Nuclear gravity bomb

A nuclear gravity bomb is a nuclear weapon intended to be dropped from an aircraft, with no propulsion. It may be an unguided bomb or a glide bomb. This is in contrast to nuclear-armed air-launched cruise missiles, air-launched ballistic missile, and air-to-air missiles.

As of 2025, nuclear gravity bombs are used in the arsenals of the United States, Russia, Israel, India, and Pakistan, but not in the arsenals of China, France, the United Kingdom, and North Korea.
