Historical Information

The atomic bomb Mark 7 (also known as "Thor" or "Jason") was developed in the USA and entered service in the early 1950s. It was the first American nuclear weapon adapted to a wide range of combat aircraft, including the F-84 Thunderjet and F-89 Scorpion. The Mark 7 was used primarily between 1952 and 1967, during the Cold War, forming one of the pillars of the American nuclear deterrent forces. It was the first “tactical bomb” that could be carried by fighter jets – this allowed greater flexibility in the use of nuclear weapons on the battlefield.
