Um .. the Hiroshima bomb was 50Kton. So 24 times more powerful would be 1.2 megaton, which is kind of small amongst current ICBM delivered bombs, at least (I'm less conversant with aeroplane-delivered)
Is this the Daily Mail beating up a nothing story, or just being egregiously stupid? (or both, of course, with the Daily Snail thats always a strong possibility).

@firefall Hiroshima was about 16 Kt. The B83, is a variable yield device, that can have a yield of up to 75X Hiroshima. It meets the limits set by the international treaties we signed.
Putin is about to turn these treaties into toilet paper, and is using as an excuse, a test that was conducted in the US, for technology that allows us to detect nuke test anywhere on the planet.
We produced weapons more than 700X Hiroshima, and we can start reproducing them, if Russia starts reproducing their mega weapons. Lawrence Livermore is always ready with a production plan, and we have ample "fuel".
