Who stabbed who?

According to wikipedia, a "tactical" device like the "Sunbeam" tested in the 1960s will do "Medium damage to civilian buildings" up to about 2km or so. The weapons used against Japan did this to about 5km and modern weapons do it to about 54km.
EDIT: {54km is given as the upper boundary for a 20Mt device. But I note that "Castle", "Hardtack 1 & 2" and "Dominic" pushed 40-50Mt, over twice the yield, so devices exist that extend far further. Range is also increased if the device is detonated underwater and used against a fleet.}
But I'm pretty sure that most tactical devices ended up not going into production.
Neverthless, unless Archer can level everything in 2km with a single shot, it's still not a nuke-equivalent.

That's impossible...
