Tanguska event 1908 proved that exploding Meteorite mid-air cause several time more damage than if it had hit the earth. If this is the case, a different design strategy would need to be adopted in which military equipment, bunkers, houses and vital military infrastructures must be designed to sustain extreme air pressures than earth jolts.

If not wrong then all of the Nuclear warheads have been designed to burst in Air.

 

[Thorough Pro]

all nukes are designed to be exploded in air for max lethal effect.

The energy released from a nuclear weapon detonated in the troposphere can be divided into four basic categories:
Blast—40–50% of total energy
Thermal radiation—30–50% of total energy
Ionizing radiation—5% of total energy (more in a neutron bomb)
Residual radiation—5–10% of total energy

Much of the destruction caused by a nuclear explosion is due to blast effects. For air bursts at or near sea-level, between 50-60% of the explosion's energy goes into the blast wave, depending on the size and the yield of the bomb. As a general rule, the blast fraction is higher for low yield weapons. Furthermore, it decreases at high altitudes because there is less air mass to absorb radiation energy and convert it into blast. This effect is most important for altitudes above 30 km, corresponding to <1 per cent of sea-level air density.
