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.
