I know the U.S. had a nuke in the 8" size, but didn’t know the Russians did. They also do the 155mm round.

I want to say something like .05 kiloton. As for the radiation, I just don’t remember. I do remember them saying that firing the nuke in a 155 was also gonna mean you’re dead too. The 8" at the time had just about one mile more range, so I would think end results to be similar. They had a nuclear weapons school, and had the chance to go, but some body else took my slot. They’d know a lot more the I do on the subject.

What is it?
@Gary_Totty (et al) The US 155mm nuke round was better than that. According to Wikipedia, the W48 warhead had a range of around 8-10 miles and a yield of .072kt.
The really small, and perhaps suicidal weapon was the Davy Crockett. This was a recoilless rifle that fired a W54 warhead, with a yield of 20 tonnes TNT. It had a range of 1-2.5 miles (less than a modern tank) and was recommended to fire over a hill to provide some protection for the firing crew. I would shoot the 155mm, but not the Davy Crockett.

my fault as I forgot all about the charge eight powder charge. I’ve seen it, but never shot it. The normal max charge was a seven, and it was about eight and a half miles sea level to sea level. I only go by what they told us at Ft. Sill. Now a nuke from a 175 gun might work, as it had a 23 mile range.

The pictured gun is a Rapira MT-12 100 mm anti-tank gun. AFAIK there’s no 1/35th scale kit for it…

I’ve heard the panda kut is a pig, so it’s the trumpeter kit for me.
The panda BMD -1 is a pig indeed.
Someone asked recently what an ARB is. It’s like a DD-214 on steroids.
The date is wrong for the SADM course - that’s when it was officially entered into my records - yes, it was that closely guarded. Only entered because we did away with the Green Light program of which I was a member. Gary once talked about giving an 18 year old an automatic weapon. How about being nuclear qualified at 20? And on a weapon on which we were pretty certain the timers did not work…

What’s next? A burned out Antonov AN 225? Also from Revell, or this time from Zvezda?

I’d argue the point about the about tbe Abrams, after all the British Challenger does hold the record for the long distance kill.
