Not completely anymore. One of the reasons the system used by the US as PALs was not copied was that the leadership may be incapacitated before further weapons release is authorized. However , the release of codes is reportedly not with the NCA as such. While they are authorizing release of weapons.. they do not hold the "locks" to the codes. They do hold key numbers that unlock the authorization process in the system. This then ends with the releasing of launch authorizations down a tree that eventually heads to the various nukes we have dispersed.. which are then mated to their various launch platforms.
Tac Nukes on systems such as the Nasr may also follow similar procedure but in their case the NCA would still be very active and capable of providing instructions. So perhaps their locations are alerted earlier as compared to the locations of our more strategic systems.
Understood.
The last part of your response was what I am interested in.
You reckon the Tac Nukes may have per-authorization ? or maybe it will be a N factor less authorization system than the bigger nukes ?
Point being, it takes relatively a very short times for tank commanders to alter formations.
By the time the opposing commander fully understand he's been surprised, it may be too late already.
Thus the smaller Tac Nukes may be be fielded requiring less factors of authorizations than the normal ones.
