I'd say this is not a coincidence, considering the current climate around the world, but these weapons have been in development for several years. https://www.yahoo.com/news/us-launches-qualification-tests-upgraded-nuke-bomb-064247019.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I didn't catch that. I wonder why an F-16? Why not a more advanced airplane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why an F-16? Why not a more advanced airplane? Might have wanted to stick with what was reliable. Do not want a plane issue to mess up your test.

I wonder why an F-16? Why not a more advanced airplane? Not really sure. F-16 is bit lighter weight than F-15 and 18, so they may think if the 16 can carry it the others could also. F-16 is a bit more maneuverable. 16 is also very reliable...... also I might add that most of Israeli planes are 16s. Might have something to do3ith it.
