USTIO Detonates First 10 MT Nuclear Warhead

At 5:00am GMT today, the very first nuclear war head USTIO has developed was test detonated over Cowley Desert. It has been a long time since USTIO decided to inform the world that it would be nuclear power and has purchased weapons and created it's own. Last week, USTIO scientist decided to detonate the first nuclear weapon ever on home soil. And so it was.

The wind was blowing due south-east, away from the major cities and any towns and villages that are expected to suffer from the after effects were evacuated. At 4:30am, one high level Vulcan bomber took off from McStanley Airbase and started it's historic journey towards the desert to drop the bomb in the dead centre of the barren desert.

As soon as the the clock hit 5:00am, the bomb detonated over the desert as the the scientists sheilded their eyes in fear of losing their sight completly. They were reported to be concentrating in their trailer on the monitors which were hidden to stop prying eyes. After the shockwave and the intense light had passed safely, then and only then did the scientist dare look at the cloud that the doomsday weapon
had created.

Results showed no unexpected things, everything has been reported to have gone on without a hitch.

In the eyes of many nuclear nations this will not seem like much, 10 MT war head may not seem that much in comparision to 50 or 60 MT floating around out there, but in the short history of this little nation it is an historic day that will always be remembered.

USTIO's current missile and bomb complement is as follows.....

3 Five MT Short - medium range nuclear missiles
2 Five MT Medium - long range nuclear missiles
2 Ten MT nuclear bombs
2 Two MT nuclear bombs

A small stockpile (And it will remain small thoughout USTIO's future) is cheaper to keep and maintain but there is enough to defend ourselves as today has just proven. This is USTIO's second step on the nuclear ladder.

"I am so very glad you feel it necessary to harm the Earth in such a way merely to find more ways to destroy it in the first place. I sincerely hope you do not have any more such 'tests' planned in the future."

"I sincerely hope you do not have any more such 'tests' planned in the future."

As a fact of fact, we don't. We are well aware of the after effects of a Nuclear blast and do have our concerns. Future nuclear investments in USTIO will be conducted following along the lines of the test we've just conducted.

What exactly is the intention of your esteemed country in nuclear testing as to indeed heightening security threats of the entire globe?

It increases our knowledge of nuclear weapons and their potential damage and "safety" to our nation.

It is a step towards a more powerful USTIO.

Agreed, they are dangerous weapons but advancements in our technology allow nations to make such advancements such as ours. Many other nations have nuclear weapons, why not USTIO.

We do not intend this to escalate into conflict like the FC incident, the test has happened and nobody can now change that.

Our government welcomes your nation into the nuclear community, seeing as our current arsenel of 900 ICBM's is being fazed out in favor of space-based weaponry, could we interest you in some of our 'finest' quality nukes?

Automated Message to New Nuclear Power:

Wolfish recognizes your right to possess and test nuclear weapons. Your recent test demonstrates that you have the ability to defend your nation - but only your restraint in using that power shows your maturity as a nation.

If Wolfish can help you develop that maturity, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Wolfish, we would love for you to help us through our first stages as a nuclear power, with your help relations between our to contries will increase for the better.

In response to the nation of The Vuhifellian States:

We are interested but we will not purchase any more weapons just yet, we aren't a large nation and we intend to keep nuclear weapon costs down for the time being. But we will contact you in the future if we are still interested.

USTIO Foreign Minister
