In an “interesting” twist, it is reported that the US is developing a nuclear bomb 24 times more powerful than the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima, which will be operational by the end of the year.
In an unprecedented development, the United States is rapidly advancing the development of a new B13-61 nuclear bomb, the destructive power of which is expected to be 24 times greater than that of the Hiroshima bomb, according to security sources and a report by the Euronews website.
The project, part of a broader US program to modernize the nuclear arsenal, is showing signs of significant progress that could lead to the completion of the first production unit ahead of schedule.
A spokesman for the US National Safety Board (NTSB) explained in an interview with Fox News that the first unit of the new bomb will be completed before the end of the current fiscal year, seven months ahead of schedule. The bomb is an advanced version of the B61 nuclear bomb, and is part of seven programs to modernize the US nuclear arsenal.
