Not necessarily, but use on any scale has far reaching consequences.
The Tall Boy and Fat Man were firecrackers compared to what's around

Have to pick this nit:

The two bombs were Fat Man (plutonium implosion) and Little Boy (U-235
gun design). The 'Tallboy' was one of Barnes Wallis' deep-penetrators
which, I vaguely recall, weighed 5 tons.
