On Oct. 27, the Pentagon announced it was pursuing a new nuclear weapon, known as the B61-13, an air-delivered gravity bomb that - if developed and deployed - would have a far higher explosive yield than the current new gravity bomb being built, the B61-12. This news is weird, frankly. A thread.

Important to note that although the plan is to buy 1,000 LRSO missiles, half of those will be test-launch and backup. The number of LRSOs carrying a nuclear warhead will be the same as for the current ALCM: about 500. warriormaven.com/air/pentagon... Background: www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10....
