In the first massive nuclear strike by
the troops of the
Missile Forces of the Czechoslovak Front,
the front aviation
and long-range aviation added to the front
must destroy the
main group of troops of the first operations
echelon of the
7th US Army, its means of nuclear attack,
and the centers of
command and control of the aviation.

Yeah right, Nikita would give Tonda Novotny
& his boys 131 nuclear
fireckackers to play with.

This "plan" is so obvious bull**** - i wonder
whether 131 or more
bottles of rum were used during its drafting
?

More likely it was vodka.

No, Nikita was not giving Novotny and company
any nuclear warheads to play
with. Nonetheless, the nuclear warheads were
a reality, but always under
Soviet control. Nikita and company planned
to use Czechoslovak troops
trained and equipped with Soviet supplied
nuclear-capable surface-to-surface
missiles and nuclear-capable aircraft armed
with Soviet nuclear warheads
under exclusive Soviet command and control.

The armed forces of Czechoslovakia were equipped
with nuclear-capable
surface-to-surface missiles and nuclear capable
aircraft, and selected units
were trained to use nuclear weapons in combat.
However, the Soviets retained
of all nuclear warheads in peacetime, and
the Soviet forces were to assume
all command and control of "Warsaw Pact Joint
Nuclear Forces" in wartime. In
other words, selected units of Czechoslovakia's
armed forces were equipped
and trained to employ nuclear weapons, but
they could operate only with
Soviet supplied nuclear warheads under Soviet
command and control during
wartime. As usual, all such Warsaw Pact Joint
Nuclear Force activities and
nuclear weapons simulations were watched closely
during peacetime by the
typical Soviet officers serving with the Czechoslovak
forces and other
Warsaw Pact forces. Eventually, Soviet nuclear
warheads were stored in
special depots at Bela pod Bezdezem, Bilina,
and Misov. Much later, the
Soviets hid SS-23 missiles in Czechoslovakia
to evade nuclear weapons
control inspections in violation of the arms
control treaties which required
their destruction.

didn't Flight International run an article a
few years ago (2000 ?
sometime ?) about the Poles and their nuclear
capable Sukhois ? As I
recall, there was also so mention in passing
of the Pole's own nuclear
ambitions.
I have that Air International issue: it points out that the Polish scientist
who was in charge of their nascent nuclear program met with an "unfortunate
auto accident" sometime in 1978. Seems the KGB got to him before the program
could bear any (radiocactive) fruit....And the question probably was: "Who
would the Poles aim the weapons at, NATO, or the Soviet Union?"
