Yeah but how will you drop this gravity nuke bomb to areas that are heavily defended by anti aircraft missiles that can detect and hit targets 200 miles away?
No, inert warhead. No point in putting a live warhead into the test when you're not planning to detonate it anyway. You'd get just get radioactive materials dispersed over the test range.
F-15 can fly home on one wing , shoot down satellites, raise the temperature of a city from freezing to melting, out live newer designed fighters and its designers.

@@mr.x4036 the F-35s work in tandem with F-15’s I don’t know everything but here’s a scenario, the stealth F-35s go in and take out the enemy’s air defenses, let’s say for example some Russian S-400 missile systems, and their radar stations. Now the enemy’s air defenses are clear for something like the F-15 aka pretty much a missile/ammunition truck, to come in and do it’s thing.

These are important videos with important info shared with the public. But for goodness sake! PLEASE have speakers pronounce the word NUCLEAR correctly.
While I respect the technical expertise and hard work involved in maintaining and upgrading these weapons, I don't really understand why. Obviously, it's not up to Sandia to decide the politics, so this comment is not a criticism against them nor the content of the video, but I fail to see what the purpose is for airdropped tactical nuclear weapons anymore. In what situation are you in a theater of war that is dangerous enough to warrant nuclear weapons, yet safe enough to enable them to be airdropped by tactical aircraft? It makes no sense to me. Maintaining deterrence is perfectly fine, but I don't see what part the B61 and B83 play in that deterrence anymore.
This particular munition is a bunker and hardened target killer. The aircraft in the video shares similar mounting and deployment characteristics with a great many allied aircraft. Having the capability to drop precision nuclear weapons using any kind of aircraft you like is a very good thing, as it allows you maximum flexibility and capability in the mission. Preparing for the end of the world in a convincing fashion is a vital part of ensuring it never happens.
As for the purpose of air dropped tactical nuclear weapons, they're more generally for flexible counterforce strikes. They are for attacking enemy forces in forward areas. With aerial refueling, they can also be used for attacking rear areas, radar installations, airbases, military basing more generally, etc. This would be part of a broader scale offensive -- aircraft in the SEAD role with conventional weapons would necessarily take part. Having available small and accurate nukes you can deploy without special delivery systems is very important for any conception one might have of nuclear war fighting that doesn't immediately procede to a complete exchange. Escalate to de-escalate strategies in use by Russia make this even clearer. American and allied forces have largely dismantled the tactical capacity over the last decades and not having that might well mean a small war that doesn't escalate to the Last War isn't possible. It isn't binary, after all. That's a trap we mustn't fall into.
Fun fact the USAF when I was in had Top Nuclear pilot at base stationed at Hahn AB, GE. Another fun fact my thumbnail photo is of wing patch of that base. Also the last insignia patch dispicting a nuclear bomb going off. That bird is of a Phoenix.
with all the "successfully execute" at the end I was really waiting for "successfully execute people from other nations". because let's be honest. that's the ultimate goal all these people are working for
I always assumed that weapons like this would be lobbed in from an aircraft in a climb to put it on a ballistic arc into to the target to increase the time for the aircraft to depart the area vs flying over the target like a WW2 B17 or dropped into the target in a dive like conventional precision bombing. Absolute precision is not needed when dealing with nuclear weapons vs 500lb/1000lb or 2000lb bombs anyways.
02:13 take note of these video transitions, its made to downscale the quality of the image, then the impact to be censored by further image quality reduction. the same concept was done with the nro images released to the public and applo moon pictures.
So, how is the jet inserting the bomb going to get away safely? Could you make a glide version of this bomb to get greater standoff distance? This is the type bomb that keeps foes off of European turf/soil. The Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, and Turkey have this bomb. But how could it be used when there is an effective no fly zone around the forward edge of the battle area; as is happening in Ukraine (2022-2023) no one side can fly there safely. With proper air defenses in place (or within formation when attacking) there is no way to deploy the nukes without proper standoff capability. Will this be adressed in future upgrades? Thank you. Greetings, Jeff
It's the guidance and durability components that turned a previously unguided gravity bomb into a highly precise gravity bomb with a case durable enough to survive impact. The precision thing is what has been the most important. The closer you get your device to the target, the lower yield it can be and still achieve powerful target effects. Detonating a 10kt device next to a target underground is like detonating a 1Mt device above it or on the surface 1000m away.
@@anthonysaponaro6318 I am surprised. It seems like a nice little job creation scheme to be honest since this is already a nuclear bomb and therefore presumably already certified. If I was a US taxpayer I’d be a bit upset to be honest.

@@daveleau Yes! That's entirely correct. They're the only nation who devised their own weapons and then gave them up entirely. The Israelis helped a lot -- they needed somewhere to test their own bomb program, as well as access to certain metals, and SA had both.
There was no way for Ukraine to use those weapons except by recycling their components and rebuilding them. While the devices and launchers were kept in the former territories, the Russians kept all of the absolutely necessary arming and firing mechanisms to themselves. Under no circumstances could Ukraine simply have used them. They're not simply keys or encryption codes, although those form a major part. The key itself is an offset value. The exact geometry of the primaries in each bomb are uniquely and slightly altered, with a small quantity of high explosive removed. The key contains the offset value which adjusts the electronic firing components to compensate for this removal. Without that value, firing the bomb produces a fizzle, if anything. Ukraine would have had to dismantle all the nuclear weapons and make their own using the materials. That would certainly help a newly fledged bomb program, but no more than that. They're not just rifles or tanks you can walk up to and take control over. Even the Russians treated their weapons of mass destruction carefully.
Prescient comment, in the terms of this week… However, the infrastructure needed to mantain the weapons was beyond Ukraine, so it was a good deal to negotiate them away instead of them just withering away…
Where's the TLC show about these crew persons' husbands and wives? "I Married An Apocalypse-Maker" I hate that we all live under the threat of these weapons, the threat of intentional use and the threat of a mistake.

@@MrGoatflakes Yup, uses INS/GPS guidance. Its accuracy of thirty meters is definitely within the size of the crater it'd form from detonating under the ground.
@@literalantifaterrorist4673 I meant their nuclear versions. And if they are, they aren't appearing in any inventories or on any you know, actual ships or aeroplanes... But someone already pointed out the unique use case of this particular nuclear weapon, and it's a ground penetrating nuclear tipped bunker buster, basically.
The B61 bombs are of almost zero strategic military value. Flying a weapon to a few tens of miles of a high value target and having to pull up to drop it in a steady straight upwards flight is a pure suicide mission in a highly defended environment. The B-61´s main purpose is to give European NATO members the impression of having a part in NATO nuclear deterrence, but it’s delusional and has zero credibility as a deterrent. As of air launched weapons, only nuclear cruise missiles (either stealthy, extremely low flying or highly supersonic and maneuverable) are a credible nuclear deterrent against highly defended targets. Everyone with proper technical and military understanding of this topic knows that. A free falling B-61 is an easy target, the aircraft delivering it even more. Really pointless. The only real interest of the B-61 is to involve the countries hosting their nuclear depots (Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Turkey) and ensure a US retaliatory response if those depots are targeted.
A necessary weapon. I would argue that these nightmarish weapons are crucial to preventing all out war by forcing different "tribes" to "battle it out" using less destructive means. But there is always that "what if" scenario... Just hope reason, joint progress, and compromise can cut through in such a situation. We need to stride towards finding better ways to measure consensus. All options and perspectives should be accounted for in a unified joint consensus.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 KJV, Jesus Christ is the only way

Without that value, firing the bomb produces a fizzle, if anything. Ukraine would have had to dismantle all the nuclear weapons and make their own using the materials. That would certainly help a newly fledged bomb program, but no more than that.
They're not just rifles or tanks you can walk up to and take control over. Even the Russians treated their weapons of mass destruction carefully.
Prescient comment, in the terms of this week… However, the infrastructure needed to mantain the weapons was beyond Ukraine, so it was a good deal to negotiate them away instead of them just withering away…
I came here because of mw2
Lawrence livermore man me!
Where's the TLC show about these crew persons' husbands and wives?

I hate that we all live under the threat of these weapons, the threat of intentional use and the threat of a mistake.

We used to put people in prison for discussing data like this. Does no one understand security anymore?

Everything on here is declassified
It’s declassified, man.
I actually have one of these (inert, of course) sitting on a carriage right outside my office. I give it a little pat as I walk by to do my work. Sandia is a really cool place to work.
В ракетах нам нет равных, ребята американцы. Вы отстали на 40 лет! Аы неудачники

No kidding, eh? Kind of like your nuclear reactors. Chernoble was 40 years ahead of us, too.
Did he say nuculer?
Yes he did.
like a caveman????
Yep. Just like the Bushes (ex presidents) used to say. Good for a 50 point deficit in perceived IQ.

Kind of wondering why a freefall weapon are still being maintained, but surface to air, air to air, torpedoes, and depth charges have gine the way of the dodo.
The Mod 12 isn't exactly a freefall bomb, it's more along the lines of a thermonuclear earth-penetrating JDAM.
@@kumat0ra672 ic. Is it guided? Seems weird if not
@@MrGoatflakes Yup, uses INS/GPS guidance. Its accuracy of thirty meters is definitely within the size of the crater it'd form from detonating under the ground.
All of those things you mentioned are still very much so being used.
@@literalantifaterrorist4673 I meant their nuclear versions. And if they are, they aren't appearing in any inventories or on any you know, actual ships or aeroplanes... But someone already pointed out the unique use case of this particular nuclear weapon, and it's a ground penetrating nuclear tipped bunker buster, basically.

Is Mr. Samuels ex-USN? "Nucular" seems to be the common pronunciation with those guys.
Not this ex USN nuclear reactor operator.

Хватит ли у человечества ума, чтобы не уничтожить самих же себя?
The B61 bombs are of almost zero strategic military value. Flying a weapon to a few tens of miles of a high value target and having to pull up to drop it in a steady straight upwards flight is a pure suicide mission in a highly defended environment.
The B-61´s main purpose is to give European NATO members the impression of having a part in NATO nuclear deterrence, but it’s delusional and has zero credibility as a deterrent. As of air launched weapons, only nuclear cruise missiles (either stealthy, extremely low flying or highly supersonic and maneuverable) are a credible nuclear deterrent against highly defended targets. Everyone with proper technical and military understanding of this topic knows that. A free falling B-61 is an easy target, the aircraft delivering it even more. Really pointless.
The only real interest of the B-61 is to involve the countries hosting their nuclear depots (Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Turkey) and ensure a US retaliatory response if those depots are targeted.

More weapons of death
A necessary weapon. I would argue that these nightmarish weapons are crucial to preventing all out war by forcing different "tribes" to "battle it out" using less destructive means.
But there is always that "what if" scenario... Just hope reason, joint progress, and compromise can cut through in such a situation. We need to stride towards finding better ways to measure consensus. All options and perspectives should be accounted for in a unified joint consensus.
@TL DR nuclear deterrence... You might want to look into that.
I hayyt it
The fear of death keeps us alive
Qué pues...???!!! No se vio la detonación... video chafa.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 KJV, Jesus Christ is the only way
whats with the bible quote
Even Jesus flipped over tables. There's a time for peace and a time for action (war).

This guys dont have shame to work on it?
Why shame? our weapons here in the USA are really built as a deterrent to nuclear war . . . . but also ready ever the need arise , how does one respond after being attacked with a nuclear weapon after all ?
Give up?
Useless weapon
If it’s an effective deterrent, it’s not useless…
Field test work better
Instead of such testings, feed your homeless people, give them job, shelters

...because making a nuclear weapon safer and more durable constitutes a war crime?

More weapons of death
We koreans hope for this weapon to be used to stop the communism and socialism.
They stop death when the US uses them.
