Russia and China have both recently developed intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of dropping several nuclear bombs at once.
The new nuclear bomb variant developed under the administration of President Joe Biden has the potential to cause massive death and destruction but pales in comparison to some recent weapons developed by Russia and China.The Pentagon on October 27 announced the creation of a 'modern variant of the B61 nuclear gravity bomb, designated the B61-13'—the latest in a line of weapons that were first produced in the 1960s.
In comparison, a map showing a single MIRV warhead explosion from a Russian Satan 2 reveals heavier destruction over the same target, vaporizing everything within a roughly 0.7-mile radius and causing significant damage more than 6 miles out. More than 1.13 million people would be killed in the explosion, with around 1.37 million injuries.A single 250-kiloton MIRV warhead from a DF-41 ICBM would be slightly less destructive.
