The US military announced its plans for the B61-13 on October 28, stating that “Congressional authorization and appropriation” would be necessary to develop the weapon.It may, thus, not wholly come as a surprise that the Pentagon is now looking at building a higher-yield nuclear bomb.Intriguingly, the latest announcement comes days after the Pentagon released a report on China’s military power that detailed Beijing’s swelling arsenal of nuclear warheads.Since the B61-12 and -13 are just repurposing the warheads of previous bombs into new housings, they are not technically “new” nuclear weapons that add to the arsenal.Besides Russia’s already existing nuclear facilities, China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has been constructing massive, reinforced silo fields for intercontinental ballistic missiles.targets, highly, b6112, bomb, military, nuclear, destructive, pentagon, gravity, nukes, plans, facilities, weapons, bombs, states, demolish, hardened, b6113, #trending , #youtube , #thespokesperson , #google
