The A bombs we used on Japan were between 10-20 Kiliton bombs (equivilant to 10-20 thousand tons of TNT in initial blast).
Our average size Nuke is between 1-5 Megatons (equivilant to 1-5 million tons of TNT in initial blast). We have much larger bombs and at one point in time the U.S.S.R claimed to have either a 50 or 100 Megaton bomb.
The A bombs used on Japan were like firecrackers when compared to a 1 Megaton bomb.
What size bombs Pakistan and India have; I have never heard discussed by the media.
