New US bomb can kill 300,000 in Moscow – Newsweek | America’s new nuclear bomb planned for development has the potential to level central Moscow and kill more than 300,000 of its 13 million inhabitants, Newsweek magazine reported on Friday, citing a simulation created through the online tool Nukemap. ● The Pentagon announced late last month that it would seek to make a new variant of the B61 nuclear gravity bomb – the B61-13 – pending authorization by Congress. The weapon would have an estimated 360-kiloton yield, which is 24 times more powerful than the one dropped on Hiroshima during World War II. ● If detonated over Moscow, the bomb would kill an estimated 311,480 people and injure up to 868,860, Newsweek said. If dropped on St. Petersburg, Russia’s second-largest city, the estimated number of fatalities from the explosion would reach 360,150, the publication added. The plan to design a new bomb was unveiled amid the standoff between Russia and NATO over Ukraine, as experts, politicians, and the media have discussed the risks of the conflict escalating into a nuclear war.
