Only yesterday the Republic of Lammashta released an announcement stating the President's desire for a orbital nuclear weapons platform, and has caused an uproar across the globe. Some nations believe that Lammashta is too small and unstable to work toward such a goal. Others believe this project to be a wrong and unfair advantage, while only a few support Lammashtan President Burkett.

However, today military scientists made it clear that the country is going full steam ahead with this program by brainstorming possibilities for a nuclear warhead. Now, right now, the one they most agree on is to have a series of high explosives detonate simultaneously around a large subcritical plutonium sphere, much like the bomb that was dropped over Nagasaki, Japan in World War 2. We have heard reports that such a bomb would NOT be used in the program, but if it were developed, it would be launched via aircraft.

At the time this goes to press, the People's Republic of Lammashta have no air force, but are actively seeking out potential aircraft to purchase from other nations.
