MISLEADING

It's true that nuclear weapons require a delivery system to reach their intended target 1 2 3. These systems are designed to place a nuclear weapon at or near its detonation point 1. However, the claim that nuclear weapons require a delivery system such as a large rocket is misleading because it implies this is the primary or sole example, when in reality there are several other major types 2 5. Delivery systems include more than just large rockets or missiles 2. For instance, nuclear warheads can be launched from the air via strategic bombers carrying gravity bombs or cruise missiles 5. The U.S. also develops air-delivered nuclear delivery systems using aircraft like the F-15E and B-2 4. Additionally, submarines are a key delivery method, often holding ballistic missiles 2 5. Both the United States and Russia deploy strategic warheads using a combination of bombers and missiles 6.
