humble3d Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Air Force Drops 'Dummy' Nuke Bombs in Nevada Desert... Test Run ?? Pentagon Hyping Test of Two Fake Nuke Bombs in Nevada Desert Amid efforts to modernize its nuclear stockpile, the US test-dropped two dummy nukes in the Nevada desert earlier this month. With the United States’ Minuteman II intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBMs) arsenal aging, the US Air Force has pushed the Pentagon to fund nuclear modernization programs. Defense update: US Air Force to Acquire 250 Next Generation Air-Launched, Precision Glide Bombs To that end, the Air Force conducted successful tests with two B61 nuclear bombs. Neither carried a live warhead. "The primary objective of flight testing is to obtain reliability, accuracy, and performance data under operational representative conditions," reads a statement released by the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). "Such testing is part of the qualification process of current altercations and life extension programs for weapon systems." The 700-pound bombs were dropped by B-2 bombers over a test range in Nevada. "The B61 is a critical element of the US nuclear triad and the extended deterrent," said Brig. Gen. Michael Lutton of the NNSA, according to the statement. Lockheed Martin, another leader in the industry with its F-35, F-22, F-16, F-117, and C-130s saw shares grow more than 3.53%. US Air Force US Plans to Modernize Nuclear Triad are ‘Foolish’ "The recent surveillance flight tests demonstrate NNSA’s commitment to ensure all weapon systems are safe, secure, and effective." In addition to building 400 new missiles to replace the aging Minuteman ICBMs, the Air Force is also in pursuit of a new nuclear cruise missile known as the Long Range Standoff (LRSO). The former program is estimated to cost roughly $85 billion. The LRSO development is expected to cost at least $20 billion. In addition to cost concerns, a number of Congressional lawmakers have fought to abandon the LRSO program on humanitarian grounds, arguing that a new nuclear weapon puts world peace at risk. "Nuclear war poses the gravest risk to American national security," ten Democratic Senators wrote in a letter. US officials seem unlikely to bow to these concerns, as this month’s tests demonstrate. https://sputniknews.com/military/20161008/1046124210/pentagon-nevada-nukes.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Political one-upmanship on a global scale is rather scary at times when one looks at the stakes being played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pc71520 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Iraq, Serbia, Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria. How these countries were in the past and how these countries are now that they are "liberated" and tasted "democracy"; the western one. -If Putin is a bad guy, then who has been the good one? Clinton, Bush or Blair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
