I'm not sure, they havn't said anything about that. I'll be trying to get into the beta(I was in the Ground control 2 beta) or atleast pop off a question.

Pretty sure it's just a very large bomb. They make mushroom clouds too, you know.

It looks too big to be a very large bomb. Perhaps it's a small tac-nuke like the Davy Crocket? But I'm not too familiar with how much damage high yeild bombs and low yeild bombs are supposed to do.

Ace Pace said "I can confirm the nuclear explosion is even more impressive in realtime" which led me to believe that the screencaps shown included a nuclear explosion.
Personally, I could see it being a fuel-air bomb or something like that.

It only takes out a small cluster of buildings; why is that too big for a conventional bomb?

I'm not trying to say that chemical explosives couldn't cause that much destruction, just that the United States doesn't have any conventional bombs that big at the time of the game (late 80s). Up until very recently, I don't think the US had anything larger than 2000 lb, because if you needed something bigger you might as well use a tac-nuke. Can a two-thousand pound bomb do that?
