Historical Description and Application:

The B43 is an American atomic bomb developed in the late 1950s and early 1960s, remaining in service from 1961 to the mid-1990s. It was one of the main components of NATO's strategic armament during the Cold War. It was carried by the B-52 Stratofortress, F-111 Aardvark, F-4 Phantom II, B-58 Hustler, as well as the F-104 Starfighter and their tactical variants. The bomb was equipped with various tail assemblies, which influenced how it was used. The SC43-4 and SC43-7 versions were intended for drops from medium and high altitudes, allowing for safer separation of the aircraft from the explosion site.
