Finally: US Tested The Nuclear B0mb On New F-15 EX Eaggle II

The US Air Force's (USAF) F-15 aircraft has successfully conducted a test release of an inert B61 nuclear bomb over the Nellis Test. Testing demonstrated the multirole fighter aircraft’s capability to deliver the b0mb, as well as functionality of the weapon's non-nuclear components, including the arming and fire control system, spin rocket motors, radar altimeter and weapons control computer. The trial was conducted under a B61 life-extension programme, which is upgrading its nuclear and non-nuclear components, along with enhancing its safety, security and reliability. Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC) Air-Delivered Capabilities director Paul Waugh said: “The B61-12 gravity bomb ensures the current capability for the air-delivered leg of the US strategic nuclear triad well into the future for both bombers and dual-capable aircraft supporting North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (Nato).”
