The result of the Indo-Pakistani air combat has stimulated the acceleration of U.S. nuclear bomb production.
According to reports from the American "Defense Daily" and Russia's TASS on May 7, the most advanced U.S. nuclear bomb B61-13, originally scheduled for production by the end of next year, has been prompted to start production this month after being stimulated by the news of fighter planes performing excellently in the air combat between India and Pakistan. President Trump requested the Department of Defense to commence production of the B61-13 just 12 hours after receiving an update on the frontline situation from India.
This nuclear bomb is currently one of the superior atomic bombs globally; its volume is only one-third that of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, yet its explosive power is 24 times greater, reaching an equivalent of 360 kilotons of TNT. Moreover, it can be carried by the majority of U.S.-made aircraft, with a precision of throwing accuracy at the ten-meter level.
At this crucial moment, the United States announcing the commencement of production of the new atomic bomb clearly conveys a warning message. It seems that the excellent performance of the J-10CE, combined with the coordination of airborne and ground early warning radar systems, as well as the PL-15 air-to-air missiles that lead the United States by a generation, has made Trump feel the need to have some means of self-defense.
