Bombs and ballistic missiles#

Generated from Strategic.xml, the family KSArmory files these under (KSArmory → Built-in weapons → Strategic).

Heavy MIRV Bus#

Seven Mk 21 reentry vehicles on a post-boost vehicle that stacks on a 3 m node. Nothing on it aims: the ballistic computer flies the whole stack, cuts the engines on the solution, trims the bus back onto it with its own thrusters, and then lets the warheads go one at a time. See docs/ICBM-GUIDANCE.md.

B61 Nuclear Bomb#

The one that neither aims nor fires: it lets a bomb go and the ground does the rest. One B61-12 on a rack that surface-attaches to an aircraft, and a sight that draws the ring the bomb will land in — flown rather than solved, so the ring sits wherever the round will actually go. It ships at the bottom of the real yield range.
