(The United Kingdom also received U.S. tactical nuclear weapons ... mainly deployed in Germany,) despite being a nuclear weapon state with its own weapons.

Is there any evidence that Germany is a nuclear weapon state? They are not listed as such under the NNPT to which they are a a party. Andrewa 19:20, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The sentance didn't (intend to) imply Germany was a NWS, controlling these weapons. U.S. nuclear weapons controlled by U.S. militrary, on UK missiles, just deployed on German soil. UK taking U.S. weapons despite being a NWS with its own weapons, which is a bit odd. Rwendland 23:20, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Please do not edit my comments. If you wish to provide a different (bigger or whatever) quote, provide it by all means, but where the quote is part of a signed block of text, by editing it you are putting words into my mouth.
But I do now see what you were saying, and you're right, the sentence does mean that the UK, not Germany, was the NWS. And it's a peculiar arrangement all right! I still think the phrasing was confusing. Would you like to have a go at a better version, or shall I?
The UK deploying US-owned weapons in Germany...! What a crazily insensitive thing to do. Andrewa 23:45, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry about extending your quote. I didn't view it as changing your words, and was intended to be helpful. I'll know better next time. If you want to rephrase the sentence please do.
The extent to which UK used US nuclear weapons seems little known in the UK, and reflects the low level of "independence" in UK nuclear weapons. When I have more time I'd like to record it in Nuclear weapons and the United Kingdom. If interested take a look at "NATO stockpile" in this National Archive doc or this Regimental recollection of Lance missile deployment in Germany. Rwendland 02:45, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
To me the remarkable thing about the UK nuclear program is how little information was passed back to the British, considering that the UK had given all of their technology to the USA as part of the war effort! The fortunes of war. But agree that compared to France (France got the bomb, but don't you grieve, 'cause they're on our side - I believe - Tom Lehrer), the UK had major help.
I've restored a rephrased version of your point re UK being a NWS. Andrewa 17:56, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jupiter and Thor missiles

Under what agreement were the PGM-19 Jupiter and PGM-17 Thor shared? The articles show UK, Turkish, and Italian units operating these missiles rather than US units, though like current NATO sharing US techs were on hand to arm the weapons.79.177.200.244 (talk) 13:17, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Italy has its own nuke.The silent atomic power

Italy developed in late '60s in CAMEN structure close Pisa its nukes as officially declared in the Italian Parliament by the Deputy Giuseppe Niccolai to the Minister of the Defence Luigi Gui.Niccolai was deputy since 1968 and since 1970 was in the Military Affairs Commission of the Italian Parlianment.Italy in fact since 1971 began to develope even IRBM missiles that could be launched from mobile blocks from frigates or destroyers.Alfa missile has a range of 1600 km with a warhead of 1 Mt.Other launchers that could be used as ICBM were later developed.Many secrets of state are still on this affair about italian military. http://sulatestagiannilannes.blogspot.com/2012/08/nucleare-militare-un-segreto-italiano.html Glc72 (talk) 11:37, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Poland denies talks

http://www.stripes.com/news/europe/poland-denies-considering-request-for-nuclear-weapons-1.382342

Leaving a note in case it's added. Hcobb (talk) 00:25, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Just thought I'd add that back in 9/14 I posted this from Spacedaily, which was promptly deleted; On September 24, 2014 in response to Russian aggressions in Ukraine, former Polish president Lech Walesa stated "We should borrow, lease nuclear weapons and show Putin that if a Russian soldier poses one foot on our land uninvited, we will attack. Just to be clear," suggesting Poland should attain a nuclear deterrent.[1] So if the government isn't officially considering it, the idea is definitely part of the wider conversation inside Poland.

No JDAM(N)s without 1st strike stealth fighters to carry them. They're buying the wrong aircraft.

The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II procurement page suggests a purchase of 48 by 2017. Besides, their current F-16s can carry the B61. Doyna Yar (talk) 17:36, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Turkey

If I understand correctly http://www.euractiv.com/section/global-europe/news/us-moves-nuclear-weapons-from-turkey-to-romania/ Turkey should no longer be on the list, and Romania should be added instead. --HighFlyingFish (talk) 19:01, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weapon list issues

Firstly there are no references at all in the section. Second the 'former' section lists weapons as shared with states that I've never heard of being involved in nuclear sharing with the US. I think there might be some confusion between 'shared' and 'forward deployed' by the United States on allied territories.Doyna Yar (talk) 20:59, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Doyna Yar: You are correct. That sections needs to go. Just FYI, this page has seen some POV pushing from a sock for quit some time. It might be better to have a look at other sections in the page and see what it unsourced or content inflation. Thanks. Adamgerber80 (talk) 22:24, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Lemmy guess- Benniejets again?! Some people just can't take a hint. Doyna Yar (talk) 04:25, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Doyna Yar: Yep. Mastercard13273 (talk · contribs) was the latest sock I reported to WP:SPI. This and some related pages like the Italian nuclear weapons program need to be combed through to check if content has been correctly sourced or not. (not to say that these are the only pages which have been disrupted). Adamgerber80 (talk) 13:31, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I've lost count as to how many times Benniejets has trampled thru pages. Isn't this a year or more now? There's got to be a better solution to this.Doyna Yar (talk) 05:04, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Doyna Yar: Yeah it has been more than a year. One option that I am aware of is to create a WP:LTA case. I have done this in the past for other editors. But this won't solve the fundamental issue which is to report their accounts/edits when they appear (and they will). Their jingoistic POV editing is fine with some editors in the usual area they edit (and an area I don't watch) and thus these accounts are allowed to flourish. Adamgerber80 (talk) 13:10, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm, too bad there isn't a bot that would monitor for similar edits and raise alerts way before regular editors put it together. Doyna Yar (talk) 05:08, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah. There are some bots which detect vandalism but none which detect POV pushing. Adamgerber80 (talk) 17:15, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's February and there are still no references in this section? Delete.Doyna Yar (talk) 22:26, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's September and there are still no references in this section! Delete.Doyna Yar (talk) 20:48, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I tend to agree. Citations are needed throughout.

It's July 2023, 5 years... nothing? Are you kidding me?! Delete.Doyna Yar (talk) 17:30, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

First sentence

"Nuclear sharing is a concept in NATO's policy of nuclear deterrence, which involves member countries without nuclear weapons of their own in the planning for the use of nuclear weapons by NATO."

That does not make sense to me. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 06:04, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Anna Frodesiak: That sentence is factually incorrect and was probably added by BennieJets who has always insisted (without WP:RS) that under Nuclear sharing NATO countries have full access to nuclear weapons and have the power to deploy them. On the contrary, it is the forward deployment of nuclear weapons by the US Armed Forces and at all times the weapons are under USAF control and so are the launch codes. At no moment in time do the member countries have possession of these weapons or any control over launching them. That sentence indicates the exact opposite of what is true. Here is a small reference [1]. I also had NATO's official stance on this which exactly states that but cannot find that reference right now. If you look through the talk page discussions here or the Italian Nuclear Weapons page, you will probably find it. I will look around and see if I can post it. Thanks. Adamgerber80 (talk) 15:46, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Adamgerber80. Please do modify the lead then. I'd be grateful. Many thanks for the thoughtful reply. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 20:03, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Anna Frodesiak: Will do once I can string together some WP:RS. Adamgerber80 (talk) 22:27, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Map show Israel being a nuclear power?

It's a bit ambiguous what map on top means. Stardude82 (talk) 22:12, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How is that ambiguous? Israel is a nuclear weapons state. Kylesenior (talk) 00:08, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
