  • Abstract
    Both the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the Warsaw Pact have deployed thousands of nuclear weapons in European nations for use if war breaks out. Current NATO doctrine includes the use of nuclear weapons in the early stages of such a battle if NATO appears to be losing. Would the vast quantities of electronics deployed by the United States and its allies survive on such a battlefield?
