In Russia, worried about the tests of a new nuclear bomb, which are conducted in the US. Moscow believes that weapons can turn into a catastrophe for civilians.

This is reported by Newsweek. In Russia, it was feared that a modernized high-precision guided nuclear bomb would reduce the barrier to using such weapons in combat.

It's about the B61-12 bomb. The United States has long been working to improve it. Last week, the test site was re-tested bombs. Tests are planned to be conducted over the next three years, and then it will replace obsolete samples.

The first high-precision guided nuclear bomb in the world B61-12 will be used by the US Army as early as 2020.

Russia, which certainly can not boast of the status of the most peace-loving state, does not even like the very idea of ??creating such weapons. The new bomb, according to the Kremlin, "can change the approach to its very use" and can leave "disastrous consequences for civilians".

"Setting such bombs on armament can objectively lead to a reduction in the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons. This, in our view, is the main negative effect of the ongoing modernization, "Mikhail Ulyanov, head of the arms control department at the Russian Foreign Ministry,.

The US military explained that their new nuclear weapons model will allow us to upgrade the US nuclear capabilities system. All the previous weapons were developed back in the 60s of the last century.
