This thing fits on an F-35, if I'm not mistaken. I kinda wonder if they're not tweaking a few things. Perhaps making sure the Mod 11 flies like it's supposed to. |

What does Iran possess that would necessitate delivery and effective performance of a B61 Mod11?

Never realized they were spin stabilized like that. That was the main reason I posted the video. I thought the rocket spin was wicked cool I read the below from the B61 wiki page. So basically they are making a JDAM accurate, adjustable yield, fighter deliverable nuke. 'Merica In May 2010 the National Nuclear Security Administration asked Congress for $40 million to redesign the bomb to enable the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II to carry the weapon internally by 2017.[23] This version is designated Mod 12.[24] The four hundred B61-12 bombs will be used by both tactical aircraft (such as the F-35) and strategic aircraft (such as the B-2) and the Tail Subassembly (TSA) will give them Joint Direct Attack Munition levels of accuracy, allowing the fifty kiloton warhead to have strategic effects from all carrying aircraft.[25] However, refitting the 400 weapons is now expected to cost over $10 billion.[26] The B61 Mod 12 tail assembly contract was awarded to Boeing on November 27, 2012 for $178 million.[27] Boeing will use their experience with the Joint Direct Attack Munition to yield JDAM equivalent accuracy in a nuclear bomb.[28] This contract is only the first part of the billion dollar expense of producing and applying the tail kits, over and above the $10 billion cost to refurbish the warheads.[29] The B61-12 uses an internal guidance system and can glide to its target. The bomb has four selectable yields: 0.3; 5; 10; and 50 kilotons.[30] On 1 July 2015, the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) conducted the first of three flight tests of the B61-12 tail kit assembly.[31] |

They've got a super bunker buster bomb that can probably take out any Iranian subterranean target. Probably done to make a point after the talks, showing what will happen if Iran fails to keep their end of the deal. And to a lesser degree, try to calm down Israel, showing that we have a "plan" if Iran misbehaves.

While an interesting question, Russia's the only country with those and they're networked... which poses unique possibilities, a fighter is very likely the last place this will be deployed. Besides, we have guys like LimaXray to go downtown Moscow.
