Woah...
*The longer term plan was for a delivery vehicle based on the engine that was being developed to power the second stage of the Al Abid satellite launcher. This vehicle would have had a payload chamber of 1.25 meter diameter and the capability to deliver a warhead of at least one ton to a range of almost 1,200 km. Practical work on this engine did not start until April 1989 and according to Iraq, this nuclear weapon delivery vehicle option would not have been complete until 1993 - two years after the first nuclear weapon was supposed to have been produced.*
Been tested...but has it been used?
And hmmm
* Although discounted as impracticable by Iraqis, it seems reasonable to suppose that the shorter term - crash programme - option was the attempt, stated to have been initiated in August/September 1990, to produce a derivative of the Al Hussein/Al Abbas missile designed to deliver a warhead of one tonne up to 650 km and to accommodate a nuclear package of 80 cm diameter. "...it says designed...accommodate...has it too? yikes...I'm scared to know how much of it they have in stock...
Now...what would it take to explode this whole earth...???
waoh...going off to dreamland now...ineed ...resssttt....
