Ok bro, this is 2025, they do have stealth drones, not to mention aircraft you don't know about such as the new F-47. There are countermeasures to anti-aircraft weapons.
But again you are straying away from the main point: forget anti-air, forget the weight and impracticality of a tsar bomb...
If my goal was destroy enemy missile instillations then I'd take the MIRV. But that's not the discussion here.
Also you said "First off, do you have any idea how absurdly, impractically massive a 100MT bomb would be? It would be too heavy for use on a missile of any sort, requiring a direct...
This is a fair point, however, one can imagine a bomber with either x10 1.2MT bombs or x1 100MT bomb. I just never understood why people underestimate these super high yield nukes. Yes a lot of energy is wasted. But wouldn't x10 1.2MT bombs use more U235/Pu239 than a single 100MT bomb? The...
Are MIRV strikes really more devastating the very high-yield explosions?
This is a simulation by nukemap that shows a MIRV strike of x10 1.2MT bombs detonating simultaneously and the other is a very high-yield explosion of 100MT. The thermal rays in the 100MT explosion cover the entire...
