The 1951 Shot Uncle of Operation Buster-Jangle, had a yield about a tenth of the 13 to 16 Kt Hiroshima bomb, 1.2 Kt, [193] and was detonated 5.2 m (17 ft) beneath ground level. [194] No thermal flash of heat energy was emitted to the surroundings in this shallow buried test. [193] The explosion resulted in a cloud that rose to 3.5 km (11,500 ft ...
In mid-September 1954, nuclear bombing tests were performed at the Totskoye proving ground during the training exercise Snezhok (Russian: Снежок, Snowball or Light Snow) with some 45,000 people, all Soviet soldiers and officers, [3] who explored the explosion site of a bomb twice as powerful as the one dropped on Nagasaki nine years earlier.

The B-2 is the only acknowledged in-service aircraft that can carry large air-to-surface standoff weapons in a stealth configuration.
The bomb could also be used against hardened targets. These types of bombs can reach supersonic speeds and have tail fins designed to spin the bomb for greater accuracy. Originally designed to meet a 42,000 lb (19,000 kg) target weight (one half of the maximum payload for the Convair B-36 "Peacemaker" bomber), with its hardened case was ...
