A week ago, the U.S. national nuclear security administration announced the transition to the final phase of the four-year development phase of modernized nuclear bomb B61−12 will begin mass production of these munitions. These actions allegedly caused by the bomb are still in service modifications consists of “very old components, after modernization it will be “at least 20 years.” It is expected that the total project cost of the B61−12 will amount to 8.4 billion dollars, and in General, the American program to upgrade nuclear forces plans to spend up to $ 450 billion.
Not lagging behind U.S. ally and London. Here the Western “double-entry bookkeeping” appears even more obvious. Less than a week since the inauguration of the new Prime Minister of great Britain Theresa may, as the house of Commons sanctioned the modernization of British nuclear forces. Argument in favor of such a step for Theresa may are her own references to the threat allegedly posed by Russia and North Korea.
On that count Washington and London on the one hand, offering to continue the reduction of nuclear arsenals with other modernizing their own nuclear weapons, targeting, aside from the included in a habit of hypocrisy, not on Iran or North Korea, and Russia? After all, ammunition series B61 not only are armed with strategic nuclear forces of the United States, but also in Europe. Up to 400 units stored at U.S. military bases in the UK, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy and Turkey. Their upgraded version will also be aimed at upgrading the U.S. units deployed on the European continent. In particular, at least 20 bombs of the type B61-12 is planned to place at the airbase of the Bundeswehr in Rhineland-Palatinate.
The power of the upgraded bomb will be about 50 kilotons of TNT. The product will get a tail rudder and will be corrected and will lose the bulky parachute system that will allow you to use as carriers of these nuclear bombs promising fighters F-35 Lightning II, the air force will be equipped with a start in 2018. Not only that: the Americans are planning to transfer control over the use of these kits nuclear weapons to its European allies. Has repeatedly reported about how the American instructors actively teach the nuclear weapon air force pilots of Poland and the Baltic republics.
Over the last 20 years the liberal KGB Russia four times reduced the amount of nuclear arsenals for tactical purposes. All of them are exclusively within the territory of the state. As for offensive weapons, this number has decreased five times. Simple question: if during the cold war, the United States and NATO held in Europe of their nuclear arsenals declared against the “evil Empire” of the Soviet Union, why are they doing this today? This simple question has an equally simple answer: let the territory with a predominantly Russian population ceased to be Soviet, even changed its socio-economic system, however, the U.S. does not cease and will not cease to regard it as the enemy. That Russia was “a threat”, the ocean spoke seem to have any important figures from the U.S. Secretary of defense Ashton Carter and Director of national intelligence James Clapper to the democratic party’s candidate for President Hillary Clinton.
The fact that this rhetoric has become a mandatory part of U.S. foreign policy in conjunction with the modernization of tactical nuclear weapons deployed in Europe and close to the borders of the Russian Federation, suggests that the talk of nuclear disarmament is only one of those above, intended to force the enemy to voluntarily disarm unilaterally.
