

100?...the show i watched said only 1 and that it was thought to be in pakistan.

No it was 60minutes in 1997 and they said it was 100. Then there hearings on capitol hill in 2000 on this stuff. They had other scientists to corroborate the original story.

 

[Testosterone boy]

Damn....I would be manufacturing nukes 24/7 if I was a foreign leader watching and listening to Bushco.


Germany is bound to be up to something to protect themselves. They might skip the bomb scene and go for the virus.

Difficult to trace thye origin of a virus.

 

[curling]

I wonder why they have a stragedy against us at all? We have always helped protect those little piss ant funny talking little rude suckers in the past. Do they think we will invade them for their frys or what? I tell you what if they continue to piss me off maybe they better get some nukes ready.

If there were indeed 100 suitcase nukes loose in the world, I think
one would have surfaced and been used by now, don't you think ?

Much like Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster

Nessie and I are tight borsky.

he is waiting for the opportune moment to unveil himself. A ruthless negotiator as well. Insisted.....and got......90% of the future profits maintaining that without him.......I got no proof and no story.

10% of the nessie story will allow me to retire in luxury of course. Especially since he cooperated in the upcoming "Nessie does the Loch."

I thought that the French Doomsday Weapon was Jean Reno.

 

[hugenasser]

.......never heard about that.......if I were american, I would not care about us(France) for attacks or anything else.....
other countries are more dangerous......................
