Development of the W93 warhead is currently in its early stages at the US Department of Energy’s Los Alamos National Laboratory.
For the first time in 40 years, the United States will begin production of a new nuclear warhead, the W93, for intercontinental ballistic missiles that will strike strategic submarines. This was reported by the MSN website citing senior representatives of President Joe Biden’s administration.
Production of the W93 is expected to begin in the mid-2030s. Warhead development is currently in its early stages at the US Department of Energy’s Los Alamos National Laboratory.
It is stated that the W93 is based on existing technologies, so nuclear tests are not expected.
“The introduction of the W93 is aimed at diversifying and strengthening the submarine ballistic missile force of the US Navy, which is based on the W76 and W88 warheads. says the article.
The Biden administration is also said to be seeking funding for continued upgrades of several other warhead types, including the B61-12 nuclear gravity bomb, which is expected to be upgraded before 2025.
Let’s remember that on April 25, Russia vetoed the UN resolution banning nuclear weapons in space. It was initiated by the USA and Japan.
