I was unaware that US discouraged Taiwan from developing ballistic missiles. But I have alway question the usefulness of a nuclear bomb for Taiwan, for there was no way to project it to Chinese mainland. I only learn of IDF today, whose serviceability is doubtful as both sides of Taiwan Strait have numerous anti-aircraft missiles, that an airplane simply had no way of getting close to the other side.
