W65 (nuclear warhead)

The W65 is a type of thermonuclear warhead developed by the United States, specifically designed for use with the Nike Zeus missile system, which was intended to intercept incoming ballistic missiles. The W65 was a part of the U.S. nuclear arsenal during the Cold War. It is a variable-yield warhead, which means it can be set to detonate at different explosive yields, although specific details about its yield are often classified.
