US Successfully Tests New Nuclear Gravity Bomb

US Air Force

The two non-nuclear system qualification flight tests of the B61-12 took place on June 9 at Tonopah Test Range in Nevada, US officials said. They were conducted by the 419th Test & Evaluation Squadron at Edwards Air Force Base, California, Military.com reports.

"These qualification flight tests demonstrate the B61-12 design meets system requirements and illustrate the continued progress of the B61-12 life extension program to meet national security requirements," said Brig. Gen. Michael Lutton, NNSA's principal assistant deputy administrator for military application.
