The Pentagon is seeking congressional approval for its pursuit of a new nuclear weapon, which would serve to update US nuclear arsenals.The weapon, the B61-13, is a variant of the B61 series of weapons that the U.S. first introduced in the 1960s. Production will not expand the U.S. arsenal, as the production of B61-12s will be lowered inversely, as B61-13s are produced. The weapon is estimated to be 22-24x stronger than the weapons dropped on Japan in World War II.
The previous model, B61-12, can carry out earth-penetrating attacks, low-yield and high-yield attacks, above surface detonation, and bunker-buster options, Insider previously reported.President Joe Biden's administration has proposed building a new nuclear bomb as the production of weapons to replace the aging U.S. stockpile ramps up.
The Pentagon is seeking congressional approval and funding to pursue a modern variant of the B61 nuclear gravity bomb, which will be designated the B61-13, according to a DoD press release.
