Introducing the B61-12

Making the use of nuclear weapons "thinkable" for the first time since the 1940s- the combination of accuracy and low-yield make the B61-12 the most usable nuclear bomb in America’s arsenal. That’s because accuracy is the most important determinate of a nuclear weapon’s lethality.

Tensions between the US and Russia are already at a near-term high in recent weeks, and look to be getting even worse amid new reports from Germany’s ZDF that the US intends to deploy new nuclear weapons (the B61-12!) to Germany and upgrade its nuclear infrastructure across Europe.
