👉 The yield weapon is a type of nuclear weapon that releases a large amount of energy upon detonation, typically measured in kilotons or megatons. This explosive yield is achieved through the fission or fusion of atomic nuclei, resulting in a catastrophic release of energy and radiation. The term "yield" refers to the amount of explosive power or energy produced relative to the size of the weapon, making yield weapons significantly more destructive than conventional explosives. They are often used in scenarios requiring a high level of devastation, such as in strategic military applications.
