Work needed

  • Discuss early nuclear targeting, before the term counterforce was invented, such as targeting Soviet bloc nuclear or conventional forces, but not industry
  • Better examples of successful and unsuccessful counterforce with dumb munitions (historical)
  • Include, or link to, articles on weapons such as earth-penetrating PGMs or nuclear weapons
