That was an interesting tangent you went on, talking about Cold War mindsets of fighting when tactical nuclear weapons are introduced. That would be a good topic to do for a future video, how NATO planned to fight using battlefield nukes. Pentomic divisions would be a good example.

I saw the video yesterday and I thought it was a recent upload... I am really not catching up with life. Anyway, interesting. When I worked on armoured vehicle design, some clients came around cherry picking the merkava. This is very cool and that too. But they did not actually WANT those solutions. they liked the idea of the features but had other weighting for the trade offs. As in many engineering solutions, i believe they chose a bold approach and it paid off
