All,
Always been impressed with the US fixation on nuclear propulsion.
This one is from the mid-50's: TV-8 was a Chrysler proposal and was to be a medium-tank, powered by nuclear power.
The technical challenges were massive and it was obvious why it got cancelled after all.
But..... What If?
How would NATO react to nuclear-powered tanks all over the country-side?
Accidents will happen. Now what?
Deployment of some of those to Vietnam is of course also possible. That should make everyone very happy.
Russian counter-strokes?
