Do you consider they are even more stupid and weak than the French?

What I am saying is that the "suitcase" nuclear device does not
exist.
No one, not the French, not the Poles, not the UK and not the US, has
them.
The "micro thermonuclear bomb is a myth, and not a very good one.

The U.S. Army's Green Light program and the U.S. Air Forces Davey
Crockett come
pretty close.

I have no idea what "Green Light" was, but I suppose it was a SADM or
similar--which was not a "suitcase bomb". And the USAF NEVER fielded
Davey
Crockett--that was a US Army system (sort of a recoiless rifle with a
spigot) which used the same physics package as the SADM (W-54).

True, but they were very low yield, and would be way too heavy to
qualify.

I don't recall suggesting Davey Crocket was a USAF program.

I thought that the (from above) "...and the U.S. Air Forces Davey Crockett
come pretty close." was part of your post?


As for Green Light it was a man portable device. They would be emplaced by
a
crew of two, timer set and left behind while the crew retired to a safe
distance. Other than that I don't know much more about it.

Sounds like the pre-SADM SADM, so to speak. But that weapon (T-4/W-9) was
even heavier than SADM. The W-54 was the smallest man emplaced weapon we
fielded in its SADM configuration.
