"Pentagon Unveils Devastatingly Powerful Nuclear Bomb, Dwarfing Hiroshima's Impact"

The Pentagon has announced its pursuit of a new nuclear bomb, the B61-13, which will be 24 times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima during World War II. Seeking congressional approval and funding, the Department of Defense aims to develop this bomb to address the changing security environment and growing threats from potential adversaries. The B61-13 will have a similar yield to the B61-7, with a maximum yield of 360 kilotons. The bomb will include modern safety, security, and accuracy features, and will be deliverable by modern aircraft. If approved, it will replace some of the current B61-7s in the U.S. nuclear stockpile without increasing the overall number of weapons.
