Если в W78 используется вторичный узел от W50 мощностью 400 кт, то почему его не использовали в W62? Боевые блоки Mk12 и Mk12A имеют одинаковые габариты (масса тоже должна быть близка) и носитель Minuteman-3.
The W62 was an American thermonuclear warhead designed in the 1960s and manufactured from March 1970 to June 1976. Used on some Minuteman III ICBMs, it was partially replaced by the W78 starting in December 1979, and fully replaced by W87 warheads removed from MX Peacekeeper missiles and retired in 2010.
The concept of the W62 began in 1961 with an air force study into reentry vehicles for "multiple mode", what Multiple Reentry Vehicles (MRV) was then called. The study proposed a Mark 12 RV for Minuteman, a Mark 13 RV for Titan II and a Mark 14 RV for Titan I and Atlas.
