Nuclear Bombs

Nuclear Bombs
Nuclear weapons are the most powerful and destructive explosives in existence. Modern nuclear weapons, which may have the power of several million tons of TNT, generally have 8 to 40 times more explosive power than the “Little Boy” and “Fat Man” bombs that devastated Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. The devices shown here are nuclear bombs used in periodic exercises of the United States Air Force (USAF) strategic air command.
