- Ah, but less collaboration. :-) Also, if you're just going with historical facts it's not going to be very controversial. --BobNot Jim 08:58, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
- Well, that's true :( I didn't really see this as being article material, though, and even though I never got to my point, it was really an expanded talk page post. Hopefully I'll remember what my reason for writing it was soon and add that. ħuman 22:38, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

This article is very weak.[edit]
You need help and I can help you make this essay better.
I consider myself an expert of nuclear weapons since my time as a technician with the 341st Strategic Missile Wing at Malmstrom AFB, Montana.
"Germany terrorized Britain with the U2 - dynamite on a stick, with no pilot to kill."
The German ballistic missile of WW2 was called the V-2. The U-2 was a high-altitude CIA spy plane.
"A missile launched from northern Asia, or Northern America, would take roughly eight or so hours to reach its destination."
Not true at all. A land based ICBM like the Minuteman III has a flight time of 25 to 30 minutes. The Trident D5 SLBM has a flight time of 13 minutes for most targets.
Also you left out lots of important things like MIRs and ABM systems. Moonshot926 (talk) 19:59, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
- Fixed the errors you noted, and a handful of typos. ħuman 06:52, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
