Russian expert: The US shows off the new nuclear weapon B61-13 to scare Russia and China!
It is said that this thing mainly targets underground facilities in Russia and China.
On May 24, Russian media published an article by an expert.
The Americans once again brandished the nuclear whip and showed off their new toy—the nuclear bomb B61-13 to the world.
Reportedly, its explosive yield is 360,000 tons, 21 to 24 times that of the explosion in Hiroshima.
It is claimed that it mainly targets underground military facilities in China and Russia. It can penetrate 60 meters of reinforced concrete or 30 meters of solid rock layers.
The Americans described a scene: delivered by B-2 or B-21 bombers, the nuclear bomb penetrates concrete and rocks, just like scenes from Hollywood blockbusters, how scary! The end of Russia and China has come!
But a Russian commentator wrote: "Do Americans think we will sit idly by while their B-2 bombers take off and gently drop bombs?"
All of this will not happen.
Russian experts said: even if the B-2 or B-21 is as stealthy as advertised, modern air defense systems such as Russia's C-400 or China's HQ-9 will see them from afar. American pilots had better check their parachutes in advance.
Russia's X-6 may not be the newest, but the cruise missiles it carries can strike thousands of kilometers away. They will reach the target before American pilots finish refueling the B-2.
Of course, B61-13 sounds very frightening, but in fact, it seems more like something the Pentagon uses to remind itself.
In a world where nuclear deterrence is based on ballistic missiles, satellites, and cyber warfare, dropping bombs from airplanes is like trying to win a bicycle Formula One race.
Yes, it looks beautiful, but it's useless.
As Russian netizen KotNaTanke said: "Americans can only display their bombs in museums, and we can safely drink tea. ????"
