The US is extremely lucky to have never had to put any of this into practice considering they've dropped live armed nukes by accident on mainland US of A several times .. and at least one should have detonated (but failed, by the narrowest margin) to detonate.

These are accidents in Georgia, North Carolina, Texas, etc - see "Broken Arrows".

#1 Lesson: If a nuclear weapon does detonate, don't immediately assume enemy action.
