Thaum qee qhov kev pab cuam riam phom tshiab nyob deb ntawm txoj kev, lub foob pob B61-12 tshwj xeeb tshaj yog yuav tshwm sim thiab muaj kev txhawj xeeb rau cov xwm txheej tsis ntev los no xws li kev sim tawm tsam hauv Turkey. Tias yog vim hais tias qhov no coj lub foob pob nuclear zoo li yuav hloov 180 qub B61 foob pob khaws cia hauv tsib lub tebchaws European, suav nrog Qaib Cov Txwv, uas muaj kwv yees li 50 B61s khaws cia ntawm Incirlik Air Base.
