US Mistakenly ships ICBM parts to Taiwan

[tphuang]

beijing will react, but if it's an honest mistake, then they should just let this go. Especially with KMT in power now, I'm at least hoping for a period of calm in the area.

It's not outdated fuse, its just old technology. I mean hell, if you put the fuse with all the other nuclear warhead components. There you have it = a nuke. Thats what Taiwan is hoping to achieve. Its the best deterrent and the best secret weapon. Imagine if China does invade, Taiwan drops a nuke = good bye hundreds of thousands of commie troops.

Hundreds of thousand of commie troops? How about bye bye Taiwan after that?

 

[kliu0]

why would it be bye bye Taiwan. I mean all amphibious invasions taken place in the history of this world have had a central landing area. If Taiwan drops a nuke on the invading force, it would take out the hundreds of thousands of troops. There would have to be much debate onto where it can be dropped so it can deal the max damage while maintaining minimal damage to the area. Anyway if Chinese troops do survive they will die of radiation, and fighter planes cant enter the area as it is highly radioactive and the EMP wave will take out all the electronics. Both sides will suffer, but the highest sufferer will be China. Its only a theory but yea....

 

[AssassinsMace]

And you would think Taiwan can take out every nuke China has? Taiwan is a small island. It doesn't take much. What? Is this the magic nuke theory? Since Taiwan will have zero population, who's the one that suffered more?

 

[kliu0]

Dont forget the laws passed in 2004 in china. Their aim is to destroy all military facilities and capture Taiwan as a usable island not as a destroyed nuclear wreck. My theory involves only Taiwan taking out the military invasion force. China of course would retaliate, but they would strike with precision nuclear bombs over military installations. If China would strike a large populated civilian area, it would provoke large International attention and the destroy the "nice" image that China has been trying to make over the past 50 years. Taiwan is a strategically important island in China's main strategy of securing its borders and sealanes. And 23 million people dont all live in military bases. And please dont use sarcasm.

 

[AssassinsMace]

That's before nukes. Plus Taiwan has bragged about hitting Mainland cities with its cruise missiles. So that means open season on Taiwan. And according to you China is concerned about its image yet an invasion is already underway. Do you think they care about their image especially when Taiwan use nukes first?

 

[Troika]

Calm down people, especially you, Kilu. This forum has a STRICT policy on Taiwan and politics and promises of mass destruction. Keep going and Golly WILL lock the thread.

 

[Gollevainen]

...yeah both sides with interactive nukes, just leave it...Or there will be one hell of a decommissioning about to happen...

Re: U.S. "accidentally" sent 4 nuclear warhead fuses to Taiwan

I wonder why Taiwan decided to wait 2 years before notifying U.S. that they got some highly classified materials. Could they have reverse engineered those warhead fuses?

More than a year later, airman at Hill took the fuses out of storage and shipped them to Taiwan where government officials immediately reported the wrong shipment to U.S. officials; however, Wynne said it wasn't until Wednesday that military leaders realized the gravity of the mistake.

It doesn't seem that Taiwan made some secret gains in ICBM warhead technology from this.
However, US personal seems to be a little lazy lately, nukes flown across the US, sensitive parts shiped as helo batteries.
