@doug-graves We also had the ability to use these to shoot down enemy satellites. We've had that capability since about 1960. It could fired from a high altitude fighter jet, and take out a satellite in orbit. Only had to get within something like 4 miles to destroy it.

@ST0N3PONY - Which plane are you thinking? AFAIK, AIR-2A/B wasn't cleared for anything with a max ceiling high enough for that kind of work.

@geekstud Couldn't remember offhand so I looked it up. The first successful test was the Bold Orion 199B, launched from a Stratojet. That was in 1959, and it passed within 4 miles of the satellite.
The first satellite ever destroyed in orbit was when we fired a Nike Zeus missile in 63.
Pretty cool though, considering that we could do it in 59, and I believe it was China that made the news last year or the year before when they were doing testing trying to accomplish the same thing.

We had hundreds of crazy atomic weapons defending our turf, like the Genie, Nike Ajax/Hercules, and Bomarc. They served their purpose as the last line of defense and deterrent against incoming nuclear attacks. The Russians had similar weapons for the defense of their country.
Thankfully, we never had to use them.
BTW, Had an Atlas F Silo practically in my backyard when I was a child.
Great vid, voted!

@carbonbased2 This area had a huge Airforce presence in the '60s, not to mention the US's final nuclear weapons assembly plant is nearby. Everyday was a free airshow!

@mikedelta12 These were based out of Altus AFB (OK). Dyess (Abilene) and Walker (Roswell,NM) were also Atlas F missile bases. Each were ringed with 12 Silos, each Atlas missile had a 3.75 megaton (W38) warhead.

Just in case you don't know, Atomic Energy is used to produce STEAM, which powers the electricity producing turbines.
Learn basic physics before you spout off, sounding like a total tool!
