The United States has accelerated the fielding of a more accurate version of its mainstay nuclear bomb to NATO bases in Europe,
according to a U.S. diplomatic cable and two people familiar with the issue.
The arrival of the upgraded B61-12 air-dropped gravity bomb,
originally slated for next spring,
is now planned for this December,
U.S. officials told NATO allies during a closed-door meeting in Brussels this month, the cable reveals.
The move, which involves replacing older weapons with the newer version
at various storage facilities in Europe for potential use by U.S. and allied bombers and fighter jets,
comes amid heightened tensions over Russia’s threats to use a nuclear weapon in Ukraine
and growing concerns that the West needs to do more to deter Moscow from crossing that line.

They asked not to be named due to the sensitivity of the issue.
