“I have built a nuclear, a weapon, I have built a weapon system that nobody's ever had in this country before,” Trump said in an interview. 9News
Weapons experts are puzzling over Trump's words. Some think he may have been talking about a nuclear warhead that was modified to reduce its explosive power. Known as the W76-2, this weapon certainly is unknown to the general public — not because of secrecy or mystery but because of its obscurity.“There are systems that nobody knows about, including you, and we have some systems that nobody knows about. And, frankly, I think I’m better off keeping it that way,” he said.
It's also possible that Trump had a non-nuclear weapon in mind when he spoke, although he used the word “nuclear.”The president has previously made extravagant claims about US weapons, sometimes straying beyond reality or exaggerating their importance. The F-35, like other stealth aircraft such as the B-2 bomber and the F-22 fighter, are designed to be harder to detect on radar than conventional planes. But they are not invisible, nor does the military claim they are.Details of these weapons' planned capabilities are mostly classified. In February, Trump said: “We have the super-fast missiles — tremendous number of the super-fast.
