The media is discussing the possibility of using the American B61-11 nuclear bomb against the backdrop of statements by TV host Tucker Carlson about a potential US attack on the Iranian Mount Makosh site. The B61-11 is the only nuclear bomb in the US arsenal designed to penetrate the ground before detonating. It entered service in 1997, weighs about 550 kg, and its power, according to experts, reaches 340-400 kilotons. The main carrier is the strategic bomber in 2 wind.
According to the US Air Force, the bomb is buried at a height of 4.5-7.5 meters. An underground explosion creates a powerful shock wave that can destroy tunnels at great depth, even though the bomb itself does not penetrate hundreds of meters of rock.
Carlson claimed that the United States could launch a nuclear attack on "Kirk Mountain", where, according to the intelligence, the objects are hidden at a depth of about 100 meters under the granite. At the same time, Carlson himself did not name the B61-11, and American and Israeli officials did not confirm this information. Donald Trump has previously stated that he will not use nuclear weapons against Iran. Telegram Zaloi Proof Zaloi Proof in MAX.
