US Planning to Upgrade Nuclear Missiles in Germany

Now that the Cold War is over, the Germans aren’t as enthusiastic about having nuclear missiles stationed on their soil as they used to be. In 2010, Germany’s parliament decided by a majority vote, to ask the US government to remove the nukes that are currently stationed in the Luftwaffe’s Bchel Air Base. Not much has changed since then, as our government currently plans to upgrade the missiles instead of removing them.
They want to replace the current B61 bombs with the more modern B61-12. The B61 missile is a fairly low yield weapon, but the new version will have an even lower yield in addition to more accuracy.
