The W73 is a type of thermonuclear warhead developed by the United States during the Cold War. It is primarily designed for use on the AGM-86 ALCM (Air-Launched Cruise Missile) and was intended to equip the U.S. Air Force's nuclear arsenal. The W73 is notable for its relatively compact size and weight, which makes it suitable for deployment on air-launched systems.
