The TN 60 was a French nuclear missile warhead. The 1 megaton TN 60 missile warhead entered service in early 1977 as an interim warhead for the MSBS M20 SLBM. The TN 60 was the first French warhead "hardened" to penetrate the Russian ABM defenses around Moscow. The TN 60 was replaced with the TN 61 The TN 61 was a French nuclear warhead.

M20 SLBM
The M20 was a French submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) deployed on the nuclear s from 1977. It was withdrawn from service by 1991. History The M20 was the third member of the MSBS (''Mer-Sol-Balistique-Stratégique'', "sea-ground ballistic strategic") family which comprised a number of submarine-launched, intermediate range missiles. The force constitutes the second leg of the French nuclear deterrent force. The M1 version went into service in 1971 and was phased out in favour of the M2 in 1974, itself replaced by the M20 in 1977. The new M4 missile entered service in 1985 and has replaced the M-20. French nuclear-powered submarines ( SNLE: ''Sous-marin Nucléaire Lanceur d'Engins'', "Nuclear Device-Launching Submarine"), are able to carry 16 missiles each. The oldest ship, ''Redoutable'', was not converted to carry the M-4 and was withdrawn from service in 1991. Logistical support for the MSBS fleet is provided by the Île Longue Naval Base in Brest Bay, where the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The TN 61 was a French nuclear warhead. It was a lighter weight version of the TN 60 warhead and quickly replaced it in service on the M20 SLBM A submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) is a ballistic missile capable of being launched from submarines. Modern variants usually deliver multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRVs), each of which carries a nuclear warhe ...s on the Redoutable class SSBNs. The TN 61 was also used on the SSBS S3D IRBM missiles. The 1 to 1.2 megaton yield weapon was in service between 1977 and 1991.
