NBC - NUCLEAR BIOLOGICAL
CHEMICAL
The biggest perceived threat during
the Cold War was the use of Nuclear weapons, not just the
Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles that were able to flatten
cities and everything up to 28 miles away from the explosion, but
the one used in an Conventional war, the Battlefield Nuclear
devices, such as Bombs, Rockets and Artillery Shells. These would
have a much shorter range than their bigger cousins and much less
powerful, devastating smaller areas, and more likely to be used
against troop concentrations, bridge heads, defensive positions
and as a tool for area denial. Another threat was the use of
Chemical and Biological Weapons which could also be delivered by
Conventional means. In the 1980's British Army trained extensively
for such eventualities and was equipped with some of the best NBC
Protection in the world.
