The proposed new bombs would be 24 times as powerful as the one dropped on Hiroshima.

The Biden regime on Monday announced plans to develop a nuclear weapon 20 TIMES more destructive than the one President Harry Truman ordered dropped on Hiroshima in 1945.
This comes just days it was revealed China planned to double its nuclear warheads by 2030. China currently possesses at least 500 nuclear warheads so doubling its arsenal would mean more than 1,000.
Sadly, Joe Biden is no Truman so the thought of him getting America into a nuclear arms race and potential war with China is scary to say the least.
To make matters worse, this announcement also comes as Russia was largely expected to announce it was pulling out of the 1966 Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty as Fox News notes. This was designed to ban nuclear explosions anywhere in the world though it was never ratified by China, India, Pakistan, North Korea, Israel, Iran, and Egypt.
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Space Policy John Plumb said in a press release that the Regime is seeking congressional approval and funding to pursue a modern variant of the B61 nuclear gravity bomb, which will be designated the B61-1

The US military has announced it will try to develop a new nuclear bomb more than 20 times more powerful than the one dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, in August 1945 that led to the end of World War II.
A Defense Department fact sheet says the new weapon, dubbed the B61-13, would have a blast yield similar to the B61-7 bomb’s 360 kilotons of TNT.
By comparison, the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima had a blast yield of 15 kilotons of TNT — making the new bomb 24 times more powerful.
The creation of the B61-13 must first be approved and funded by Congress.
If that happens, manufacture of the new weapon would be the job of the Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration.
“Today’s announcement is reflective of a changing security environment and growing threats from potential adversaries,” Assistant Secretary of Defense for Space Policy John Plumb said in a Friday statement.

Pentagon announces new nuclear bomb 24 times more powerful than one dropped on Japan
Published October 30,2023
The Department of Defense announced its pursuit of a nuclear bomb that will be 24 times more powerful than one of the bombs dropped on Japan during World War II.
The Pentagon is seeking congressional approval and funding to pursue a modern variant of the B61 nuclear gravity bomb, which will be designated the B61-13, according to a DoD press release.
“Today’s announcement is reflective of a changing security environment and growing threats from potential adversaries,” Assistant Secretary of Defense for Space Policy John Plumb said in the release. “The United States has a responsibility to continue to assess and field the capabilities we need to credibly deter and, if necessary, respond to strategic attacks, and assure our allies.”
A fact sheet included with the release said the B61-13 will have a similar yield to the B61-7, which according to a Defense News report, has a maximum yield of 360 kilotons. The load is 24 times larger than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, during World War II, which was about a 15 kiloton bomb. The B61-13 would also be about 14 times larger than the bomb dropped on Nagasaki, which was 25 kilotons.
According to the fact sheet, the powerful new bomb will also “will include the modern safety, security, and accuracy features of the B61-12.”
The announcement comes amid rising tensions around the globe, with the U.S. conducting a high-explosive experiment at a nuclear test site in Nevada earlier this month. Corey Hinderstein, the deputy administrator for defense nuclear nonproliferation at the National Nuclear Security Administration, said the test was meant to advance “our efforts to develop new technology in support of U.S. nuclear nonproliferation goals.”
