Wait, they train with live nukes? Why? Just in case the US needs to nuke North Korea? A military exercise is taking place as we speak, all while Kim Jong Um is launching ICBMs and issuing threats to show off.
Probably because the only real way to know you can fly with real nukes is to fly with real nukes. Anyone who has done integration testing with mocked stuff knows you never have a perfect analog.
Imagine if the practice nukes armed with an “ARM” command, but the real ones expect “ARM\n”… that kinda stuff.
