Now we know, why all our nuclear missiles has to carry atleast 750+ kg of payload

all our nuclear missiles has to carry at least 750+ kg of payload

I am not sure from the link what kg mass of weapons grade plutonium equates to in weapon yield in kT. There must be a geometric increase in yield with increasing kg.

I did find this link.

and this one:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapon_yield

The yield-to-weight ratio is the amount of weapon yield compared to the mass of the weapon. The theoretical maximum yield-to-weight ratio for fusion weapons (thermonuclear weapons) is 6 megatons of TNT per metric ton of bomb mass (25 TJ/kg). Yields of 5.2 megatons/ton and higher have been reported for large weapons constructed for single-warhead use in the early 1960s.[1] Since this time, the smaller warheads needed to achieve the increased net damage efficiency (bomb damage/bomb weight) of multiple warhead systems, has resulted in decreases in the yield/weight ratio for single modern warheads.

What ever be the current scene, we are going to test again, it is just a matter of time. I think other countries also need to test there new designs. I guess this time we will see testing in a week long time, rather then simultaneous explosions
