In November, the strategic bombers of the Air Force (Air Force) of the United States worked out a possible nuclear strike in Russia. This was stated by the Minister of Defense Sergei Shoigu, his TASS quotes.
Shoigu added that in general in November, the Russian military recorded a significant increase in the activity of American aircraft in the immediate vicinity of the country’s borders. For the month of the US Air Force, the US Air Force committed about 30 departures to the Russian borders, which is 2.5 times more than in the same period of 2020.
What will save Russians from “nuclear ash” above the heads?
The Russian missile defense system (Pro) C-550 will save from the formation of “nuclear ash” above the heads of residents of Russia when intercepting the enemy missiles, for example, the United States. This opinion was expressed by Military Observer Tass Dmitry Litovkin. He noted that the C-550 probably works on the principle of kinetic interception of goals.
According to him, “in the case of the system about in the USSR, the interception of nuclear warheads over the central industrial area of the country was carried out by the oncoming nuclear explosion.” In his opinion, “the wreckage of warheads will be found, but not as if they still managed to blow their charge on our heads.”
Later in November, the Deputy President of the Russian Academy of Rocket and Artillery Sciences (Raran) on Information Policy, Dr. Military Sciences Konstantin Sivkov revealed the accuracy of American nuclear bombs intended for Russia in Europe. He stated that the circular probable deviation of the b61 family b61 of previous generations, which had a parachute system, was 400 meters. According to him, equipped with modern B61 equipment for homing Joint Direct Attack MUNITION (JDAM) significantly reduced their QWW and increased the likelihood of targeting target.
bombs for strikes in Russia
In early November, the American magazine Popular Mechanics said that the Merican fighters of the F-35A Lightning II will receive the B61-12 thermonuclear bombs for strikes in Russia. B61-12 is a tactical nuclear bomb designed to highly lesion protected enemy shelters.
The publication specified that B61-12 can be used to destroy the staff parts, warehouses with weapons and gathering points of the Armed Forces. The publication assumes that the use of tactical nuclear weapons can provoke the application of strategic.
At the beginning of October, the fighters-bombers F-35A of the Air Force (Air Force) of the USA within the framework of the tests dropped the B61-12 nuclear bomb layout at the Tonopal Polygon in Nevada. Two discharges were carried out at different height and speed. Tests, which were held at the end of September, became the final stage of flight testing of a new ammunition. As reported by the DRIVE, a new bomb was planned to be used on F-35 by 2022, but later representatives of the US Air Force said that the tests of B61-12 will end later.
