Unclear if Nuclear.

The main reason I changed from Conventional/Nuclear to Unknown is that unless I am missing something, there has been no USDoD announcement. "Unnamed sources" are acceptable to use to say that it potentially is. But I feel it's taking too much to explicitly state it that way. Especially when one of the sources doubting it also lists another situation recently where "Unnamed sources" took a Chinese metaphor literally and assumed there was water instead of rocket fuel etc.

When the wiki article is claiming that it's a mix of nuclear and conventional, which could easily be a translation error or mistake, mistaking nuclear for AIP which would be far more likely, as Nuclear and conventional seems unusual. We need more than "unnamed sources" and "Pentagon Officials".

If there are explicit sources with something to back it up, then no issues. But it doesn't seem that way as it stands. Basetornado (talk) 05:22, 8 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
