The development of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) during the 1950s made long-range bombers obsolete.

The actual nuclear warheads are not that large, less than a cubic meter. However, what is usually shown both in public and propaganda are the warheads loaded on to long-range or intercontinental ballistic missiles, which are significantly larger than the warhead, but have no nuclear content other than that in the warhead.
