B-61-12 for F-35. US finished gravitational nuclear bomb tests

US military officials talked about the secret 12 test of the B-61 gravitational nuclear bomb, according to Military.com.

We have already performed 26 engineering, debugging and flight tests. The program is going very well

- said Deputy Chief of Staff for the strategic deterrence and integration of nuclear weapons, General Jack Weinstein.

Upgraded bombs will be five times more accurate than their predecessors — the B61-3, B61-4, B61-7 and B61-10 munitions.

Class B bombs were developed in the 1963 year. Later they were “taught” to penetrate underground bunkers and control centers. This bomb is unique due to its tail, which allows you to control its fall and improves the accuracy of the strike.

The US military did not specify which aircraft were used during the tests. According to the publication, the new weapon Must be compatible with F-35 Lightning II Fifth Generation Multi-Function Fighter Platforms. It is expected that the first batch of bombs will go into service by the 2020 year.

The United States plans to place bombs on military bases in Europe - Germany, Italy, Turkey, Belgium and the Netherlands. According to estimates by the Congressional Budget Office for 30 years (2017-2046), upgrading tactical nuclear forces will cost 25 billions of dollars.

Gravity bomb ?! To be honest, for the first time I hear this. It is a pity the author did not explain what this means ...

[Non liberoid Russian]

it’s so because free fall bombs are probably designated

[Rostovchanin]

And I call the toilet in the country "Gravity toilet"

[Non liberoid Russian]

the same principles

[Uncle lee]

There is still a gravitational grenade! How many do not throw up, always fall down!

[voyaka uh]

The usual accurate bomb. Not planning.
Drop over the target. Using GOS and moving
it can fly its wings precisely in the target in flight.

[gavrila2984]

Accurate nuclear bomb. Does it make sense?

[voyaka uh]

There is. The baby stealth-F-35 flies with the radar turned off, in radio silence.
Above the target, the GPS opens the internal compartment. Resets.

[gavrila2984]

1. I mean, if it is nuclear, then it, plus minus 500 meters, is not particularly needed.
2. Judging by the video, She is still on the external sling, so the F-35 kid is not that stealth.
Correct if not right

Correct if not right

Accuracy is needed to destroy bunkers.

[voyaka uh]

You, in my opinion, are wrong.
1) For a small nuclear explosion of 10 kT - 500 m means
lots of. This is a blunder.
2) In the F-15 video, but these bombs are “sized” to fit
internal compartment F-35. Which is now the "NATO standard."

-----
Tactical nuclear weapons are in principle very dangerous.
A small nuclear explosion is difficult to distinguish from a large conventional explosion.
The start of a nuclear war can "sneak up on you."
On the other hand, for Russia, for example, to cope with China without
tactical nuclear weapons - a disastrous business, a deliberate loss.

[gavrila2984]

Regarding the last two comments.
If this bomb will be used against bunkers, or against not very deep, Or it should be powerful enough to hit. The question is, How much should the bunker be deepened to withstand the tactical nuclear weapons?
Second question. In addition to the F-35 bomb, it must either carry defensive weapons, or fly with escort. Again we rest against the dubiousness of stealth.

[voyaka uh]

"against not very deep, Or it should be powerful enough to hit." ///

A minimum atomic bomb of 10-15 kT is just enough to destroy a deep underground bunker without going deep into the ground. But hitting precisely and "shaking" the earth in depth.
Have you seen a video of how to detonate an underground Iranian missile depot in Syria? - About like a mini atomic bomb. The earthquake was 2.5 points.
The Americans reduced the power of such hydrogen bombs by a factor of 5, considering it sufficient. And by the way, almost no radiation. The bomb is clean.

[gavrila2984]

Is it if in the ground, but if in the mountain? And not to the warehouse, but to the bunker. And the bunker, if I’m not mistaken, is built with a certain seismic stability. A military facility though. No, I haven’t seen the video, will you drop the link?

[voyaka uh]

Well, I will not argue that it will be effective in all cases.
And the bomb is available in several versions: from 10 to 50 kT
To penetrate 50-70 m deep, screw-in concrete-piercing bombs are used. But they are huge, only with the B-2 or B-52 and can be reset.
They have a booster motor that starts to work underground and "screw" the body of the bomb deep into.

[gavrila2984]

This is again to the ground.

[just exp]

so I said about bullets 7.62, is it if it’s enough for a person, but if it’s armored personnel carrier? or BMP?
not, 7.62 g @ apparent caliber.
or is there for each type of target its own ammunition and for mountain buildings have its own ammunition?

[NG inform]

There are no clean atomic bombs. The rest of the ideas on nuclear weapons seem very strange, why might a small “hydrogen” bomb be needed? This contradicts its meaning, it is needed only for powerful broads. I’m already silent, that people think in vain that the “hydrogen” means that there the type of thermonuclear reaction prevails - in reality it is only a detonator.

[Nikolaevich I]

And this is already ....: pi ...... the harmonica was rejoicing, the accordion was playing! The Americans have been "wanting" such gravitational heel for a long time ... The essence of the Wishlist is like two fingers on the asphalt ... An adjustable (guided) penetrating (anti-bunker) bomb with a "small" .... "ultra-small" nuclear charge, designed to destroy of deeply buried objects ... “Due to the“ nuclear charge of comparatively (!) “small” power and “smooth penetration”, the following occurs: 1. “total” defeat of a large heavily buried object; 2. Radioactive soil is prevented! (There is no radioactive contamination of the area ... the district.) That is, all the damaging factors of the nuclear munition are "hidden in the depths". This is tricky .... with a bit of “consideration”, mericosa declares such nuclear munitions "environmentally friendly" and wants to untie a knot on the penis, that is, to reduce the number of obstacles for using nuclear weapons in a modern war ... to equate such a "tactical" nuclear weapon with high-precision to the usual "weapon and" boldly justified, "brandishing such a nuclear baton" left-to-right "in any" conflict "...

Hence, various "crafty" consequences are possible: 1. (According to American calculations, there will be no radioactive contamination of the area ...) ... In practice, we often encounter the fact that "home calculations with a bazaar price do not agree"!; 2. Radioactive isotopes remain in the ground ... can you figure out what might happen over time? ("Leakage" of groundwater ... etc); 3. Such a weapon lowers the "threshold" for starting a nuclear war: "removes the brakes "in the minds of the military and creates the temptation to use nuclear warheads as" ordinary "high-precision weapons in the" ordinary "con likte.No as accurate strikes "precision" weapons hospitals, residential buildings, we also know very well ....

Yars is a strategist. There are at least 150 kilotons each piece. And even more.

[Beltasir matyagu]

The yars has megatons, otherwise why such a strategist

Yes, I don’t argue. Yars is a good ICBM. Minuteman has the same accuracy.
Just answered the person that there are misses at 500 m

And a couple of necessary conditions - the presence of GPS, and being above the object. Somehow, the conditions of the task are a little preferential for some opponents.

British scientists have found that there is gravity on earth! and shared the discovery with the US military .Here is such cooperation in the name of Peace. Hallelujah.

The question is: WHY is the NUCLEAR bomb ?????

[NEXUS]

Quote: Magic Archer

Gravity bomb?! To be honest, for the first time I hear this.

Ordinary gravity bombs will become high-precision weapons. According to flightglobal.com, Lockheed Martin is testing the Paveway II Plus Laser Guided Bomb technology, which will turn conventional aerial bombs into laser-guided missiles.

These days, upgraded ammunition is being tested at the China Lake test site in the Mojave Desert, California. During the tests, the US military will test the operation of the Paveway II Plus system and its compatibility with the MK 80 and BLU-109 gravitational bombs.

Paveway II Plus Gravity Bomb Photo: lockheedmartin.com

The Paveway II Plus kit consists of a semi-active laser homing head, tail fin and pneumatic airflow controllers designed to automatically correct the direction of ammunition fall. If the tests are successful, Lockheed Martin will be able to compete with the Boeing Corporation, which supplies the American army with adjustable laser-guided bombs (Laser JDAM). According to representatives of Lockheed Martin, the Paveway II Plus system will significantly reduce the cost of re-equipping the army with "smart" ammunition. Another advantage of the new system is the ability to "recycle" old stocks of gravitational bombs, which are practically not used in modern warfare.

[Vlad.by]

It turned out that old ammunition can be used quite well and without making them 10 times more expensive, Hermes to help them ...

[renics]

(without making them 10 times more expensive) And not vice versa, making 10 times more expensive, the US military-industrial complex is not profitable to reduce the cost of its products, especially by developing and improving both the method of guidance and delivery. However, you can see the cost in open sources yourself.

[renics]

In the photo, the guided bomb GBU-10 (Guided Bomb Unit) is built on the basis of a 900-kg high-explosive or concrete-piercing bomb with a laser-guided kit. The GBU-10 uses the Mk.84 bomb. The GBU-10I version uses the concrete-breaking BLU-109B with the Paveway II kit. There are two generations of GBU-10 bombs: the Paveway I with fixed wings and the Paveway II with folding wings. And there are a lot of such modifications of Laser Guided Bombs and nuclear ones, especially gravitational ones, all the more so no one knows what it is, doesn’t have it.

Something from Star Wars or Startrek looks like)
But the base in Europe, this is not a joke.

[iouris]

Ordinary bombs fall anywhere, and the Americans invented gravitational bombs that fall only down.

[renics]

It absolutely doesn’t mean anything, just seen enough of Hollywood star wars, these Americans are dumbfounded by this to all that is connected with the weapon, sculpt exotic names. Apparently they think from this the destructive and destructive force will increase.

Quote: gippernano

I don’t understand, who are going to bomb with these bombs?

They are going to bomb Russia. This is also evidenced by the location of air bombs in Europe. It is possible to use these bombs against our air defense.

[gippernano]

What are they going to dump them 400 kilometers from Russia? They will be brought down closer, or someone else in f-35 still believes in invisibility?

[solzh]

Do they have only f-35 type? They and the greatest distances will fly.

[gippernano]

But at least that, let them have it, they won’t be able to throw a free-falling bomb on Russia.
God forbid, at least they would even accidentally drop the usual one, they will never come any further than Germany

[Logall]

To throw them on air defense, you need to fly over the air defense! The bombs are gravitational. And what kind of air defense are such that they will be allowed to be in close proximity ??? !!!

the first 2 waves - 500 axes each = air defense is recharged, then the aircraft enters the zone and strikes ..... something like this .... there will be little 2 times 500, they will do 4 times 500 and there is no ammunition for air defense

[Mestny]

Well, how in air defense, too, are not fools, and did you provide such an option?
Such a scenario is good for the case when there is nothing besides air defense.

[Logall]

Quote: Mestny

I agree! Media will begin to wet and much more ...
We are not Syria!

[Scalpel]

They, too, are not fools, and they plan losses from air defense. However, the breakthrough of even a small number of such aircraft through air defense can cause significant damage and significantly affect the course of the conflict. Even if a significant part of them will be knocked down.

[Logall]

Do not forget that we also have airplanes! And much more...

[Scalpel]

This is all known. Now we are not talking about a war on mutual annihilation. However, the appearance of new nuclear weapons carriers and the charges themselves always affects the balance of forces in the region of deployment. They have to be monitored, wasted effort and money to defend against them. And these same forces and means are not infinite.

[tagil]

The fact is that the smallest nuclear explosion on our earth entails a big explosion in America (bombs are theirs). So, when they will use them, after the suppression of air defense or before the suppression, a missile strike on Europe and the United States will be guaranteed. Something like that.

[Tiksi-3]

Quote: Mestny

Well, as in air defense, too, are not fools

Thank you, neighing, if the axes fly to Russia, the answer will be nuclear and the air defense will be practically unnecessary

[Sergey ippon]

in theory, instead of a note of protest, an answer should go, both for carriers and for specific goals, primary and secondary.

[MIG00001]

Let me make a correction: the first wave of 500 axes, and the Strategic Missile Forces suffered a lot - a lot of light and warmth for free, because the start of the scenario you described means that the jokes were over and the game went all the money, somehow

[Tiksi-3]

Quote: Villain

for the start of the scenario you are describing means that the jokes are over and the game went for all the money, somehow

so am I about the same (my second koment)

[Mihail28]

It seems to me that after the first ax, even if it is met, purely concrete will begin mochilo. Ubiquitous. No limits. Without waiting for peritonitis.

[shinobi]

Yes? And who will allow them? When exchanging strikes, even in the case of a local "limited nuclear war", airfields are struck simultaneously with missile bases. First of all. Any movement of aviation is monitored by over-the-horizon radars from the mid-60s. A sudden strike will not work in any situation. It is clear that for a simple layman there is little consolation that the answer will surely fly and the enemy’s kirdyk is inevitable. But this is a good brake for their strategists.

[Scalpel]

Even one plane breaking through an air defense with such a bomb is capable of "doing things." Let a significant part of them be intercepted.

[Vlad.by]

States in Europe lay mines. If not Russian, then the Americans themselves will undermine directly in the warehouses. In any case, they will get rid of one of the competitors. Not from Russians, but from the EU.
Any benefit.

[gavrila2984]

No, they just blackmail the EU. In the event of a mess, the EU will not turn away from the fight. As usual, the Americans will fight with the wrong hands.

[telemech]

I think, first of all, the US needs these bombs for use in unyielding "small countries", such as S. Korea and Iran.

[renics]

What they call a gravitational nuclear bomb is an ordinary missile with tactical nuclear weapons, only with improved guidance with a 4 meter deviation from a given point.

[Non liberoid Russian]

to get to the dumping place you need to overcome air defense ... against whom then are such ammunition? Papuans bearded?

[faridg7]

Quote: Not Liberoid Russian

to get to the dumping place you need to overcome air defense ... against whom then are such ammunition?

By the time these bombs are launched, according to their plans, the air defense will be suppressed, it remains only to destroy the infrastructure with the population. And to do it with bombs is much cheaper than missiles

[Mestny]

I repeat once again - just to suppress air defense is possible only if its owner has nothing else.
A massive attack on Russian anti-aircraft defense means an immediate response with available means, including nuclear ones.
So the second wave will not take place.

[faridg7]

Quote: Mestny

A massive attack on Russian anti-aircraft defense means an immediate response with available means, including nuclear ones.

Everything is certainly so, but there are nuances. Any air defense system has a limit on the number of simultaneously processed targets - after a certain number of downed missiles, you will need to stupidly recharge, and this takes a little time. The calculation is simple - there should be enough attacking missiles to be enough to defuse the air defense and destroy the launching strategists (well, anything like that is conceivable to get in order not to get a retaliatory strike). In general, the concept of instant global impact comes down to this. And while all the fuss with the installation of a missile defense system in Europe, the construction and distribution of the Tomahawk carrier ships over the waters indicates precisely the desire to be able to simultaneously launch a volley of so many missiles that our air defense simply cannot physically cope with

[shinobi]

And without the big words in the description, the mattresses can’t do it at all. An ordinary correctable free-falling aerial bomb. Yesterday. We are slowly taking them out of service even as tactical nuclear weapons, there’s too much fuss and no more bombs.

[basmach]

Well, how do you know about storage and use? Another "expert" in aviation and special warheads.

[Vlad.by]

And what's wrong? Or didn’t special magazines fill out and daily reports were not given 5 times a day?
Once a missile with a special warhead was brought to the division, so the entire brigade was nightmare for a month.
It would be better to be in a special storage
Maybe it’s not so in aviation, but in air defense it was evil and evil

[basmach]

I don’t know how in air defense. 4 a year in the regiment, he was part of the special-suspension crew (he participated, respectively), then with the "deaf-mute" So I saw the whole kitchen from one side and the other. Therefore, "not for every bomber" wrote. In almost every regiment there was a SBV group with a separate house behind the fence, they began to be removed in 90, and even then not everywhere, only from fighters. By and large, a free-falling UBC is no different from a conventional AB. There is a specificity in bombing, but it is the same with conventional ABs.

[Prisoner]

"Gravity" bomb sounds. How important is jewelry accuracy for a nuclear bomb and will the Turks agree to mark such bombs on their territory? And further . When are U.S. military officials about to launch the Death Star presentation?

[screw cutter]

The video clip impressed, for which they actually didn’t show the bomb. For some reason they bring, uncover, cling, fly with it and drop it. Yes, this is the most important thing in any bomb.

[gig334]

Upgraded bombs will be five times more accurate than their predecessors — the B61-3, B61-4, B61-7 and B61-10 munitions.

And the point is this? After all, an otter will fly to you, these are Topol, Satan, Yars, etc. And these missiles will sweep away all of America, even if they arrive slightly inaccurate)) In short, the military in Washington again saws the loot, again some small developments.

[Orkraider]

Different bombs are needed. Money is also good to earn and master, especially on what is not applicable in reality. Although after the third world, when there are no missiles left, the bomb itself is the most. Tear them at the place of storage, so that the ball has probably not recovered, yeah. In general, a good drink, long-term.

[Abram]

The bomb reveals all the imaginary danger of Russian-Chinese air defense. if air defense is dangerous then no one will spend money on the production of free-falling bombs, but will go the other way

[Bully]

Quote: Abram

The bomb reveals all the imaginary danger of Russian-Chinese air defense. if air defense is dangerous then no one will spend money on the production of free-falling bombs, but will go the other way

Air defense in itself is not dangerous for the aggressor. It is dangerous for an aggressor to receive a nuclear warhead strike in response to their territory. Accordingly, air defense without a weapon of retaliation does not guarantee any protection.

[Abram]

it means that the US missile defense system is much more effective than is commonly thought and in the medium term can stop the “retaliation weapons” - intercontinental ballistic missiles

[aKtoR]

Due to the twist at reset, the last stage of protection is removed.
"Throw up" to the goal without penetrating parts for ammunition of this type - it is something unimaginable)))
The task was to create a fundamentally new bomb to replace the arsenal of such ammunition, they stupidly created and mastered the means. Great benefits do not give. Even to create penetrating ammunition of this type, where precision is needed, it will take them about 10 years. Engage further useless development, overseas partners)))

The United States plans to place bombs on military bases in Europe - Germany, Italy, Turkey, Belgium and the Netherlands. According to estimates by the Congressional Budget Office for 30 years (2017-2046), upgrading tactical nuclear forces will cost 25 billions of dollars.

All nuclear aerial bombs were removed from Turkey due to a coup attempt. According to various sources, either before the attempt, or immediately after the attempt.

[gavrila2984]

Heh, what if they try to throw Erdogan off again? And what? There are many dissatisfied in the country, and the hype is mainly about the war with Iran. And here on you, in Turkey a coup! Manual Gulen on the throne - one time, agreement with manual Kurds - two, Unblocking Figs - three, Turkish Stream, Akkuyu and other economic troubles for Russia - four, access to the Black Sea - five, Mediterranean control at the borders of Syria - six .. This so, estimates.

Jewelry is definitely needed because this ammunition has several levels of power setting. It’s one thing when a strike with a power of 50 kt is struck at a ground target, and another thing is when a power of 0,3 kt or 5 kt
