They should be deployed in Europe in the spring of 2023, but will be delivered to NATO bases in December 2022.

The US has decided to accelerate the deployment of upgraded B61-12 tactical bombs in Europe. Politico reports.

It was noted that US officials at a closed NATO meeting in Brussels said that the bombs would arrive earlier than planned. They should be deployed in Europe, according to the original plan, in the spring of 2023, but will be delivered to NATO bases in December.

The replacement of old weapons with new versions in various warehouses in Europe for potential use by US and allied bombers and fighters comes amid heightened tensions over Russian threats to use the nuclear weapons in Ukraine.

The modernization of the B61 program has been openly discussed in budget documents and public statements for many years.

Pentagon officials say it is necessary to ensure the modernization and security of the arsenal.
