bonus- RA-115s

            

            For those of you who do not know what RA-115s are, they are also known as suitcase nukes. These were developed by Russia during the cold war. As of now only Russia, Israel and the United States are reported to have the technology needed in order to produce these suitcase nukes. However, none of these countries have made it public that they have the technology to fit these nukes in a regular size suitcase or briefcase. But that is only what they made public. Although they have not made it public, the center for defense intelligence says that they have produced a class of nuclear devises that are small enough to fit into a suitcase in the 1970’s.

            There is a huge problem with this. This being in 1997 Russia made it public that a few of these suitcase nukes has disappeared from their holding houses during the fall of the Soviet Union. Alexander Lebed who is a national security advisor for Russia released this. Later Russia would make a statement that all of that is false and declined that they have ever even made these nukes.

            Another issue with these weapons is that if they fall into the hands of the wrong person, they can be used in a very bad way. Not to mention if they get purchases by the Taliban, they can easily use them against us in war. A question might arise as to how can these nukes be preserved and for how long? Really, its simple; all you need is a high power plug in and the nuke can last for years if its kept in the right location. Nuclear weapons are not as hard to handle of some people think. In fact, if you give an physics college graduate the right materials, they should be able to make one relatively easily. The hard part is just getting the materials such as Uranium.

            Stanislav Lunev has said that it is relatively easy to to smuggle these suitcase nukes into the United States. There are two ways that the said its possible. One, by smuggling them in from the Mexican boarder by car or truck. And two, by launching a small undetectable missile from a Russian airport. He especially stated that these nukes might be stored in the Shenandoah Valley area. But come to find out, later the FBI would discredit what Lunev said and said that he was exaggerating. This is a very scary thought because at any time these nukes can be unleashed on American soil. If this happens, thousands of people will die and our landscape will be devastated. In my opinion we need to do everything in our power to find out the truth about these weapons, so no innocent people get hurt and so a disaster can be avoided. I also believe that it is very suspicious that so many people are making these comments and later they would be discredited by the higher ups. It seems to me that someone is trying to cover up some stuff. People need to come right out and tell the truth. Enough of this government cover up.
