Britain’s Nuclear Threat | British Army Vs Russia

Britain’s Nuclear Threat, features Michael ‘Spud’ Taylor, a veteran of the cold-war. Mick served with 50 Missile Regiment Royal Artillery. Stationed in Germany as part of the BAOR, they used the Lance missile system, to eliminate Russian targets who had invaded NATO territory. It was estimated Mick and his colleagues would have been wiped out within 30 minutes if the cold war heated up.

Transcript from ‘Britain’s Nuclear Threat’ podcast

Mike – I wanted to be a mechanic to be honest and that was the best way of getting qualified. 50 was the only new British nuclear regiment in the British army. I was in 51 Battery and I’ll say hello to all the lads if they’re watching. 51 Battery came from 24 Missile Regiment, which was based in Dortmund and they basically took it down and just made the one regiment. I think which was just 50. It was the only nuclear regiment in the British Army and I only recently learned that we had a 30-minute lifespan. I don’t know true this was. The Soviets at the time had special units to come and take us out.

Chris and James

C – James, how are you brother?

J – Very well, good morning Chris, well it’s proper afternoon where you are.

C – Hey, the way my head is it could be morning, noon or night?

J – It doesn’t really matter to me at the minute with this Corona thing going on, I’m stuck in the house no matter what.

C – It kinds of bring home the importance of routine.

J – It gives me a lot of time to work on my writing.

C – Of course. I think writing and podcasting are the two disciplines the flourish under these conditions. I call it a fiasco.

J – It certainly does, I don’t have the technical skills down for this, but I’ve been participating in a lot of Zoom calls, more in this last year than in my whole entire life, which is quite a few!
