During the Cold War of the 1980s, to counter the Former Soviet Union, Eagle Country deployed various numbers of nuclear weapons in countries such as Turkey, the Netherlands, and Belgium.
Incirlik Air Base was home to fifty B-61 tactical nuclear warheads.
They were all nuclear bombs, delivered by bomber aircraft, with each possessing a yield between ten and one hundred kilotons.
These warheads had been deployed and maintained at Incirlik Air Base for decades, a testament to the honeymoon period between Eagle Country and Turkey.
However, as the situation in the Middle East Region changed dramatically, in the international political landscape of recent years, these tactical nuclear warheads had become Eagle Country's balls in Turkey's hands. Whenever it suited them, Turkey would give them a hard squeeze, making Eagle Country ache.
In effect, these tactical nuclear warheads had become hostages.
