The W38 is a thermonuclear warhead developed by the United States during the Cold War era. It was designed for deployment on the U.S. Air Force's Minuteman II intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and has a yield of approximately 150 kilotons. The warhead is notable for its compact design, allowing it to fit into the missile's payload compartment while still providing significant explosive power.
