The American edition of Politico writes that the Pentagon made the decision to accelerate the process of placing a modernized tactical nuclear weapons in Europe. We are talking about aviation bombs of the B61-12, which previously were, at least on a military base in Germany in small numbers.

The material of the publication States that it was originally planned to deliver bombs with nuclear stuffing to Europe in the spring of 2023, and now the American military moved the plans at an earlier date.

It is known that the delivery of the B61-12 will be conducted in November-December of the current year, approximately six months ahead of the originally announced dates.

From the material in an American newspaper:

This is due to possible threats to Russia's use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine, and also with the growing concern in the West about the need for the adoption of measures for the retention of Moscow from crossing the line.

And the Pentagon noted that the modernization of tactical nuclear Arsenal in Europe "is not related to the conflict in Ukraine".

Indeed, as already noted, his tactical nuclear bombs B61-12, the United States began (at least planned) to place in Europe until February 24, 2022.

The official representative of the US Department of defense Patrick Ryder:

We don't want to discuss the details of our nuclear Arsenal. We are upgrading B61 for several years to replace old weapons on the new B61-12. The process does not associated with Ukraine.
