Nuclear Weapons

At the present time, Intensify Iron still produces nuclear weapons, primarily for the Broadhurst 5 ICBM/SLBM. Intensify Glass stopped producing nuclear weapons during the late 1980’s. The primary work of Intensify Glass is decommissioning obsolete fission warheads, and refurbishing older warheads for newer delivery systems. Latin America possesses over 16650 operational nuclear warheads.

Chemical Weapons

The ECAL also possesses an arsenal of chemical weapons. The ECAL started development of chemical weapons during the mid-1950's, using German scientists who had escaped to South America after the World War. They recommended a two stage program, the first stage would be a crash program to get some chemical weapons into the Latin American inventory, the second would be a long term program. The first, crash program produced results quickly. By 1957, the Latin American armed forces possessed a small stockpile of chemical weapons, including phosgene, mustard gas, tabun, and sarin. CS gas was also produced as a non-lethal agent.

These chemicals were poured into bombs, rocket and missile warheads, spray tanks, and artillery shells. Prior to commencement of the full program, extensive tests were conducted to find the best means of deployment. These tests were conducted with non-lethal chemicals which closely matched in weight, boiling point, vapour pressure, flast point, and viscosity the definitive chemical agents. The tests showed rapidly that spray tanks were ineffective. The tests had included tests against defences, including troops with anti-aircraft guns. The tests showed that an aircraft using a spray tank would either not be able to achieve the desired dispersion pattern for the chemical, or would be shot down quickly. The best method discovered in the tests was the use of newly-developed submunitions. Small bomblets released over a wide area created the best pattern.

Meanwhile production of the definitive chemicals proceeded quickly, with the chemical arsenals making by the early 1960's sarin, soman, and VX. By 1967, operational weapons were being delivered to the Army and Air Force.
