| Legatus Legionis | The US did actually withdraw a large number of missiles from Turkey and presented it as a compensation to Moscow for what Washington had gained in the Gulf of Mexico area. In reality, though, the missiles the US withdrew were mostly old and scheduled to be replaced some time soon thereafter anyways. That was more of a diplomatic action specifically aimed at not letting the Russians lose face on the international scene. That's just what I remember.

| Optio | Some says that Turkey still has got some tactical nuclear misilles given by USA. And they also assert that Turkey has 20 or 50 nukes .Do you have any information about it? |

| Tribunus Laticlavius | It was my understanding that the USA withdrew all nuclear capable missiles from Turkey as part of the compromise to de-escalate the Cuban Missile Crisis. The idea, naturally, was the the USSR wanted Cuba as a missile base to counter the fact that we already had missiles within a nation bordering them. At least, that was the excuse they gave for pushing things to the point it got. Tactical nukes though, might not have been discussed in the equation.

| Nuclear Duck Hunter ![]() | When President Reagan decided that Russia was not complying with the SALT and Non Proliferation Treaties, he began a massive overseas buildup. Here are some of what we know about in Turkey. http://cns.miis.edu/research/wmdme/turkey.htm Turkey Weapons of Mass Destruction Capabilities and Programs1 Nuclear2
