there is not a lot of info on the WPs artillery fired weapons, I've seen everything from .5K to 2KT, available for the 130mm,152mm and 203mm guns and the 240mm mortar...although I wouldn't want to be within 9000m of a nuke of any size!

As for the air dropped bombs, there has never been any sort of reasonable count, they would range from 5KT to 15MT.

Perhaps one of the issues that I've always had about T2K was the whole idea of a limited nuclear exchange. Reading the RL non-classified material one gets the impression that both sides were more than willing to escalate (rapidly) once the first nuke was used.
