The United States is currently investing in a nuclear weapon that is designed to penetrate deep into the ground and destroy underground nuclear missle silos, without causing too much above surface collateral damage or excessive radiation. It is a nuclear weapon that is designed to be an anti-nuclear weapon. WTF? Also, doesn't this mean that we are encouraging nuclear use, by engaging in research in such a weapon? I hate our country sometimes.
I think yes because they are studying anti-matter. They have upgraded their nuclear technology since1945 after they bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki their bomb or missile will be just stronger and stronger.
Honestly, If we dont someone else will. I hate it too but it's a fact.
Did you get your info from the same guy that told Bush there is WMD in Iraq
You are talking about the B61-11. Those have been around for a long time. Nothing new. In regards to nuclear technology, the USA has lost the lead to the Europeans, who are about to bring a super cyclotron on line, one with a 17 MILE DIAMETER ring to it. Look up CERN.
It might have made the Soviets expand their arsenal to ensure the survivability of a second-strike capability. It seems likely to have the opposite effect these days. Other countries don't have the combination of technology and economy to build enough missiles to ensure second-stike capability, and putting a modest number of silos in the ground would only be an invitation to have them destroyed. It seems, though, that it's likely to push research into alternative delivery systems of types that we can't defend well. Going from large numbers of older, less precise nuclear weapons to a much smaller number of technologically advanced weapons makes as much sense with the nuclear arsenal as with conventional weapons.
