From the post:

>America's newest weapon of mass destruction is going into production seven months ahead of schedule as fears of a war with China continue to grow. Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico are kickstarting development of the B61-13, a nuclear 'gravity bomb' that was originally slated to go into production for the US Air Force in 2026. Gravity bombs are literally what they sound like, a bomb dropped from a military plane which lets gravity do all the work. The timeline was moved up due to the 'critical challenge and urgent need' for a new nuclear deterrent - a threat that's hopefully big enough to discourage America's enemies from attacking first. The B61-13 is 24 times more powerful than the atom bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan in 1945. That first atom bomb, called 'Little Boy,' had a yield of about 15 kilotons - the explosive equivalent of 15,000 tons of TNT.

How many pajeets worked on this new warhead? The fear level you should give to this is inversely proportional to the number pajeets involved in its design.

Oh god. I hope the number is zero. That would be.. Bad. Like, "Starliner" bad but the damn thing just sets itself off for no apparent reason while being transported on slightly uneven ground.

You're giving them too much credit. The hard part is getting it to actually make the atomic explosion. If they can't get the simple parts done correctly, there's no chance the fission reaction will work at all. The best they could end up with is just a dirty bomb but I'm not sure of that either.

Well, its either one or the other. Somehow they manage to build it "good enough" that it at least functions at partial reaction or the conventional explosives go off and contaminates the whole area and probably causing a lot of secondary explosions/fires killing a bunch of people.

No outcome is a good one when pajett is involved.
