I believe I just said that in the first reply. Airbursts are not only "cleaner", but they are also more devastating to buildings and vehicles because the shockwave hits close targets directly and adds up after reflecting from ground. Why do you think Tsar-Bomba didn't irradiate a continent?

Airbursts are not some new technology.Even the tiny fission bombs at hiroshima and nagasaki were airbursts,thousands and thousands have been crippled or died in those places from residual radiation even after so many years.Airbursts do not eliminate radioactive fallout,only decrease level.Try it on a agricultural belt riverine area with the canal system providing most of pakistan's vital water supply and poison it?
As for tsar bomba -One it was tested on the northern tip of siberia,away from any habitation.Secondly the 2nd and 3rd stage of the bomb had lead neutron reflectors instead of uranium ones which eliminated over 95% of the radioactive fallout.This technology is used in the neutron bomb,an advanced weapon which was developed during cold war.Neither india,pakistan or china have deployed or developed it.The bomb even with this tech was not used to a higher yield because then fallout would recah populated areas,which were hundreds of kilometres away.
Thanks for this elaborate reply.Only one more question , where will the IBGs be drawn from - the pivot corps or strike corps??
The integral mobile formations of each pivot corps will be used as core.Added will be support assets from strike corps and GHQ reserve.Most of it is still in testing and half implementation stage.
