US Air Force intends to increase the number of air bases with storage of nuclear weapons

The United States intends to increase the number of air bases in the United States with nuclear weapons... As follows from the data of the Federation of American Scientists, by 2030 their number will increase to five.

Currently, the US Air Force has five strategic air bases aviation, but only two of them have nuclear weapons storage facilities. If the American strategic bombers B-52H Stratofortress, B-2 Spirit and B-1B Lancer are deployed at Minot air bases in North Dakota, Whiteman in Missouri, Barksdale in Louisiana, Ellsworth in South Carolina and Dyess in Texas, then nuclear weapons are stored only at air bases Minot and Whiteman.

While the basis of US strategic aviation is B-52H, B-2 and B-1B, the Air Force command seems to be satisfied with this situation, but with the advent of the newest strategic bomber B-21 Raider, the military demands to deploy nuclear weapons storage at the other three air bases.

Whether work is already underway in this direction has not yet been reported, but judging by the deadlines, it can be assumed that they have already begun.

Meanwhile, it became known that the first two samples of the B-21 Raider have already been assembled and are undergoing ground tests, flights are scheduled for the next year, 2022. The US Air Force stressed that starting from the first flight model, the aircraft will receive systems and software for delivering nuclear strikes. However, in the first few years of service, the aircraft will not be certified for the transport and use of strategic weapons.

The B-21 Raider has been in development for the United States Air Force since 2015, when Northrop Grumman was awarded a contract to build it. The new bomber is based on the "flying wing" design.

The US Air Force command expects the first bombers to enter service in the mid-2020s. According to available information, it is planned to purchase at least one hundred new aircraft, which should gradually replace the aging strategic bombers B-52 Stratofortress and B-2 Spirit.

Anglo-Saxons, servants of the devil! It was they who invented the hellish weapon and they were the first to test it on humans, what other proof is needed for this statement?

approval?

unambiguously, the USA is the empire of Satan, the servants of Satan rule there, it was about them that JFK spoke about before he was demonstratively executed.
I do not think they are increasing the number of air bases since
placed on them with nuclear weapons with the aim of bury the money, I am sure that the long-playing plan of the Naglo-Saxons to destroy Russia is being carried out

with an increase in the number of points, the throughput increases, quite consonant with a massive breakthrough

First of all, they are already afraid of the plan against Russia, China.

Eugene agree! They again want blood and profit .. Russia is terribly preventing them from establishing their hegemony .. But Russia, too, seems to be recovering and already understands what is what and how .. If we are to fight, then immediately with the "hornet's nest" and it does not matter who is in Russia will attack this time !!!!
Well, you understand Eugene what I mean ..

After the decision of the Congress to increase the budget for nuclear weapons, there is no reason to be surprised.

[Alex777]

For February 2018:

The air component of the triad (USA) consisted of 46 nuclear-capable B-52H strategic bombers and 20 B-2A nuclear strategic bombers with a low level of unmasking features (of the "stealth" type).

Only a fraction of US strategists can carry nuclear weapons.
Therefore, they did not need to have nuclear storage where these planes did not exist.
The B-21 will have a different story.
And with START-3 it is not clear what will happen.

Their plans are huge, but whether they can be implemented is a big question. It's just that when they start to openly brag and threaten in advance, some "grain of sand in the mechanism" necessarily happens and the plans fly into the furnace.

[rocket757]

It's like what to see ...
If you listen to their experts, they are doing something super, super, new, as it were. In this as it is not very hard to believe.
Just replacing one technique with another, without any real breakthroughs in the military field, with performance characteristics that is not very superior to the existing one ... this may well happen.
It's just a natural process of changing technology.
This happens to everyone who can afford it and has the appropriate technology.

Yes, but! The culture of production and "old" technologies work wonders.

[voyaka uh]

The technology of designing military aircraft has changed dramatically.
Design has become fast. Approximately three years from the first sketch
before the first flight.
This is why the B-21 appears so rapidly. Simultaneously with design
launched the construction of a new plant.
The B-21 is based on the proven B-2 and F-35 technologies.
But the scale of production will depend on funding, of course.

[rocket757]

Everything is correct. Read / listened to the engine designer's revelations. Everything is clear and understandable, new methods of research, design and the like, speed up the process of creating new engines significantly.
The wonders of science, you might say so.

Read / listened to the engine designer's revelations. Everything is clear and understandable, new methods of research, design and so on, the like, speed up the process

Requirements for modern aircraft engines increase sharply under the performance characteristics of specific machines and often completely new production technologies have to be applied, which leads to an "upgrade" of entire industries, as well as to redesign the direction of designers, to train and introduce specialists of a new level. Time, I emphasize, the engine is 10 years old, no less.

[rocket757]

I can't talk about the motor, not my topic, but the process of developing / designing printed circuit boards, for example, has changed a lot! Once it was manually developed, not quickly, but now a program, a computer, copes with such work quickly and efficiently.
The wonders of science, computerization, however.
Comp has not yet been able to invent something new, but he is already able to design the optimal one, in accordance with the information invested in it.
This is not creativity, of course, good-quality work, which also helps, speeds up the design process.

[Gardener91]

PCB design, for example, has changed a lot!

They also go away from printed circuit boards. Monoblock circuits with fiber optic or laser wiring. 3D printing with growing crystals in a processor block scheme is a matter of the near future, or maybe already.

[rocket757]

Now, and in the future, there will be different options for mounting R / E.
This is normal, it is technologically justified.

Yes, but at least 10 years for the engine.

[rocket757]

You can add a lot more, which makes the not very new technique much better. If these are miracles, then science, technology and so on, so on. Nobody argues with this.
But, this is not fundamentally new ... which means that the opposition to these "miracles" will be about the same plan.
This is all clear, logical and .... however, we will see, and countermeasures must be prepared now.

Also test, implement, master and work out the tactics of combat use before rebounding from the teeth. Long-playing organ, isn't it?

[rocket757]

So it is a common occurrence / situation that the means of counteraction are lagging behind the means of attack ... unless they come out of the "one drawing board"! It happens the other way around, but less often.

We certainly don't have such people, but let them do it on their territory ...

[rocket757]

We'll have to respond to the plans there accordingly. There is no other way.

[cniza]

It would be if they increased the number in the arsenal, and so they will place what they have in stock on their existing bases ...

[rocket757]

So yes, just mark all business on the map.

[cniza]

I think they have long been labeled as strategist bases ...

Yes, the striped fish will never leave Russia alone in their lives. Although they cherish the dream of getting a second Boris in order to take Russia without a fight.

[rocket757]

For someone else's wealth, a resource base, there are always those who want to rake all this for themselves.
Stripes, naglo-Saxons, are always in the forefront of this matter.

This is correct and give l / s good smartphones so that the information reaches the GRU GSh faster))))

[cniza]

The United States intends to increase the number of air bases in the United States with nuclear weapons deployed on them.

So the flag is in your hands, what's so interesting about that?

[Reviews]

Interestingly, the B-2 is not everywhere covered with the notorious "stealth coating" or is it so persistent that you can walk on it like this? Mats, it seems, are not visible ...

[Adimius38]

The United States is really preparing for a war with Russia, and in my opinion, they no longer hide it. They are preparing for a lightning war in which all forces and means will be involved literally in the first hours from all directions

[richard the lionheart]

and it is right,
