Even in an era of nuclear tipped missiles of global range, the seemingly humble nuclear gravity bomb retains an important deterrent role in that it can be carried by a wide range of aircraft that have routine non-nuclear missions. Thus no-goodniks like China or Iran, for example, have to wonder just what a handful of B-2s deployed to Diego Garcia might be up to. When a US general or diplomat warns that the US is “prepared for all eventualities” it means that conventional and nuclear options are available to the US without risking a general nuclear war by launching land of seaborne ICBMs.

A gravity bomb today is of questionable survivability against modern air defenses. An airplane overflying it’s target is not going to survive against a Russian S-400 SAM, and even stealth has it’s limits.

The law of unintended consequences might want to be considered.

Given current leadership, I'd assume that each bomb will be tagged with a notification that it was manufactured in an environmentally safe environment by a fully diverse and caring workforce...

Before the release of each & every bomb from the airplane, there will be a required congressional commission established to review the mission reasons and the environmental and cultural impact of the explosion...

By order of the WH, the delay in the bomb's release can last no longer than 15-days in order to assure expeditious completion of the bombing mission...

Any quality gravity bomb deserves a quality gravity bomber to carry it.
