.TH Command ARM
.SY "arm <PLANE> warhead-type <NUMBER>"
The \*Qarm\*U command loads nuclear devices
aboard delivery systems such as planes or missiles.
It is possible that a given delivery system can carry a large load,
so it may happen that a missile could carry many nuclear devices.
.s3
`\*QArm\*U' is also used to wire a conventional explosive charge
(one shell) into any type of satellite, missile, or aircraft.  
You can then later on use the `\*Qblast\*U' command to destroy the 
vehicle (and cause damage to other things in the vicinity).
Such explosive charges installed in aircraft become a permanent piece
of the vehicle and cannot be disarmed.
.s3
No nuclear weapons can be delivered unless they are first loaded
aboard delivery vehicles.
However, until they are residing in a plane or missile, they
are considered invulnerable to attack (buried inside of mountains),
and cannot be used by any potential conqueror (they don't know the
fail-safe codes).
.s3
Note that anti-sat missiles must be armed with a nuclear device
before they can be used to destroy satellites.
