For testing aircraft used F-15E. This fighter-bomber, which in addition to the US is in service with the Air Force of Saudi Arabia, Israel, the Republic of Korea and Singapore.

The agency reports that the bomb tests successfully passed another 8 on August at the Tonopah test site (Nevada) without using a nuclear warhead. The landfill in the USA is known as the 52 Zone. Valid from 1957 year. It was over this proving ground that the US Air Force aircraft worked out air battles with Soviet-made aircraft. Recently, a previously closed program has resumed.

Deputy Director of Nuclear Security Administration Phil Calbos said:
The B61-12 testing program runs on schedule, which meets national security requirements. Tests confirm the design characteristics of the B61-12.


In Nevada, conducted a regular test bomb B61-12


According to some data, the main focus of the tests was on testing the tail of a bomb capable of carrying a nuclear charge.
Such bombs the United States plans to place on the base in Germany, replacing their previous modifications.

      Tests are carried out by everyone, but why bombs, whom to bomb. It will be problematic to get them to the place.

        This issue of war suggests in Washington the following
        To bomb those who: 1) do not or 2) what the main thing is that it will not be (that is, it will be defeated after an anticipatory preemptive strike by the aggressor) the air defense system.Will finish off (crush) the country's production centers, if there is no surrender of the victim country.
        The second strategy of the Pentagon is designed to wage war against Russia with the goal of its geopolitical destruction.

            Alex! You have a counter question. And what will happen to Russia after its PHYSICAL elimination? After all, a holy place is never empty!
            The "geopolitical" destruction of Russia means the military dismemberment of its territory and the formation of other states on it, which cannot happen without the destruction of its infrastructure.

                And your comment is correct! Why physically smash the territory of a country if it already agrees to be an invader colony? Now, when the victim country does not agree, the aggressor will smash its territory - and then selectively!

                  Before the bomb can be punished in other ways. For example, the ruble.

                    We are talking specifically about the US atomic bomb and the appropriateness of its use in Russia.
                    And so the US Federal Reserve has long been “punishing” all countries for their dollarization.

                This is all true, but there is one more thing. Russia is the only country in the world that can destroy the geopolitical hegemon, even at the cost of destroying the whole world! That hegemon does not like it ... request I really do not like it! wink hi

                  Not the only one. Any of the existing nuclear powers is technically capable of causing unacceptable damage to the United States. I am sure that the United States does not like this. However, they are not going to strike a preventive strike against anyone from the nuclear club. No reason. Nuclear war is utopia.

                    A similar error already existed before the start of World War II, which did not save from its beginning. Do not overestimate human sanity.

            They will bomb cities with a peaceful people.
            Just a peaceful man, as such, is not interested in them. This is no longer a test, as such, of US atomic bombs, as was the case in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
            It is beneficial for the aggressor to keep ecology for the future settlement of the territory of Russia by foreigners as PURE for himself.
            Therefore, the aggressor will destroy the infrastructure of Russia, on which the possible restoration of the country's defense depends. These are large industrial cities, railway junctions, etc. - Of course, along with the peacekeeper. The rest of the population is supposed to crush and force to surrender with tanks, artillery and infantry, etc.

              Read. They do not need teretoria. They need to physically destroy the Russians as a people.

        Very correct question!
        First you need to get away from the air battle with the enemy’s IA, then break through the air defense, because high-precision nuclear warheads will, by definition, be used against highly protected military installations (this is why they were created). And such objects have a layered object defense. OS, for example, in addition to the most powerful missile defense / air defense and electronic warfare systems, even have ground-based KAZ, which turns everything into a sieve within a radius of 6000m. And the B61-12 has a KVO of ten meters, i.e. she must fly to the silo, where she is already waiting for the mortars with hundreds of thousands of striking elements in the form of balls ....
        All of this is complicated ... The Amy put the wrong horse, the wrong one!
