A new more accurate nuclear bomb will be sent quicker than originally planned by the United States to NATO allies as relations remain at crisis point with Russia over Ukraine, it is reported.
While Vladimir Putin has now claimed that it is the West that has been responsible for ramping up the nuclear rhetoric, Russia has stated that it would be prepared to use the weapons to defend its territory.
And with tensions at boiling point, the US has said that it will be sending updated B61-12 air dropped gravity bombs to NATO allies this December, reported Politico, citing sources and a diplomatic cable it had seen.
