Is there a nuke calling card in CoD MW4?

CoD has long had a signature challenge for earning a nuke in-game. It is a trademark challenge that has often been a part of the Dark Ops challenges in Black Ops or the regular challenges in Infinity Ward games.

But CoD Modern Warfare 4 seems to be limited in its challenge and calling card offering. One of those challenges and calling cards that is missing is the nuke calling card. But is it tucked behind a menu, or is it just missing completely?

CoD MW4 does not appear to have a calling card specifically for earning a nuke. Instead, the only calling card outside of any prestige calling cards is Ground Zero, which is unlocked if you earn a nuke in a free-for-all game.

This is somewhat surprising as the nuke is seen as a pinnacle killstreak to chase. 30 kills without dying unlocks the nuke, and almost every Call of Duty game has some kind of Nuke variant. While there isn't a nuke calling card, there are a number of pinnacle challenges with high requirements to complete, which do offer other calling cards.

The Nuke in MW4 is like many of the others in previous Call of Duty games, but this time it plays a cutscene animation instead of counting down in-match. At the end of the animation, your character parachutes out of the map and survives.
