No one makes it a secret that Cheyenne Mountain and Site R would not stand up to a fUSSR ICBM attack, given both yields and accuracy. I'd assume the same is true of Northwood. IMO,Cheyenne Mountain would be a VERY tough nut to crack regardless of megatonnage. Shock waves may be a different matter. While I can't get into specifics, the Air Force has justified its continued existence on the basic of existing construction, plus low air conditioning costs. Again from public statements, look at the CEP and yields of a regiment of SS-18s.  |
