"Pentagon Unveils Devastatingly Powerful Nuclear Bomb, Dwarfing Hiroshima's Impact"

The Pentagon has announced its pursuit of a new nuclear bomb, the B61-13, which will be 24 times more powerful than the bombs dropped on Japan during World War II. Seeking congressional approval and funding, the Department of Defense aims to develop a modern variant of the B61 nuclear gravity bomb to address the changing security environment and growing threats from potential adversaries. The bomb will have a similar yield to the B61-7, with modern safety, security, and accuracy features. If approved, it will replace some of the current B61-7s in the U.S. nuclear stockpile without increasing the overall number of weapons.
